If heavier punchers like Thurman and Spence couldn't stop Porter....

[Fists_of_Fury]

It isn't about power tbh, if Porter gets stopped, it'll be due to Crawfords timing. Porter style makes him susceptible for him to get caught coming in. Will Crawford time him with a shot that Porter doesn't see coming? We will have to see

Power doesnt solely produce knockouts, speed and timing is equally, if not more dangerous.

For example, look at Kell Brook. We all know that Spence and GGG hit harder than Crawford. But, Kell got caught from a timed shot by Crawford that hurt him way way worse than anything Spence and GGG did.

Brook being a washed up and weight drained shell of himself surely had nothing to do with it . Having both eye sockets busted previously also didn't have anything to do with him getting hurt easier .

Maybe because Porter is older now and a part time fighter. Lol

Wait people actually think Crawford punch for punch hits harder than Thurman?

[Boxfan83]

Crawford sets up great traps. Hes going to pull Porter in with a high guard and "****!"

[sicko]

If he stops Porter that would be extremely impressive and he should get all the credit in the world with NO EXCUSES!

Porter Punch Resistance is really good because he fought in the Amateurs at Middleweight which I think is 75kg (165 lbs) and as a pro he is fighting at 147. Also Shawn frame is that of a NFL Running Back so he has the Frame for Impact

So yeah if Crawford stops him it would be Extremely Impressive because Shawn has shown a great Chin his entire Career.

I got Crawford by decision but I agree with your points. Crawford definitely hits harder than Thurman- who isn’t a puncher whatsoever IMO. The moment his competition stepped up he didn’t stop anybody.

I feel like Spence is the heavier hitter but Crawford is the snappier and more explosive puncher. I’d say it close between them two.

I'm sorry, I still think Thurman is the harder pincer. He is the only fighter to hurt Shawn (twice)

Crawford's punches have shock value. They are lightning quick, high velocity punches that catch opponents by surprise.

Plus, I don't think Thurman or Spence are really harder punchers.

[Dodger07]

Why is Crawford being favoured by stoppage or KO? I see a lot of people saying he stops Porter and I don't understand why?

People are picking Crawford to score the KO not because of his power per se. He just has the perceived boxing ability to land punches that neither Thurman or Spence were able to land on Porter. His speed and counter punching is seen as superior to both of them so he'd probably land cleaner punches than they did with greater regularity

I’ve just never rated Thurman’s power tbh. I mean who’s the best guy he’s stopped?

He couldn’t put a dent in Jan Zaveck, Lopez went the distance, so did Bundu.

“One Time” is a f***ing myth IMO.

Fair enough.

Maidana vs Khan and Danny Garcia vs Khan

Maidana has more power than Garcia, but Garcia was able to flat line Khan due to timing a bolo left hook when Khan came in lol its not always about power. If you could punch somewhat hard, then all you need is to time someone with a proper shot and get them out of there

Not saying Crawford could knock out Shawn though. I wouldn't bet on that. Just saying that Crawford doesn't need to hit harder than Thurman or Spence to catch Shawn cold while he's leaning in
