    One Time via tko. He is more well rounded. I still see Porter as a one trick pony with flaws. Almost a clone of Berto but slower and less explosive.

    2 glass jawed fighters. Brook would beat them both in a handicap match.

    Thurman, is a more complete fighter. Porter, will not pull that crazy bull **** with a young bull. I'm not saying he can't do damage to Thurman. I just don't see him running in like a beast. Thurman has the power and skills to naturalize "Porter".

    Have to agree here. No way Porter goes in against Thurman like that and if he does he runs the risk of getting caught and caught ugly. Itd be an interesting fight and i hope its one we see a few years down the line with both guys being undefeated.

    I just want to see it! The winner will most likely be the heir (or at least the front runner to the heir) of boxing once the other guys leave

    I hope it's Thurman, since he's just as exciting but has loads more charisma! Much more potential as face of the sport for America

    I would like to see that fight. Thurman would have to watch out for Porter's elbows, low blows, punching behind the hear, forearms, laces, headbutts, etc., very dirty fighter............

    Gotta disagree. I think he's around the same hand speed as Berto. But he's mountains more athletic. The power he has in his legs allows him to be fluent with his movement, and bounce around to land those leaping hooks.
    Berto is a lot more stationary than Porter. I think Porter is more explosive.

    Agreed. Something about One Time shines. He just has the look and feel and humbleness, yet confidence of a PPV star. Just needs to get more exposure and beat someone who can put him over the top.

    If he beats Floyd or Pac, I think he'd be next up with ease. PPV stars today have taken the torch. I don't think Thurman will be any different. He needs to make a name.

    That was the problem with Broner. Instead of earning it, he went out there and tried to use another mans blueprint for success. Instead of fighting, he wanted to piggyback and it backfired. I think Thurman has what it takes though. I hear he's a real hard worker too .
