      Porters a legit top 10 Welterweight. Losing close fights to Ugas, Thurman and Spence doesn't change that.

          I definitely get it.

            Was he shot before he almost beat Errol Spence, during the fight he almost beat Errol Spence in, or in the one shutout victory he’s had since the Spence fight?

            TIA idiots.
            Shawn Porter was SHOT the second he signed to fight Terrence Crawford

              This. I also think Porter's defense is underrated. It's not pretty or particularly artful, but a guy who fights like he does should take more damage than he does. He finds a way to avoid punishment while inflicting his own. Bud is my guy, Omaha born and bred right here.... but he's in for a fight.
              Bud should win. Especially with all the praise Bud does get. At the same time, he hasn’t fought anyone like Porter, or anyone as good I don’t think.

              But everything tells me that Bud should win a competitive fight.

                For me, a boxer's career is an accumulation, not what he did at one division, unless that's the only division that he fights in. I enjoyed being a Crawford fan over the years. Can't say the same about Porter. I dread his style. I've also always known Porter is a couple of levels below the elite level. Doesn't mean I hate him. He is who he is. He better not wrestle with Bud or headbutt him.

                  Bud is also one level above Spence, at Spence's best. IMO, there are now only two elite level African American boxers/fighters: Davis and Crawford.

                    I don't know if Davis is better than Spence. You should start a thread with voting

                      Spence is out of commission for now and I rated him at #3 even then. Davis, Crawford, Spence. I hope Errol is OK. If you disagree with my list, I respect your opinion. (I don't like starting threads. Don't wanna spend all my energy responding to people, defending anything. When people start threads, they have to attend to them. Nah.)
