    Im hearing he hasn’t got any interest in fighting Spence or Crawford . If this is true then I hope Danny beats him coz that is a joke, this guy used to want to fight anyone.

    The man has had a decent run of opposition, let him chill out for a minute or two

    I don’t mind if he says I wanna get the Danny fight and then a title defence. After I’ll go into a title unification but he ain’t talking like that. He just seems to want an irrelevant thurman fight

    To him it probably isn't irrelevant, it was a pretty close fight and he wants his second go at it, he dragged Thurman deep and lost by a hair and he probably feels he could beat him this time around.

    IIRC a few people were calling it FOTY

    I wouldn't be opposed to a rematch.

    I had it a draw, it was an excellenf fight. However the reason it’s irrelevant is because Thurman is constantly injured, inactive and won’t be taking any tough fight for at least two fights. In the mean time Porter if he wins should want Spence and the Crawford/Horn winner.

    Alexander, Malignaggi, Broner, Brook, Thurman, Berto, Garcia next... Shawn Porter ducking? KTFOH. Thurman is still the undefeated undisputed Welterweight champ without a belt. Crawford hasn't even had a fight at Welterweight yet for crying out loud. If Porter beats Garcia for the title, the first thing he wants to do is beat the chronically injured on the way out top dog in the division before Spence does, makes him the A side in any future negotiations, and he avenges one of his losses.

    If you want to have a go at fighters avoiding opposition you need to go down a very long list before you get to Porter.

    Lol quite a few errors there. First of all Thurman was never undisputed to begin with. Second of all he is still has a belt so he isn’t beltless.
    Third of all, why do you wanna seem go after a injured guy who doesn’t wanna fight anyone dangerous when you have a belt holder calling you out?

    Have a go? I even started off by saying Porter was a guy who wanted to face anyone. But you ain’t gunna sit there and tell me Porter isn’t ducking Spence, he has been offered the fight when he wasn’t the mandatory but instead he kept begging for the Garcia fight.

    I like Shawn but if he beats Danny I expect him to be tryna unify with all the other belt holders not just like 1. Same thing I expect from Spence, Thurman, Crawford/Horn.

    It won’t matter as Danny Garcia is going to beat Porter convincingly.

    Great job there Sherlock. Ask anyone who the top dog is in the Welterweight division, its Keith Thurman. Sounds pretty undisputed to me. He still has a belt, until that one gets stripped cause in case you haven't noticed, Thurman ain't defending that one either any time soon. Porter wants and has been calling out Thurman for the same reason Spence has been calling out and wants Thurman. Thurman's had severe pain in his arm, a major injury, a long lay off, and reoccurring injuries. By all logic, his career for the best part is probably over when looking at the contenders lining up for a crack. You give Porter the choice between Spence and Thurman, hell take Thurman. You offer Spence the choice between Thurman and Porter, hell take Thurman. It's just logic, everyone wants to be top dog.

    Lool am surelock for pointing out your rookie mistakes?

    No one sensible would say Keith Thurman is undisputed and if they did they would mistaken or lying. Spence has been calling for Thurman before Thurman even got his first belt, do your research.

    Spence has called out porter when porter didn’t have a belt, Of course they both want Thurman but for two different reasons. Porter wants Thurman because Thurman beat him and he knows Spence would likely beat him, and Spence wants Thurman coz he is the bigger name. Spence is already earning more money and is now selling more tickets than Thurman. He is the ducked man in the division, only person who seems to want the fight is Crawford.

    Unfortunately he’s in a stacked division so no. He was ducking Spence, Errol offered him a title shot while he waited for Thurman... crickets

    I got Porter winning uno. Danny just won’t be able to deal with the engine and strength. It will be close but I edge to Porter.
