He's right, Porter does have a better resume, Thurman hasn't fought anyone on the level of Brook or even porter for that matter.

gotta respect shawn..dont like him..but i respect him and his camp
went to 144 without a title on the line and didnt even get over 2 million
mind you this guy is said to have fought at 160 and higher in the ams, and im told his rehydration numbers are some of the top numbers for welterweight

but we have other boxers who claiming they are small for their division and that they only rehydrate 3 lbs...but he cant go down 4 to 5 lbs to fight for wat would be the biggest ppv in boxing that year unless floyd comes back..and for the lineal championship...

CALL OUT THE FIGHTS THE FANS WANT...NOT THE FIGHTS YOU WANT!
that is wat the best boxers do

How can he say that before actually fighting Thurman?

[emre belozoglu]

porter has a good mentality he pushed brook hard but just came up a bit short he could wear down Thurman who I think is soft and easier to hit than brook

[emre belozoglu]

He looked to have improved a bit in the broner fight he might raise his level again

Porter is whack, Thurman gonna beat him easy.

[NapalmKnuckles]

I hate the way Porter fights and his dad is a jerkoff but I do admire his heart and will.

That's a good point, and we'll see how much of an effect his greater opposition has come fight night. This is the biggest fight of Thurman's career, he might be jittery where Porter is not.
