I didn't know he ever had momentum?
Squeaking by Shawn "Wrestlemania" Porter and edging Danny "Mr. Mediocre" Garcia does not impress me. At all.
Beating two C or C+ level guys does not make you A level. It just means you beat C/C+ guys...Comment

Are you kidding me, Thurman is the top dog of the WW division until Spence beats somebody else. Now with all those injuries he falls in his rankings.Comment

Right but there was never a "top dog" in WW. WW is a very watered down division after Floyd, Mosley, Manny, Cotto, Marquez, and Bradley all retired.
It was the glamour division. It is far from glamour now as it's merely a 2 dog race...TC and Errol
It's the same problem with Golovkin. People want to say Keith and Gennady are these world-beaters, but they aren't. Both guys had easy paths to success and were almost never tested by a good fighter.
Danny Garcia? The guy that lost to Lamont Peterson, Mauricio Herrera, and was about to lose to Zab Judah???
Shawn Porter? This WWE guy got smacked up by About Broke, lost decisively to Kell Brownies, and has looked horrible in every fight I've ever seen him. Can't even call what he does "boxing".
And Thurman was hurt by Luis Collazo...career journeyman. So impressive

As for Gennady...he's dominated part-time boxers and cab drivers and the only 2 fights where he fought someone with a pulse he arguably lost both.
All smoke and mirrors.
Terrence and Errol are the WW "top dogs" as you like to call it. Thurman is just a little bit better than Berto was at that point in his career. Porter is horrible. Danny is like a younger Devon AlexanderComment

Regardless of your personal opinion at the moment Thurman is the more proven WW until Spence adds one more big name (if anybody dares to fight him) and TC actually starts fighting at WW.Right but there was never a "top dog" in WW.

Now with Thurman out of action for so long and not knowing when he is going to come back he goes down a notch.
WW has always been a hot division. I personally think that Spence will be the top dog soon but he has to fight his way there.Comment

I agree that Thurman is currently #1 by default since Spence hasn't fought anyone although the Brook win was definitely decent (somewhat tarnished because of when he fought him though). TC simply hasn't fought at the weight yetRegardless of your personal opinion at the moment Thurman is the more proven WW until Spence adds one more big name (if anybody dares to fight him) and TC actually starts fighting at WW.

The fight outcome depends on the ref selected. If you have a ref that's going to let Porter use all of his WWE moves in the boxing ring, then you're right. But of the ref puts a stop early to all the head-butting and wrestling porter likes to do, Danny should win this fight because porter aggressive style is tailored madeComment

Kinda sounds like an out to me. But I will confidently pick a Shawn Porter victory via decision regardless of ref selection. I'm going on record, Shawn Porter by decision. Thats what it is! Danny has no punch at 147!The fight outcome depends on the ref selected. If you have a ref that's going to let Porter use all of his WWE moves in the boxing ring, then you're right.
