This fight has not been announced but I asked my Dad about it during Thurman's last fight then Jim Grey brought it up in the post-fight interview for Thurman.
I think Thurman would win but I have underestimated Porter for his entire career. I look at Thurman and I see a Jr Weltwerweight with good speed and a diverse arsenal but real vulnerability. I don't think Thurman will ever be a top 10 p4p fighter. Porter presents difficult angles and legitimate power and speed. I would have Never thought Porter could have beaten a Devon Alexander caliber fighter, but here he is now, after beating Devon and wrecking Paulie, wearing a belt and in line for huge matchups. I think it's a fantastic TV matchup. It's a Saturday night determiner, as in, if this fight happened my evening plans would already be determined.
What are your guys thought on this hypothetical and realistic matchup?

I think Thurman is much more vulnerable, and I think Porter continues to get better. It'd be great if it happens.

Porter gets hit alot. Plus his power is decent at best. He would get fucked up if he tried brawling with the hard hitting Thurman. I got One Time by stoppage.

Before Porter brutalized Paulie, I would have said Thurman. Now its a pick em fight for me. If Thurman can keep Porter off of him, I said Thurman, if he cant, I say Porter. I wanna see another fight from Porter, as Burowz said, hes getting better.

I didn't know Paulie was the measuring stick  I rather judge them by a similar opponent as is the case with Diaz. Porter-Diaz. Porter needed 20 rounds of boxing with Diaz to get that win over him. Thurman-Diaz. One Time needed just 3 rounds to get that name on his resume. _________________ Your Lineal Middleweight Champion Of The World!!! MIGUEL COTTO!!!!

I don't think you can use Diaz as a measuring stick either. It would be like using Hatton. The difference in 2 years was night and day. Diaz just retired because he is done and already at the end of the line. He just retired on his stool. Be fair to Porter. Both Porter and THurman are improving with Thurman certainly the more polished. Porter can really concentrate on boxing full time now. He will continue to grow. Funny though...Paulie is probably at the end of his time too.

But if they fought tomorrow I would pick Diaz over Paulie easily. _________________ Your Lineal Middleweight Champion Of The World!!! MIGUEL COTTO!!!!

NOt sure...Paulie has a concussion and Diaz probably can't breathe too well.

Also, Diaz has been stopped within 6 before, several times. Paulie hasnt. That draw with Diaz also was 5 fights ago. You dont judge Danny Garcia heavily for his last fight, but you come down on Porter hard for a fight that happened 5 fights ago? Paulie being brutalized, despite being overrated is the more impressive feat for me, and its the more recent feat in regards to looking at what Porter can do. Porter if he can erase the distance, Thurman if he can maintain it. _________________

One Time, because he is better in every way, and is more willing to fight Porter than Porter is of fighting him.

Thurman wont win if Porter stays in his chest, I don't care what his fan club says. If he stays in his chest Porter gets k o'd. And you ask Aneed if he watches boxing? I don't believe in Porter's chin. Is that with a straight face? Has he ever been down or buzzed yet. Porter can overcome some things in the ring THurman hasn't had to prove yet like cuts. Thurman looks to have shinier tools but they swinging hammers. Thurman puts himself into a position where Porter would want him....Now if Porter can do something with him I don't know, but I think THurman would best be served boxing and using skills. However, I don't think Thurman has the patience to do that more than 2 or 3 rounds before he is doing what Porter wants and what the crowd wants to see. Thurman seems to be wired that way. THurman says he looks for the KO which is never a good idea and that is the very thing that will leave Thurman vulnerable. If there is one real flaw about THurman it is that he is acting and boxing in a way he thinks people like...he cares what people think...its a flaw. If there is something about Porter to criticize its that is lacks just about everything that is sweet in the science. Crude looking as fuck but gets the job done so far and looks to be improving just as Thurman is improving. Its a great matchup.

I think Thurman got bailed out a bit by Diaz's rib injury. I didn't really see a definitive shot that caused it. Im not saying that there wasn't one, im not saying Thurman didn't cause it, and im not saying Thurman was gonna lose...because he was ahead and I wouldn't chose him to lose at that point. But Diaz was settling into going into Thurman and giving him little space, and Thurman got a bit wild and inaccurate, and not as sure footed. If Porter goes inside on him and Thurman becomes less effective similarly, my money is on Porter.

Porter will hopefully go on to fight Brook, and then I'm real curious who Thurman takes on in the meantime. If he fights another no-hoper, then Porter continues to get experience against solid competition and Thurman is fighting stiffs.

:lol: at Thurman being bailed out scenario. Thurman took him out with a body shot. Made that man QUIT on his stool. Oh ya? When? which punch? In the last 30 seconds of that round, Thurman threw to the body once and it barely landed. Tell me about the body shot. _________________

Julio said himself he got hit with a body shot that ruined him, so the fact that you're either blind or ignoring obvious shit is irrelevant, and the Diaz 'turning the tide' sentiment is dumb as well. he wasn't doing shit. only person that got bailed out was Diaz, from getting truly knocked the fuck out.
