It surely won't happen if Brook wins.

Dunno. Spence would be a big victory. He'd take big confidence from that and would fancy a unification. I think Spence will probably beat Brook though.

Of course this is Boxing so that big unification fight in the Fall wouldn't take place until Fall 2020 so....

Pacquiao, Mayweather, Bradley & Crawford would all be better opponents than a Garcia rematch.

Mayweather is not an active fighter anymore and his name shouldn't be brought up anymore for potential big matches because he won't be fighting them.

Pacquiao would be bigger definitely, but he's basically on a semi-retirement tour at this point and doesn't seem too keen on fighting the best of the best anymore which I'd say at this stage of his career he's earned the right to.

Bradley definitely would be an interesting opponent as he's a better version of Porter to me who gave Thurman all he could handle. Haven't heard anything from Bradley about any matchup at all so yeah I'd like to see that one.

Crawford vs any of the Top Welterweights would be great. I figure he'll be invading the Welterweight division next year at some point.

Again it just seems Garcia vs Thurman 2 is the way to go. Neither has anything else on the table right now. The fight was close. No reason not to do it again unless Tim Bradley suddenly comes out of the woodwork calling out Thurman in the next week or two.

I think brook vs Thurman is a big fight but whatever the result of brook vs spence I get the feeling brooks time at 147 is limited

EVERY MAN AND THEIR DOG BELIEVE YOU LOST THAT FIGHT DANNY MAN UP

Keith Thurman won fair and square it's a no brainer.
If they want to do it again down the road then so be it but there was no doubt who won.

Porter vs Garcia would be good, assuming Porter gets by Berto, which is not a lock by any means.Why not Garcia vs Khan? I think Spence vs Brook winner should take on Thurman. Pac may fight Khan after Horn, so Khan needs a fight next.
