Where did Porter's power go after he KO'd Malignaggi?

I don't think Porter was always clean to be honest.

IMO Porter's power coming and going in such fashion is far worse than the whole debate about Manny's power, I can literally form a logical argument for Manny's lack of KO's or whatever even though I'm neutral on the guy even was going in to the Floyd vs Manny fight.

and you base that on what?? Paulie is tough as nails I conceded that in my following post. Way to pick and choose Larry...

Paulie accused him of juicing and boom..he hasnt looked like that again

You don't need that much power to KO Paulie. and you base that on what?? Paulie is tough as nails

He ran into Kell Brook. That's what happened.

Interesting that we have never seen Collazo -Malignaggi..

This is probably one of the strangest cases of missing power I have ever seen in such a short period of time. He went from a mini Mike Tyson to what a NFL player turned boxer would look like. Thoughts? read my mind, was going to make the exact same thread, porter was on them peds:dunce:

Malignaggi is tailor made for Porter...pulls back alot with small steps and is not really that fast with his feet...paulie is better when circling you while throwing jabs.....if you beat him to the jab and make him go straight back, he is a sitting duck, and if you have quicker feet than him, you pounce and punch once you've made him do the step back..this is how Hatton, Khan and Porter destroyed him.

It was all stylistically beneficial for Porter. Put him again versus Paulie and he will repeat the performance.

Some of those leaping hooks Porter had against Paulie were really incredible, though.

He fought better oppositions. Really all there is to it.

paulie was done, porter stepped up in comp so it didn't look so easy, broner has a chin as well. porter aint leaping in like that against a puncher

He had absolutely no fear/worry of being hit with something, so he felt comfortable leaping in. Paulie has zero power and, for a good number of years now, his pop and speed are gone too. His jab used to have enough behind it to keep guys honest, not anymore. Porter just ran in and swarmed him. Garcia could have done the same thing but played it safe and took his time.

Malignaggi has lost every time he's stepped up. He lost to Hatton, Cotto, Khan, and Porter.

he still has the same amount of power, thing with porter is he isnt the most skillfull puncher. he tends to throw wide punches with minimal set up. he really just relied on his athletic ability and toughness for most of his career but at the highest level thats not enough. i think a big part of it is he has been fighting bigger punchers himself. against paulie he could keep swinging those big shots and just maul and overwhelm him without any consequenses for being overly aggressive. against brook, thurman and broner he couldnt do that. you could tell they all felt his power, but they could all make him feel their power right back and porter had to scale down the aggression. which was always what got guys out of there more so than sheer power, that pitbull style of fighting he employed earlier in his career. without that tornado like onslaught his opponents can see his punches coming since as mentioned he isnt all that adept at setting up and delivering power punches in a crisp and thoughtful manner.

lol what are you trying to suggest? is the real question. Cause if you just look at his boxrec you can clearly tell that as soon as he stepped up just ever so slightly he wasnt KO'ing anybody anymore. Hell before paulie he hasnt had a KO since 2011 You know what he trying to say. Boxingscene always do this stuff to anyone associated with Haymon or Floyd.

Why yall be making stupid threads. Didn't he have a KO after Malignaggi?

Shawn Porter has still got serious punching power! he just needs the correct opponent to show case it! Shawn Porter as a fighter could achieve allot more, if he learned how to implement straight punches into his fighting style more often. At elite level, you need to have a immense amount of variation in your shot selection, otherwise certain fighters will quickly decode your strategy. Just look at James Degale's fight up against Badou Jack? Degale for all of his awkwardness and skills, is a very poor fighter when it comes to throwing straight punches...... Which is very strange, because usually straight punching technique is a fighting trait of a good amateur boxer!

yeah, Cano brutally floored him in the 11th. Paulie got a gift decission that night. Yeah Cano won that fight I thought. And clearly. That was the definition of a gift decision.
