Now that it looks like Gavin has turned down the Bradley eliminator to go straight to a Brook fight, the IBF will likely order a Bradley vs Porter eliminator.
I know one's with TR and one's with Haymon, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they let this one go to purse bids and we get the fight. Fingers crossed.
Yes he does.this is a business.bradley is clearly the 3rd best welter on the planet and porter isnt top 10.he is 11th.he has to earn it.thats bradley taking a step back.it would be a good fight imo but that means squat.

No he doesn't. Bradley is not a box office boxing Kingpin that Porter has to "earn" a fight with. Both are ranked fighters in their division and the fight makes sense if they both want it.

The fight makes sense and there is no reason why it shouldn't happen if both want it.

Woah easy chief, it's debatable whether or not Bradley is the 3rd best welterweight, there's nothing clear about it. I would personally have Thurman and Brook above him. And Porter is most definitely a top 10 welterweight, I'd rank him between 6-8.
Bradley isn't some superstar you have to earn a shot at, he's a solid fighter who needs to be fighting whoever is put in front of him. The top 10 guys don't have to earn shots at eachother in general, I don't understand that kind of logic man. These guys just need to fight eachother, everyone in the top 10 proven and worthy of a shot at against else in the top 10.

Porter wins IMO, just a bigger, stronger more explosive version with power.
Wouldn't mind Bradley winning though just to see Kenny Porter cry again, can't stand the guy.
I got Porter as well, I think he's underrated. I don't think either guy hits hard enough to really hurt the other, I see it being an action packed 12 rounds with Porter outworking Tim in a real dog fight.
I like the Porters, especially Kenny lol :boxing:

If Bradley passes on this opportunity, Porter vs Chaves will be ordered, I think Bob would risk Chaves as there's not much to lose and a lot to gain (a shot at the IBF title).
If Porter decides to give it a pass, we'll get a Bradley vs Chaves rematch.
I read the IBF offered this eliminator to Porter. I don't see him turning it down.
Only question is if Haymon and Top Rank are willing to work together..and where would this fight be hosted..PBC or HBO?
seriously, that's a problem....
