    Thank you, I’ve never understood fans who don’t wanna see the best match ups, when Thurman was stalling to fight Porter I was pushing for Porter to get that fight.

    Porter got exposed by Brook and doesn`t want to make a fool of himself and Spence who toyed with Brook, If Spence did so much better than Porter v Brook, what would be the point in Porter fighting him?

    Porter is easy to counter and Garcia is a brilliant counter puncher.

    He has to beat Garcia first before he can duck anyone. Just because he says he doesn't want the Spence fight doesn't mean the right money cant make it materialize

    For sure, I hope he changes his tune once he has a belt coz before Spence came around Porter was willing to fight anyone. I hope we get that old Porter back.

    Yeah and that’s what will make it close, but I think Porter is gunna mix it up. Danny has slow feet and hasn’t fought one really powerful fighter at 147, Porter has fast feet and has a lot of strength.

    Porter never got exposed by Brook, Brook beat him but it was a competitive fight in which he did a lot of holding. Spence never toyed with Brook, that was a tough fight too in which Spence broke him down but again it was competitive.

    Triangle theory doesn’t work, styles make fight and fights are won in the ring not on paper. Just look at Mayoga, Forrest and Mosley.

    Thurman is far from irrelevant and Porter wants a shot at redemption.

    Spence is better than all three of those guys who had many more flaws than Spence, all you have to do to beat Brook is use a fast jab, Porter didn`t do that because he isn`t an elite fighter with an elite IQ.

    So...because you're hearing what amounts to rumors, you're ready to dump him?

    Geez...this site is more like a soap opera sometimes...

    I'm ready to dump any fighter who isnt moving towards undisputed. I aint a fan boy who makes excuses for fighters, take good fights and say the right things I support that 100%.

    i was giving you an example of how the triangle theory doesn't work. Brook was a top welterweight when Spence beat him and I think Brook would have been beaten Thurman.

    I see it being close until 5-6, then Garcia will wilt and start getting beat up.
