    Broner is a controversial character who modeled himself after Floyd. he attracted as much haters as fans. on top of all of that, he's an exciting fighter.

    guys like him dont come around often. anyway, Porter and Thurman have the potential to be there, but i think it's gonna take them a little bit longer. Thurman is well on his way.

    I think Floyd should start putting more of these up and comers on his undercards like he was doing with Canelo.

    1. Kovalev vs Stevenson
    2. Canelo vs Lara
    3. Thurman vs Porter

    Thurman needs a big win though because Porter is world champion he doesnt need to take the risk in fighting Thurman

    I'd still rather see Kovalev-Stevenson.

    I'd also like to see Porter-Provodnikov.

    I agree this will be great. It will be similar to Bradley-Alexander in 2011. Lots of hype if both continue this path. Porter is ready to really step up. It will be interesting to see if Brook ducks him like he has everyone else competent.

    Something like that! Neither are that good though... Danny vs Matthysse was confirmed #1 in the division vs confirmed #2...

    It seems to be more like Bradley vs Alexander, only unlike that fight where both are feather fisted, bother were defeensive boxers, and Alexander in particular is a fight killer... This fight is between 2 power punchers, neither of which is particularly hard to find!

    I'd put Canelo vs Lara at #1, but otherwise I agree

    Dont think so because Kovalev and Stevenson have looked like unbeatable beasts stopping people left right and centre

    Canelo didnt look too good against Trout and Floyd

    Lara didnt look too good against Angulo and Hernandez
