Should Porter be the actual favorite going in? He has a way better resume,& not phantasy resume of hypotheticals like Bud

[kushking]

Crawford would likely be a 3/1 favorite. I actually think Crawford will be the 1st to stop Porter.

What makes you think Bud stops him when Spence couldn't who I thought everyone agrees hits harder? Its amazing to think how many excellent wws Porters faced already,he has basically literally fought everyone in this era who is considered elite. Its astonishing how lil credit ppl give him despite that fact.

U don't get credit for doing well as opponents and that's all Porter ever does. 3 of his 4 biggest fights he came up short and arguably lost to UGAS

[DaNeutral.]

What does that have to do? But no he was the heavy heavy underdog because he was washed as sht & had a glass face that shattered & was replaced with steel rebar & concrete puddy that crumbled to stress fractures when a strong wind is blowing...

Ahhh sorry I didn't realise you were the sanctioning medic for that fight. Sounds like you know what I was getting at by the very bitter defensive answer.

I've always felt Crawford is the bigger / better puncher than Spence. Yes, Spence is the bigger guy but I feel it's more of an accumulation thing where Crawford has fight altering power and it's worth noting he's got 7 consecutive stoppages. Sure, we can make arguments about the level of opposition but I guess the same argument can be said about Spence's KO's also coming against "lesser competition"? It's subjective until they get in there but from my perspective I see Crawford being the the bigger, more effective puncher.

As far as Porter is concerned he's always been really tough. I just see him walking into something recklessly with Crawford timing him perfect. Adrien Broner managed to drop Porter too late in their fight. I can't see at all where Porter's not dropped or hurt when he and Crawford fight, but we'll see.

I think Crawford is better than prime Brook, Thurman and Spence, these are the guys Porter lost to. Porter also arguably lost to Ugas. Sure, Porter is more war proven at 147, but he nearly always fails at top level.

I believe Crawford wins in competitive fight, the same as Jermall Charlo beat Derevyanchenko, even though Derevyanchenko was more war proven in tough fights.

We know one thing: Porter comes to fight and he’s not afraid to get physical and make it an ugly fight. Can he win? I’m not so sure but we haven’t seen Crawford really tested so it will be a different fight for him.
Im still not convinced it actually happens though. Too many hoops to jump through for a fight with not much value.

You can't use a resume to win a fight. I would not be surprised if Crawford stopped Porter and yes I know, Spence didn't stop him.

Spence barely even eked out a win, which was a surprise.

Porter is always game. Nobody had ever an easy time with him.
