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

[removed]

I'll always remember Porter for getting schooled by Kell Brook.

Good fighter no doubt but ATG? Nope.

[BodyBagz]

Folks who call Porter a gatekeeper in today’s crop of Welterweights DKSAB.

Porter has reached his heights already. He's tough but basic.

[Combat Talk Radio]

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

Duran lost to the other 3 Kings. Decisively.

Porter has only lost to the cream of the crop in close, sometimes disputed finishes, never blown out, never knocked out.

Sounds like people are being hypocrites again, as per usual.

I want to know why Bud is considered great (can't wait to see people mentioning his pre WW shlt)

You know why, he "Beat The Man Who Beat The Man".

[JakeTheBoxer]

Very good yes, world class yes, ATG not.

Best wins: Danny, Berto, Broner, Alexander.

He actually lost to Ugas.

I like the guy, he is a true warrior.

Duran had a 33 year professional career in which he captured titles in four different weight classes, including undisputed and lineal championships.

He is one of two boxers to compete during five different decades.

He followed a 32 fight win streak with a 40 fight win streak.

And while you mention his losses, he did beat Ray Leonard.

You equate him to Shawn Porter?

LOL

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?

So an ATG is someone who is a 1-time WW champ (in a 4-5 "CHAMP" in each weight class era) who lost EVERY big fight in their career...? Yikes

Your standards are better suited for MMA. Please go to the UFC forums

Don’t forget that two posters in this thread have decided he’s just as good as Pernell Whitaker and Roberto Duran. LOL.

First of all he's a two-time champion. He held the two belts that Spence now holds.

You know who else was a two-time champion?

Winky Wright.

You know who else?

- Marvin Hagler.
