    Keith Thurman fights at a very predictable rhythm and telegraphs when he's about to punch with his wide punches. Floyd would beat him easy. Thurman can't do anything Canelo couldn't except he's lighter on his feet which is almost irrelevant here.

    Kell Brook is a good boxer, but he simply can't outbox Floyd. More skilled boxers have failed to do that. He has a good jab, but has a very big/bad habit of dropping his lead hand when throwing it. Lesser fighters have exploited this by countering over it with right hands. Floyd would own him

    Porter is extremely athletic. Very quick feet and hands, decent punch, but the thing that stands out to me is how strong he is and his stamina. He fights at a very fast pace, but I never seen him get tired or even gasp for air. He also is tough as hell to clinch. Paulie and Alexander both tried to tie him up when he got inside, but Porter simply out muscled them both and kept fighting.
    I think Porter has the ability to get inside on Floyd and would force Floyd to fight him off inside. I think Floyd would adjust and counter the hell out of him as the fight goes on, but Porter would be the toughest fight

    FMJ will have to beat himself by undertraining or getting old in order to lose.

    Shawn Porter is pretty much the definition of a young hungry lion.

    Who knows....but I'm sure Americans will buy it. I mean, only in a nation with as many cowards as America would people think Floyd is a some kind of hero.

    Yes because they will all complain at the ref with their guards down while FMJ delivers a devastating sucker punch. :bbb

    Or we can travel to 7 years ago, put a corner post in front of all three boxers and let FMJ do one of his signature check hooks.

    Because let's face it, the only career WW that FMJ ever KO'd through a punch he threw was Mitchell.
    And that was nearly a decade ago.

    I think all 3 of them will lose to Floyd.
    It's great to see that about 1 week ago, people saying that Porter was the weakest champ in the division. Now he KO's Paulie, and he's the next big star. What a difference one match makes.
    Brook is a car crash waiting to happen. He has a great record, but he'll have to step up pretty soon.
    Thurman is a great fighter to watch, and I like him most out of the 3.
    I hope a match between 2 of these 3 fighters will be made ... but I'm afraid that won't happen.
