    "Danny Garcia vs Shawn Porter": Two young undefeated fighters in their primes fighting on the biggest stage for an opportunity to potentially unify vs Mayweather. I think this is a good 1st fight at 147lbs for Garcia, plus it's for a legitimate world title. This is also a real test for the new champion Porter.

    FTR I feel Garcia would beat Porter. How do you guys feel about this matchup and who would you favor?

    I agree that Porter has looked suspect in the fights I've seen. I give him props for beating Alexander and becoming a champion. Fighting Garcia is probably a good option, a guy moving up in weight and Porter probably feels he could rough up Gsrcia......??? Very intriguing match up

    I'd like to see Garcia vs. Guerrero or Porter... A lot of good options out there.

    Even fresh off the defeat, Alexander would be a solid opponent for Garcia's first fight at WW.

    Alexander vs Thurman would be good. Id take that...Garcia vs Alexander is a good fight as well. If I were Haymon and GBP I'd def put Garcia in a title fight vs Porter. Low risk high reward.

    Porter has to fight his mandatory in Kell Brook before he fights anyone else. unless of course, it's a unification.
