At the start you wouldn't say he was overly gifted or skilled so what does his dad do? Takes him to be Pacquiao's chief sparring partner and you can tell some of that has rubbed off on his style. After sparring Pacquiao he's now in the Mayweather boxing gym getting sparring from some of the best talent in the world, all the while he stepped up his competition slowly but surely to the point he is now a legit world champion.
So many of the great fighters of yesteryear learnt from others in their stable, like Holmes and Ali. Porter is doing all the right things. Kell Brook who I would say was more talented than Porter is simply not getting the work than Shawn has gotten the past 4-5 years and is not improving as rapidly, right now Porter would be the favourite over Kell.
Who's he getting great sparring from in Mayweathers gym??? All of TMT fighters suck. I'll agree with u about him actually sparring Pacquiao but unless he's sparring Floyd, he's wasting his time in that gym.
A classic case of how a swarmer is supposed to deal with a feather-fisted jabber who has a non existent defense & gets hyped up to the hills.
Paulie couldn't keep a 70yr old lady off of him
Paulie himself is overrated. If he had power, listen man if he had power he'd still be an overachieving hugely basic boxer. WTF is supposed to be good about him? He has a 'decent' jab, that is it.
Same with Devon, exactly what he should be doing against a defensive fighter who can't keep him honest. Bumrush them!
I ain't impressed with the guy, he fought two very limited opponents who have severely flattered him.
He apparently beats Marquez, Manny, Floyd etc by K.O now
He couldn't even K.O Julio Diaz
To be fair, he's still improving. A lot of fighters have a Julio Diaz somewhere early in their career. People have gone overboard, but he's been impressive these last two fights.
He was supposed to be a stay busy fight for Devon, after all.

I found this funnier on second read.
I like Porter but he needs to train at wild card or at Robert Garcia's gym. Besides Floyd there is no talent to challenge him at the Mayweather gym.Dodger, I get it you are a Mikey. Hey Mikey is one hell of a fighter, one of the but but man, he is one ugly dude...please consider changing your picture of him with anything. I'll take a Rat's ass even.
He works with Conte, for all the Conte haters out there lol.
Shawn is that dude though his future looks really promising.
He works with Conte ...oh oh when there's smoke there's fire .

Porter is a real cool dude. I talked to him on Instagram before and told him I'd woop his ass in monopoly
He would probably spark Floyd out in 4-5 rounds IMHO

He didn't KO Pac. That's explains why we don't have 100 threads
The reason there isn't 100 threads is cause he's relatively unknown and how many people actually knew he worked with Conte?
But now the word needs to get out. This dude needs to be tested. But by who tho? Conte is associated with VADA and USADA hides Golden Boy's positive tests.

Yes, he's really in the Mayweather gym lately. He talks a bit about it here, and he lives in Vegas so it's convenient anyway you know.
I knew that because his Dad kept going on about "the little boy down the road" (Mayweather).

key is progress, Porter has progressed well and he has had a great team around I'm.
The moment Brook joined with hearns, they were too busy trying to position him as a star, rather than trying to work with him and develop a great talent.
Brook hasn't been looked after physically, too many injuries, too many low key bouts although Senchenko and Jones are not bad opponents but some 2-3 years ago, Brook was looking great, now he already looks like a has-been.
However, I do think, if he ups his game and brings his best, he can beat Porter but I'm just not sure if he has that fire anymore.
Wait wait wait! Hold the f*ck up!
Porter works with Conte and hangs out in the Mayweather gym? No wonder he's so f*cking strong and unstoppable. They need to test the man.
Oh hell no.
Conte worked with Berto who got caught dirty and worked with Ward who always refused to get tested even tho he said he supported random testing.

TS you had a good point till you mentioned that Mayweather gym has some of the best talent in the world.
The only thing they're talented at in there is taking PEDs.
