Pacquiao and Crawford should both fight Porter..

[JakeTheBoxer]

..to determine who is the best at 147. Porter can be a measuring stick.

Porter beat Danny, so he is better than him. Spence beat Porter, but barely, so Spence is a little above him. Thurman is above Spence, because he beat Porter clearly.

Let Crawford and Pacquiao fight Porter and find out how do they look against him.

Styles make fights and triangle theories don't always pan out. Ken Norton had Ali's number, Ali made Foreman look like a fool, Foreman obliterated Norton.

Not that I wouldn't want to see these fights, but you can't just determine rankings based on their performances against Porter.

I agree with this. Just because Thurman beat Porter more clearly doesnt mean Thurman beats Spence. For that matter I feel like Thurman is capable of putting on a show of himself against any name in the above post win or lose.

Good wording on the triangle theory and perfect example!

Manny whoos them both.

Thurman is not better than Spence and Spence has shown to be the better fighter overall. Spence would be the betting favorite if he fought Thurman. Spence has never lost a fight and hits harder and KOs a higher percentage of his opponents than Thurman. He dropped Porter and porter did not. Thurman has been dropped a few times but nobody has ever dropped Spence. Thurman was dropped and lost to Pacquiao and that would not happen to Spence. Thurman was badly hurt by Lopez who Spence would easily ko. Thurman won on points over Bundu while Spence easily KOed Bundu. Bundu said Spence was better than Thurman. Thurman is not as good now as he was when he beat Porter a few years ago and it showed in his more recent fights with Lopez and Pac.

Sorry, I meant to say Thurman did not drop Porter but Spence did drop Porter.
