Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter Retires From Boxing After Loss To Crawford

[Griever0730]

Not surprised. He's 34, fought every possible big name he could, won some and lost some, made big bread, still making bread with his cushy commentating job at PBC and doing a great job at it. Man put in heavy work. May he enjoy his retirement.

Porter still had the energy to fight

dude still had his senses

reaction upon being knocked down the 2nd time punches the canvas out of frustration

Y’all can’t see this is Shawn retaliating after his Dad punished him by stopping the fight and humiliating him? I don’t know if he’ll be back but this is all about Father/Son issues.

Nothing left to do except almost everything.

Never been Lineal Champ, never beat a Top 3 ranked fighter, never won titles in 2 weight classes, never been on the P4P list.

Porter’s a decent fighter, nothing special. Not accomplished much in the sport.

he made millions of dollars and achieved something only a very small percentage of boxers ever do, become a world champion. Disrespectful much?

An honest fighter. One of the good guys in this sport. Took every challenge and fought his ass off. Great career. Godspeed Champion.

Wow! Terence 'P4P' Crawford not only knocked-out 'Showtime' Shawn Porter, but also retired him. Its worth noting that Porter also acknowledged that TBC is greatest that hes ever fought. What a statement that 'BUD' Terence Crawford sent to the PBC brand, Al Haymon and Errol Spence jr. and all the haters were owned tonight.

A statement? In all honesty you believe it was more impressive than ESJ? Bud is nice but I'll lean Spence still. That stoppage was suspect and Bud was hurt. Look like a friend gave his buddy a gift.

The fix was in. Crawford gets exposed badly and receives a charity stoppage on behalf of his friends the Porters keeping it the family so to say. Another Floyd vs Zab Judah fiasco. Can't ever trust these types of fighters, we saw it with Oscar vs Hopkins, Wilder vs Malik Scott, and now these two frauds. P4P my butt, that belongs to Usyk, Canelo, Inoue, GGG, Fury and Josh Taylor right now.

Facts. That looked like some entitlement the likes of Oscar taking a dive to Hopkins or Malik Scott for Wilder. Shady con artists. Crawford is the most overrated fighter and most protected since Andre Ward.

All these morons saying the stoppage was suspect are probably the same dummies that think Canelo's stoppages are real.

SHEEP

His dad saved him from a career ending beating, he has plenty of fight to go to 154. There has been lesser champs at 154 in the recent past. Retiring after this is pure emotion. He could easily take a couple stay busy fights above 147 and hope the belts vacate at 154 by 2023. Again pure emotion.
