Keith 'One Time' Thurman vs 'Showtime' Shawn Porter who wins?

Two young beasts in the loaded welterweight division who seem to have a very bright future ahead of them. I think this could be the next big rivalry at welterweight and then the 'Thomo' and 'Portard' nations will emerge. In case you didn't already know i'm team ONE TIME!

Who wins this one?

BQ: Who would have a better shot against Floyd Mayweather stylistically speaking?

    For all his newly acquired reputation Shawn Porter is never known to possess the one-punch KO power that the Thurmanator has which would be bad news for one who is noted for his physicality and pressure. Ironically the only way Porter can win is to apply pressure on Thurman the same strategy he used in beating Devon Alexander and Paulie Malignaggi. But though Alexander and Malignaggi are an inch taller than the 5'7" Porter they are smaller physically being blown-up welters compared Porter who was originally a junior middleweight fighter. Thurman is also only about an inch taller than Porter but he reminds me very much of Cobra Curry and The Hitman Hearns.

    Be reminded that Porter struggled twice against Julio Diaz who got blasted inside three rounds by Thurman in their last recent fight.

    I favor Thurman to win by KO/TKO over Porter.

    BQ: Thurman

    I like the way Thurman fights. He is very quick and has great power. There may be question marks surrounding his chin but That doesn't mean he's going to be KOd by anyone with power.

    I'd pick Thurman but UD or late stoppage

    BQ) Thurman

    Porter has beaten better opponents and Thurman got badly hurt by Soto Karass in round 1 of their fight. I think Porter knocks Thurman out due to his fragile chin.

    Thurman has yet to fight a great solid contender at middleweight. Soto-Karass was just a gatekeeper. I'd like to see him fight solid competition first.
