    Was Porter/Thurman the best Welterweight fight since Mosley/Oscar 1?

    Best in years imo.........but is it the best since then?

    Best since Manny/Marquez 4.

        Mann/JMM IV
        Manny/Cotto
        Cotto/Marg I

        Just off the top of my head, so no it wasn't.

        But it was a terrific fight, one which falls just short of greatness but exceptional none the less.

              No way. Just in recent years Bradley/Provodnikov and Marquez/Pac 4 were clearly better.

                  Great fight, but it's not the best Welterweight fight in the last 16 years. C'mon man, lol.

                  Besides the fights already mentioned in this thread, I think even Berto-Ortiz 1 was better.

                  But Thurman-Porter is probably the best since Floyd-Maidana 1. And then Pac-Marquez 4 before that.

                    It's up there, some of my other favourites would be Cotto vs Margs, Pac vs Cotto, Margs vs Williams, Floyd vs Maidana 1, Mosley vs Forrest
