Comments Thread For: Crawford On Porter Fight: It Means Putting That Extra Stamp On Being Considered The Best

[whollisboxing]

Losing a split decision is the same as a first round ko? How so? Your making no sense lol. Talking triangles when they box in the square circle.

I was being sarcastic in response to a post that said Porter is essentially a gatekeeper for losing to Brook, Thurman and Spence. I was pointing out that every loss isn’t the same.

The triangle theory is the idea that if fighter A loses to fighter B and fighter B loses to fighter C, fighter C will automatically beat fighter A. An example of it not working is Joe Frazier beating Muhammad Ali and losing to George Foreman, just to have Ali beat Foreman

I know what the triangle theory is, I'm just playing. I feel Brook and Porter are of the same level. So I wonder why, if Brook was considered a poor defence, then why is Porter such a great fight for Crawford. So either the Porter fight is being over hyped or Brook was not being given enough credit as a credible opponent. I'm gonna go with the latter, as Brook was clearly holding his own until he got clipped. And I think Porter gives Crawford plenty to think about. But I feel Crawford wins. Not because of any triangle theory. Just because he's better than both.

I agree that Crawford wins, and Shawn Porter has proven himself to be a tough out at worst against the elite so Bud would certainly prove a lot by beating him. Brook may not be at his peak any longer but he’s still a good fighter. Not as durable post-GGG but still skilled.

Yeah good points. And to be fair Brook was seen as damaged goods because of the eye, and it didn't have a bearing in the fight. Was a good clean stoppage. Brook is broken know though as a result. It took his last confidence. Shawn still has this last great chance, but I think Crawford will be too much. Should be a good entertaining fight though.

Agreed. Both guys are looking to break through in a sense. Shawn is looking to finally get over the hump while Crawford is looking to justify his p4p status.

Get our wack ass your PBitchC responses outta here, lmao. Bud is going to corner Spence after he beats the **** out of Porter and you PBC representatives won’t have **** to fall back on. Your comments are so PatheticBC that I hope you won’t ever have to mention Haymon and the PBC again. Mofos think that they’re the best WWs, lmfao….

Why do you get so upset?
