2 days from now: "Kenny Porter says Thurman is stalling"

And NSB will believe him because they hate Thurman for whatever reason.

They really do hate Thurman on this forum it seems. Not sure why, he's a puncher. Pretty much all it takes these days to become a hype beast.

Right, he has a higher KO % than Golovkin does and everyone hates him too. You literally just proved my point.

Cong****.

This could be on showtime right? I assume they both want to get paid the big bucks for this fight. Also why Connecticut? I think some posters were right when they've been saying the fight was already a done deal cause then they could of just put this in vegas the week after the ufc fight

I don't hate Wilder, I'm not sure what point I've proven.

Dont know if its worth making the trip from Puerto Rico when all Thurman is gonna do is run and retreat like a little coward bish. Porter is gonna go hard though which will be entertaining on its own. Decisions, decisions.

You've proven that when a fighter of a foreign background has a high KO % it's praised but when a American fighter does the same, it goes unnoticed or appreciated.

What's wrong with Pac's eyes in your avy by the way? They look so weird.

Wilder doesn't have nearly as many fights against rated contenders as Golovkin, and all of his many fewer title defenses were against fringe contenders whom all arguably should not have been fighting for a belt. (Not that Golovkin has fought zero such opponents, but he does have a few legitimate defenses as well) In my opinion he isn't nearly as good a boxer as Golovkin in general either, probably a result of their widely different amateur experiences.

That being said, Wilder is a more interesting personality and the fact that he is vulnerable and is a huge puncher makes his fights exciting to watch. So I like him but I wouldn't exactly be in a rush to treat him as though he is a great boxer. *shrug*

If it makes you feel better this whole Wilder/Fury business has a lot of potential to be hyped into oblivion so we will probably be hearing a lot about and from Wilder in 2016.

It's going to be on CBS last time I checked.

Thurman doesn't run and retreat. He boxes.

Porter's slightly better than a bum and Thurman's not elite either
