Pac vs Porter

I like Porter quite a bit but he's still a little untested. He beat Paulie, yes but it's not like he had to overcome a lot to win. His other big win is Alexander but those two don't make you ready for the big guys. He'll get there I believe, but he's not there yet.

Why would Pac fight this kid !!! It's not worth it !!! It's called Prize fighting for a reason !!!

You sure? I swear I saw a video of him saying he hasn't got an exclusive contract with GBP recently. I could be wrong though... All the articles since the fight last weekend have stated that Schaefer was Porter's promoter. There was even a video where Schaefer said he wanted Porter's next fight to be in Vegas. Schaefer discussed the idea of Porter vs. Mayweather too. Maybe it's a co-promotion or something like that.

First 5 rounds for pac would be dangerous but after that I see pac's experience and conditioning taking over.

Is it confirmed hes with Haymon? I saw a interview he did right before the Malinaggi fight and he said he was a free agent. I want him to get a payday and they both have belts. In a perfect world, the winner of Pacquiao-Porter fights the winner of Floyd-Maidana Oh haha you saw the interview as well? I wasn't mistaken then!

Porter's a solid all-round fighter, I've been saying for a while that only a few at WW can beat him. He's got a great chin, decent power, good foot speed and underrated boxing ability. People are getting carried away with his performance against Pauli though, he won't fight like that very often. The guy is a skilled pressure fighter and not the big-punching monster he's being made out to be.

Don't let his size fool you. He's not gonna put the same TYPE of pressure that gives Pacquiao fits, and that's that sneaky, squirrely pressure with angles and craft. That bulldog style pressure is only going to make Pac look phenomenal.

I am checking his most recent fights now to see what you said is true. Watch the Gomez fight, and the 1st Diaz fight. When you offer some punch resistance, he tends to bounce around, but not do much, and also back pedals to get his wind back, and his composure. He's obviously improved since then, but I still think he'd have cardio issues with a guy like Pac. And I still think if Pac were to give him a few good shots, he'd resort back to non active, and back pedaling nature when he doesn't like the shots coming at him. Remember, Porter doesn't deliver his offense in the same sneaky manner that a Bradley can. And he doesn't have the same off beat rhythym that Bradley has. He's more of a "I'm coming straight for you, and let's see who can outlast who" type of guy. He's very point A to point B for a guy like Pac. I'm telling you, if they fought, Pac would have an easier time with him than he did with Cotto.

No way Pac should entertain the notion of this fight...it's high risk low reward and Manny is to the point he cannot lose again. Bradley lifted him off the canvas, imagine Porter's big ass throwing punches with alot of power on them...if Manny was moving and punching at those angles he used to be capable of it would be a better match up but if he fought him like he did Bradley it could be a huge problem and not alot of money to show for it.

I'm a fan of Porter but his power is being greatly overrated. He's not a big puncher. The reason he looked so powerful against Pauli is because he knew he could just bulldoze through Pauli without the risk of being hurt, Pauli obviously doesn't have the power to keep people off him. Porter's got respectable power, nothing more. Against Pac, he'd be a lot more cautious and look completely different.

I don't know. I see a guy that would literally give his head to Pac on a silver platter. Don't forget, when Porter doesn't like the shots coming back at him, he's not the terminator anymore, and he starts to back pedal a whole heck of a lot. Kind of why I love this fight for Pac. Porter would be game throughout, but it would make Pac look spectacular against a hot young kid that would give mostly everyone else trouble. Huge feather under his cap. I am checking his most recent fights now to see what you said is true.

He's not with GBP, but Haymon-Arum might no go so well, plus the HBO/Showtime. Porter wants the fight, I'm sure Haymon would allow Porter to fight Pacquiao, at this point though looking at it from Pacquiao's perspective - not a fight I want to take. Pacquiao already fought Bradley and didn't get much hype, what Pacquiao needs is a fight with Canelo. He needs to beat Canelo to get that HYPE back. Fair points. But I think they can find a way around the HBO/Showtime thing as long as there isn't a promotional barrier. Porter recently said he'd like a fight with Marquez, so he must think that's a realistic fight that can be made, if so, I don't see why a Pac fight isn't realistic either. But yes, fighting a big 'name' would certainly benefit Pac more.

Could be very interesting match. I see possibly Porter KO Pacquiao. I don't know. I see a guy that would literally give his head to Pac on a silver platter. Don't forget, when Porter doesn't like the shots coming back at him, he's not the terminator anymore, and he starts to back pedal a whole heck of a lot. Kind of why I love this fight for Pac. Porter would be game throughout, but it would make Pac look spectacular against a hot young kid that would give mostly everyone else trouble. Huge feather under his cap.

I'm pretty sure Porter hasn't got a contract with GBP, so I was wondering if he'd be open to fighting some of the Top Rank WWs. I'd love to see him fight Pac, it'd be such a good match-up stylistically. They used to spar so they must know eachother pretty well. Could be very interesting match. I see possibly Porter KO Pacquiao. Porter's (mini-Mike Tyson) style will do well close against Mayweather. BTW, Porter will rip a new arsehole on in Brook. There may be a new sheriff in town and his name is Porter?!

He is with Haymon, fight will never happen. But if it did, Porter dispenses of Pacquiao worse than he did Maliggnagi. Pacman doesn't have Paulies chin, he will get put to sleep bad, if Paulie who has an iron chin couldn't handle those punches how can Pacman?

Pac struggled with porter during sparring. With pacs wear and tear he will probably lose to porter. Maybe knocked out.

He's not with GBP, but Haymon-Arum might no go so well, plus the HBO/Showtime.

for sure its gonna be FOTY just like fraud and baldomir fight. oh wait... nevermind.

porters stock would drop because Pac would beat him
