Credit should be given to Thurman because chosen to engage and not just clinch up and hold which seems to be the most effective style to neutralize Porters Football/Wrestling style
Bradley/Ruslan was a great fight, that would probably be #5 after all I listed, maybe 6, if I give it some thought.
Doesn't top Maidana/Floyd I though, Maidana had all kinds of momentum, and was ahead on many cards through round 6, Floyd hadn't looked that vulnerable in a long time.
Everyone was expecting Ruslan to be Ruslan, and the fact that Bradley had a chip on his shoulder going in, made for a great war because Bradley came in determined to prove a point, but the narrative of that fight wasn't as special in the moment or impressive as what Maidana came to do against Floyd.
