Based on what? Porter has actually fought and beaten top competition. Benavidez's resume consists of razor thin wins over Herrera and Santana, + what happened yesterday. His output isn't high enough to compete with Porter, he would get outworked and beaten up. He doesn't even have the power to discourage Porter so it's just another day at the office for Showtime.
Exactly, people dont realize styles make fights! Bob knows what he is doing. We will see Danny vs Bud next year, mark my words. Bob knows Bud can take garcia now.
I mentioned this in another thread. Danny will have to wait in line for rematches with Thurman amd Porter. He may look to Crawford as the shortest distance to another title shot. His win over Bud in the amateurs helps to add some intrigue to the fight.
Yeah I agree. Stood Straight up. dragging that bum leg around. He looked like he been shot and shouldn't be fighting. Not with top guys at least.
The leg certainly bothered him, especially as the fight went on.
But I thought he fought decently everything considered. He was landing his jab very well, and was able to land in general in this fight at reasonable percentage.
His main issues were the leg, stamina issues in the second half of the fight, lack of volume punching and of course, Crawford upping his level after a slow start.
Jose honestly probably would be a World Champion if he didn't get shot in that Knee, it is really unfortunate his career was ruined like that but I think if he moves up he would be better off instead of fighting smaller quicker guys at 147 when he clearly can't move as well as he use to sadly
... yes... in fact he barely uses his back foot...
Have u seen the Julio Diaz fight? And i am not on anything illegal!
That fight was five years ago. I didn't ask you if you were on anything illegal, I asked if you were high.
I'll voice others and say that if Benavidez had his mobility back (probably won't) he'd beat a lot of guys and the Crawford fight would have been super competitive.
Also, not sure why people always count out Porter against counter punchers like it's his achilles heel. Porter is better than given credit for and it's not necessarily "counter punching" that troubles him.
Benavidez is ****, the hell you guys were watching? Was somebody really impressed with anything he did tonight? What was it exactly, shaking his head all the time that has won you over tonight? He's terrible.
Crawford dominated him in every aspect of the fight and was never in any danger.

At 100% I think Jose Benavidez would of came out on top after all the dust settled in the entire welterweight division , the young phenom had all the tools.
Much Respect to Jose Benavidez!
He can box, hes more of a 1 trick pony but i believe his style would convincingly be porter

I've been watching him for years. We used to train at the same gym. His movement isn't the same.
No arguements after this brother! Ive based my assessments ofc his herrera fight, he did a lot of the covering up in that fight and thought he was just a counter puncher.
U think so? I dont think his knee was as big of a problem as people come to believe. He just has 1 style and that style would be tough for porter, hence the Julio Diaz fight.

I dont think the knee held him up. Hes strictly a counter puncher, he just needs some1 to come forward to look good.
Completely disagree, clearly had ZERO Lateral Movement abilities and not much Back and Forth Movement either so he had to just Cover Up at times. Also was baiting Crawford to COME TO HIM, clearly the leg is not the same and that is not to discredit Crawford either

Quit listening to the announcers Szef!
Im so glad Ledermans gone!!
If his knee were healthy, quite possibly. Porter is a bit overrated. The guy can't box, just bully. I think thsi would be a great fight. Hope to see Benavidez healthy and getting some more high profile fights soon.
