    For me the jury is out on bradley for the time being. Guy has a remarkable will but i think its cost his body plenty, even though hes know for being in great shape. So the wars plus we have to see how he continues on without joel diaz and does under atlas. Also we'll see if i what diaz says about tims wife pulling a Jin mosely is true.

    As for Porter vs thurman. Thurman seems to be easier to pressure than we may have anticipated in the beginning. This may work well for Porter as he is got more muscle at the weight that Guerrero did. However i dont think he will have the guerreros benefit of experience /ring IQ. The worst part of this for porter is that hes really not hard to find and thurman will definitely use his jab and move his feet more than Broner. Will he do it as well as brook did? probably not because thurman on his bike seems to take the edge off his power, but cant help but plant and go on the offensive every once in a while. That's where the opportunities could like for porter if he throws with thurman. Im pretty sure kenny porter reminds his kid everyday of the broner scored that knock down and the momentary lack of concentration that led to it. I slightly edge thurman as he has more of the tools to deal with blind aggression than porter has to deal with being found so easy.

    Absolutely stacked division and this would be another top notch match up! I don't think Haymon or those pulling the levers have much regard for Porter and wanted him to be the showcase rebound for Broner. Thurman is much more sound and has the gears and regardless of power talk he has no shame in winning 12 on the back foot. That said, if Collazo can out physical..even shortly.. and badly hurt Thruman in the body no doubt Porter can. Thurman can have these dead spots when he gets on the ropes. Its a real interesting match and only hope it gets made.
