    Actually I think Porter wins by KO.

    Shawn has a pretty good chin, and while the match would probably look similar to Brook-Porter, I don't think Keith has the ability to out muscle Shawn for 12 rounds like Brook did, Shawn has crazy stamina and Guerrero's pressure was starting to get to One Time late, and Guerrero hurt him and that's why he was on his bike for the last 2 rounds, Porter I think hits way harder than Robert. And Keith's chin to me still has a pretty big ? over it and Porter will land at least a few times flush..

    I favour Thurman but see what you're saying. Brook nullified Porters offense with a lot of spoiling/holding, not sure Keith would be able to keep Porter off as effectively

    I once favored Porter, but I didn't like what I saw against Bone.

    :lol: When, after he beat Malignaggi and Alexander and half of the planet overreacted with this knee-jerk reaction of anointing Porter the new welterweight Mike Tyson? :lol:

    ...did you like what you saw in Diaz I, or is that before you ever saw Porter fight? ;)

    Every one blowing their load about Porter being a knock out artist because he stopped Paulie reminds me of people thinking Devon Alexander was a puncher when he stopped Urango.

    I think stylistically it could be interesting. Porter's pressure could cause Keith Thurman problems but can Porter take the power. Very good fight.
