    Nobody stopped Porter so far and punished him like that.

    Does beating Garcia and Porter on points really make Spence such a great welterweight?

      I think TC has the best all around skills at 147 but he still may not beat Spence. You can't give away rounds to guys like Spence early cause you may not be able to break him down and stop him late. Will be a heck of a fight though, I think it happens by year end 2022

        Spence will flip his car again to continue ducking Crawford.

          Right. Porter even said it was a more difficult fight, because Crawford would not let him go chest to chest and just swing wild. People don't understand Porter expended more energy the way he fought Crawford than the way he fought Spence. He could never relax against Crawford. It was a chess match full of feints. When he finally did start to get reckless and charge like he is accustomed to doing look what happened.

              You can’t do that. Crawford beat an older on his way out retiring Porter

              those other guys beat a prime Porter

              nit the same measuring stick

                It’s hard to say. I mean Kell Brook took his 0 when Porter was flying high and massively hyped. Maybe that was a better version of Porter. Then again, Brook was no joke before he went to 160 to fight GGG. It ruined his career, robbed the 147 division of another excellent fighter in the mix

                Spence also got a slightly fresher Porter, Thurman even fresher .

                Anyway, I do think Crawford is the best at 147. I’d make him favourite over anybody but that’s not based on the Porter fight. There’s too many factors to make direct comparisons to fights in the past.

                I’d also pick Bud to beat anyone at 154.

                    Let`s not rewrite history. Porter decided to retire AFTER he lost to Crawford.
