Porter vs Brook or Khan is cool with me. Winner fights Thurman. That winner gets Mayweather in May or September 2015.

Who did Brook beat to become the mandatory? I hope he backs out, so we can get Porter vs. Thurman this year.

Pfft, yeah right. Those bullshit gift decisions over Kotelnik and Matthysse, not to mention the atrocious Bailey fight (a WFOTY candidate) were all stains on him before and after the Maidana fight. Here's hoping Soto Karass finishes him off Berto-style.
