Who would you want to see Keith "Quite a few times" Thurman fight next.?

Porter? Khan? Pac? Brook/Spence?

Give your reason for each choice..
Porter - he got beat fair and square first time round, but he's earnt the right to a rematch, so if it's Porter, we can't argue I suppose.
Khan - why? Because Khan begged him? Khan is irrelevant and isn't anywhere near as big in the US as he thinks he is. (Any Americans please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Pac - fun fight, out with the old, in with the new.........but it'll never happen.
Brook - This all depends on who wins between Brook and Spence. But I reckon this is why Thurman has given himself till November. Plenty of time for both parties to make a megabucks fight. Obviously Thurman would hope for Spence to win as it means a guaranteed US Fight.
Spence - As above really.
So ideally , a unification against the winner of Brook/Spence would be great, and 2017 has started to see some decent matchups , but something tells me this will "Marinate" for a while.
For the record, I reckon Brook AND Spence would beat Thurman as I think atm they're 1 & 2 in the division. We'll soon find out the order they're in.
I think Thurman is praying Brook wins. Way more money in a Brook fight than a Spence fight. Way more. And Keith doesn't like it to the body and Spence kills the body. Add in we've seen Keith hurt by lighter hitting southpaws.

It's an interesting dynamic. I think Brook is the worst matchup for Spence, I think Spence is the worst matchup for Thurman and I can't decide who is the worst matchup for Brook. But I have Spence over Brook.
