    I think Porter is getting somewhat overrated right now. I see in Porter a poor man's version of Berto. Athletic and fast as hell but flawed. Maybe he will improve but right now, he has no regard for defense and throws wide, looping shots. He just hasn't fought a guy skilled enough to expose this. Actually, I recall watching him fight a few years back and he was getting countered to death but they gave him the decisiom or draw. Don't recall his name.

    I think Thurman is the real deal. He can box and fight going forwards or backwards. He doesn't try to bum rush you ala Porter but actually surveys the situation. He appears to have good pop and his hands are fast enough. Not as fast as Porter but fast enough.

    1 week from now, he'll go back to being regarded as the weakest champ at WW.

    Porter is different to Berto. Porter is a swarmer, Berto was more of a fast slugger. Both have technical flaws, but Porter imo has much better footspeed and stamina

    Father Time. The man is 37. Father Time will catch him with a clean punch eventually.

    Only GGG would give him problems.
    All others do not have a chance in this lifetime.

    porter has the best shot because at 37 floyd is susceptible to a young guy who brings pressure in bucketloads and thats what porter seems to be able to do. i think floyd beats them all tho

    Susceptible to a young guy? Floyd is a young guy boxing wise, does not abuse drink or drugs!!

    Porter. The other two would fall into playing Floyd's game and fighting his fight. You cant try to out-Floyd Floyd. You cant play chess with Floyd, you need to flip the table. Porter has the best chance of doing that.
