Shawn Porter v Amir Khan

what is porters height and reach? from what i have seen Khan always fairs well against smaller guys soon as he faces a boxer his own height see Diaz, Prescott, Lemont, Garcia, it becomes a dog fight The height advantage against smaller men allows him to keep his distance and pop that jab, Maidana, Zab are examples. I always favour Khan against much smaller men While your right(in a way),I think it's the style and the fact that Porter is a real WW..He makes for ugly fights..A few reasons I'd pick Bradley to beat Khan,are some of the same reasons I can see Porter giving Khan a hard time.. Porter is not as good as Bradley,but he does have a way of fighting that would give Khan a lot of trouble..Very good head and body movement,a nice inside game..Most important in this fight,his foot speed..I can see Khan winning this fight..I doubt it will be easy tho..

You talk as if Belts matter to Floyd, if belts mattered Floyd would have fought Porter, or Pualie a few fights ago. Sorry Floyd by his own admission has said belts mean nothing to him. Belts mean something to the mass public. Fighters that have one have more credibility in their eyes. Being on a Floyd undercard brings a lot of exposure. The best thing for increasing Amir Khan's notoriety among the casuals is to have them tune in to the Mayweather-Maidana ppv and see him beating someone for a world title.

Porter by come-from-behind-KO

Khan would've been worthy if he just beat Alexander.....but now he's going to have to beat Porter which is a much harder fight than Alexander to be considered worthy....smart move Amir....smart move.

Porter sneaks in an inside hook. Night night Khan.

Porter gets inside on Khan and outworks him. Clear UD or possible late stoppage. Good fight though and if AK actually wins, would be an actual worthy opponent to Floyd.

Khan-Porter winner gets Floyd. I'd think Porter wins it too....and then I can finally cheer against Floyd in a fight...I'd love it.

Broner was undefeated and had the WBA belt when Maidana beat him. That's why that was such a big win. If Khan fights Broner now none of those things apply. Picking up the IBF belt on the other hand gives him a bargaining chip. The winner of Floyd/Maidana would have the WBC and WBA belts and could then have a massive unification with Khan. Broner is still a name, Khan beats him its still a name on his resume and if he beats him in style, TKO or total one sided domination, its a good win and puts Khan right back in the game You talk as if Belts matter to Floyd, if belts mattered Floyd would have fought Porter, or Pualie a few fights ago. Sorry Floyd by his own admission has said belts mean nothing to him. Khan needs a win over a name The Ghost would be a name, and a measuring stick to see how Khan does against him compared to how Floyd did. Porter does nothing for Khan right now Put it this way on the undercard if Floyd vs Maidana, which fight looks more appealing to the mass public Port Vs Khan or Broner Vs Khan? The answer is simple Broner vs Khan, and u'd be lying to urself if u stated otherwise Khan beats Porter, he gets a title, but Floyd again will say "sorry khan. i'm fighting danny garcia next" Khan needs to take out baby bro and get his name buzzin again

Titles mean **** Porter still isnt a name, Broner is and as we can see Madaina is about to earn a shot simply by facing Broner Broner was undefeated and had the WBA belt when Maidana beat him.

I got Khan in this fight!

This whole Khan debacle has brought the worst out of you man. It sucks because you are usually pretty rational but on this? Your bias is unrelenting. Porter gets Khan the IBF title and a win over an undefeated fighter that WILL get him a Floyd bout next. Come on man since when has Floyd ever gave a **** about titles, he's willing to drop his rather than fight Pac...and that came from his own mouth "i dont care about titles" Floyd takes on boxers with high profiles, Khan needs a high profile win, Broner or The Ghost at WW He beats Porter, they'll say he beat a unproven guy, - yes Porter beat Devon, but he is still a unknown entity. Porter vs Khan benefits Porter more than Khan, where as Broner vs Khan benefits both equally, kind of a make or break fight.

Porter is the IBF world welterweight champion. Getting that belt would make Khan a more attractive option for Mayweather and people would take Amir more seriously than they do now. Shawn Porter did look awfully strong against Devon Alexander though so I can see why you want Khan to steer clear. The Brit could very easily end up getting KTFO. Titles mean **** Porter still isnt a name, Broner is and as we can see Madaina is about to earn a shot simply by facing Broner Had Madiana beat Porter, he would not get a Floyd fight Porter looks good mod def and i wud luv to see Khan fight him, unlike u, i dont "protect" boxers who i am a fan of, i rather see a good fight. If Khan wants Floyd he needs a name Broner, Ghost, rematch Garcia...Porter will be a good win on his resume, but at the end of the day in reality to the general public it will not mean **** sadly "khan beat who? never heard of him,", Broner is Khans best way forwards or the Ghost,

Khan vs Broner makes more sense Broner is Floyds gatekeeper Porter will get Khan nothing This whole Khan debacle has brought the worst out of you man. It sucks because you are usually pretty rational but on this? Your bias is unrelenting. Porter gets Khan the IBF title and a win over an undefeated fighter that WILL get him a Floyd bout next.

Porter's a very solid all-rounder. Can't see many beating him.

I have seen nothing of Khan to suggest that Porter would be easy work for him..in fact,I've seen the exact opposite.. what is porters height and reach? from what i have seen Khan always fairs well against smaller guys soon as he faces a boxer his own height see Diaz, Prescott, Lemont, Garcia, it becomes a dog fight The height advantage against smaller men allows him to keep his distance and pop that jab, Maidana, Zab are examples. I always favour Khan against much smaller men

I think Khan makes easy work of Porter. UD. I have seen nothing of Khan to suggest that Porter would be easy work for him..in fact,I've seen the exact opposite..

This is a good fight, and I wouldn't mind the winner getting Floyd. I'm gonna go with Porter on this one.

Khan by decision... People just will put anyone over Khan anyone with a pulse has a chance. look at ur sig, ur actually betting on ricky burns to beat crawford, and khan to beat mayweather. i think u overestimating ur UK fighters

It literally just hit me that they are going to unify the division. You have the winner of that bout vs the winner of Floyd/Maidana in September. That's 3 of the 4 belts. Then somehow someway get Bradley/Pac winner vs the winner of the September bout for all the marbles. And there you have it..thought i was the only one seeing this
