Shawn Porter could fight Thurman after beating Brook

[Ron Swanson]

This fight. Is only behind GGG/Ward as far as my interest goes. Doubt we see either.

There's not enough money in the Showtime budget in 2014 for Porter after Porter is paid for Brook for this fight.

At this point, do you honestly believe Ward-GGG is a competitive, close fight? I don't yet. I'd like to see if GGG's power translates at 168 first before I think he's got a shot at the best guy in the division above him, with that said, of course, I wouldn't pass up watching the fight.

I hope that fight happens. I think Porter takes it. Think his speed will get him a UD. Should be a great fight.

I don't know. I just want to see someone attempt greatness. When Ward entered the Super 6 he was a massive underdog and inexperienced, but he took a shot at greatness. People suggest smart business plans for GGG but they hardly ever suggest a shot at greatness. Unifying isn't that shot, titles are defined by who carries them. GGG could win all the belts and I wouldn't think any different of him than I do now. But fighting Ward, hell, he wouldn't even have to win to move up in my book.

i would love for this fight to happen. it makes perfect sense but i doubt it happens right now. they will both want to make bigger names for themselves so that down the road their fight will make a ton of money.
