Porters on the verge of ATGreatness. Why is he still called a gatekeeper,bum,etc.?

[kushking]

If Porter beats Bud will you all still treat him like a scrub? I recently said Porter has a atg ww resume for this era.(all his losses were debateable at least) &pl were like

Porter would be a handful for most atg wws,(not saying he'd win,but hes never been blown out by anyone & hes a stocky lil bobcat bulldozer.)

& hes faced the best who Bud would be blown for fighting by espn/msm.( with banana flavored lipbalm,you know its true)

If Porter beats Bud & is a gatekeeper,then that means Buds a hypejob ww?

He beat Crawford

Get a pac fight when pac beats spence

Porter could rough up pac

Similar to horn fight except a legit win with actual punches not headbutts and rabbit punches

[GrandpaBernard]

Porter might just be very good

great is a stretch

Yes, if Porter beats Crawford then it will look like he was being protected.

Crawford therefore has a higher expectation in this fight - I want to see him wreck Porter which I think he will. It can't be a close fight or the typical Shawn Porter fight, or like David B or Mean MAchine....I would like it to be more like TC/Horn where Crawford is barely touched against a guy who may try to bulldoze ...I think it should be a high standard for TC here. If he beats Porter is close fight where his eye is all puffed up and Porter comes out as the people's winner then that's a big setback to me.

Some of the arguments against his resume are legit but, in the ring, I really don't have that many doubts about how he matches up with the rest (he has his flaws too of course). This will be good to reaffirm that - otherwise, well then the detractors were always onto something.

Verge of all time great? He's 1-3 in his biggest fights and don't have enough good to great wins at all.

What is happening here? Lol

[BodyBagz]

People toss around ATG crowns like stale Halloween candy.

If Porter beats Bud and is considered an ATG, then everyone is.

[Ganondorf]

People are ret@rd3d bro. Porter is a soldier.

Exactly

winning over the best fighters make you ATG

some dudes will even mention names a fighter suffered a bad loss to when chatting resumes what the hell

[ShaneMosleySr]

Shawn Porter is 5-3 in title fights.

He’s a bad decision win over Ugas from being .500 in title fight.

ATG?

LOL.

[LeOoze]

Porter is NOWHERE near ATG.
