    Here it is right here actually where Thurman said Brook beat Porter better than he did. Interesting video actually. One thing I give Thurman he's usually honest and knowledgeable in his assessments.
    Yea I saw that a while ago. Thurman is very articulate and he knows his boxing and is fair in his assessment.

    Brook did beat Porter more convincingly but Thurman/Porter was a better fight to watch.

        Thurman is the goods.. I've liked him since his one time days and even thought he looked brilliant against DSG. But I feel both Spence and Brook would beat him because they are the biggest WW's and I see them over powering the other WW's.

        But nothing is guaranteed.. Thurman is a damn good fighter and he ups his game depending on his opposition. Who ever wins out of Brook/Spence has already said they want to unify with Thurman so WW is on fire atm then you have Bud Crawford who will be moving up too.



        Good stuff man.

        Thurman actually is a big welterweight too. His first few fights were above 147 in the 150's. All three of those guys are big welterweights.

        It's going to be really interesting to see how it plays out at welterweight.

        The best fighters at welterweight to me are Thurman, Brook, Spence and Pacquiao.

        They should all fight each other, but I doubt Pacquiao and Arum will do that. Pacquiao to me is the least of the four at this stage in his career.

        But winner of Brook-Spence against Thurman would be awesome.

        After Brook and Spence tangle with each other. We'll have a good idea about things at welterweight.

          i'm going for Spence to win this fight. that said. Brook had a easier time against Porter than Thurman did.

            Thurman will be secretly rooting for a Brook W knowing that there could welll be a guaranteed stadium bonanza fight in the UK just around the corner. A Spence fight would be somewhat less lucrative.

              Brook beat Thurmans best win better than he did. Brook didn't labour to a points win over Bundu or nearly crack from bodyshots against a Collazo either. Spence could be good but he's the one who hasn't proved it yet. Algeri and Bundu are indicators of he's talent, but not proof of he's heart or chin.

                Thurman is the man at 147. He wipes out the division easy aside from a tough fight with Spence.

                    I think that was my biggest issue with Brook, especially with the amount of years he spent at 147 and how many talent/names that was there through out those years.

                      Yeah cause Spence has proved so much more than Brook aye??

                      I swear I don't understand the logic sometimes.

                      Brook might be a ***** who trjes to get butt sexs on the low from random dudes, but he's gonna beat Spence down. And I'll quote and bump this thereafter.
