It was weird hearing Thurman mention Manny the other night with Spence sitting right next to him. Just don't think ol Arum will ever cash that Manny card out. The lead to a random Jeff Horn has been like passing a stone in how they finally arrived at it. He's also screwed with mandatory in Porter rematch imo. Cannot think of many rematches I'd like to see less ;D. Think it all rides on Brook and Spence with Thurman in spectator role for now, even coming off his biggest win.
I have no problem with the rematch. It was a great fight the first time around and it was also close. Porter is still a top fighter in the division. I have absolutely no problem with a second fight.

It was a good fight and I like Porter, but it feels like a step sideways for Thurman. If he's waiting on and he should be building on momentum off Garcia win it's not by beating a guy you already beat in a close fight. More so if Brook beats Spence
Re: Keith Thurman next fight..
I see Porter winning the rematch. First fight was extremely close, and Thurman has changed his style since that fight, while Porter seems to be fighting better. I see Keith losing to Spence, Porter, Pac, and Brook at this point.

I disagree, Keith Thurman beats them all including Floyd.

Just can't resist putting his name on there. Why not go the whole hog and put SRL's name in as well. He's also RETIRED!!😂😂😂😂
SRL is a real ATG so why would I put his name on that list? ;)
Re: Keith Thurman next fight..
I only want Spence to beat Brook so he can beat Thurman.
Brook can go up to 154 after the loss and get a fight with cotto.
This fight will show if Spence is everything he thinks he is..Spence is better than lacy but Brook is no calzaghe...yet.
Re: Keith Thurman next fight..
I think Thurman sees the Porter rematch as kind of high risk low reward. He just scraped by last time. With the Brook/ Spence winner at least it would be a unification. Same with Pac and the money that would come with that fight.
Re: Keith Thurman next fight..
I would definitely rather Thurman rematch Porter than to just wait around until November to fight again. Even if he wants a tune up before fighting Spence, I don't mind as long as he stays active.
