    Porter's best wins are still better than Thurman's best wins. I think Thurman is a good fighter, but he's been hurt in his last two fights. Still a long ways to go for Thurman to impress me fully.

    Stick him in with Alexander or Bradley.

    He's beaten some solid fighters. He now needs a step up before he can even think about Floyd. But Floyd wouldn't fight him anyway. Thurman has too much speed and movement. Floyds only fights over-the-hills or slow plodding straight ahead fighters.

    He's an exciting prospect the stoppage tonight was unexpected hopefully he'll step up his competition soon to prove all the hype he gets

    Getting rocked in the first round isnt a big deal, and he wasnt hurt that much against Diaz

    Put it this way he stopped Diaz in 3 Porter went the distance twice with him and never knocked him down

    Thurman's resume isnt that strong but its how he does it, hes legit

    If he fight Mayweather the way he fought Diaz in the last round of the fight tonight, he would get his ass embarrassed

    He got careless because he thought he had Diaz hurt, no way Mayweather comes charging forward anyway

    His win over Diego Chaves impressed me the most that was an exceptional fight and Chaves needs to get back in the mix ASAP. He was out for a while with a injury and recently had a tune up so it should be soon.

    Thurman has been stunned in a few fights including tonight even though Diaz isn't a puncher and his wide punches leave him open for counters but it still isn't easy because he usually throws in combination. Talented, exciting, killer instinct with slight vulnerability and flaws what isnt to like? Hope he gets a top name WW soon hopefully Alexander to rid us of him. Porter would be awesome.

    :lol::rofl Please tell me you're joking.

    A bum like Sottoe-KarASS can stun Thurman but he's got too much speed and movement for Money. :patsch

    Well lets look at their top fights

    Shawn Porter
    2 fights with Julio Diaz - 1 draw, 1 win
    Devon alexander - UD win, IBF title
    Paulie Malignaggi - TKO4

    Kieth Thurman -

    Carlose Quintana - Former Champ way past his best TKO 4
    Jan Zavek - Former champ UD12
    Diego Chaves - Undefeated contender KO 10
    Jesus Soto Karass - TKO 9
    Julio Diaz - RTD 3

    Im honestly surprised Thurman isnt champ instead of Porter based on their Resume but thats politics for you. Regardless though this fight needs to happen and both fighters are exciting so put em together and winner gets Mayweather in 2015
