    I never rated Porter super highly. Tough, game fighter. He was the american version of Derek Chisora, but slightly more sophisticated.

    He has had a great career, and maximized his talent.

    Porter most likely would of had some comfort if he went the distance. He was not knocked out, so I can actually understand why he probably feels insulted.

        There's got to be a level of speculation with this one. No one really knows what's going on between Shawn and Kenny. If there is a rift, hopefully they fix it. They're family after all. Also, Porter's retirement feels premature so I feel like a comeback wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility. But it would be risky considering he's lost some of his biggest fights. Would hate for him to come back only to be a stepping stone to a younger fighter.

          Look at Porters smile. The teeth don’t lie.

            I think what Derrick was saying is spot on about them having a power struggle. I never liked Kenny Porter.
            I completely agree with you for once dude. Kenny treated Shawn like sh**. He’s an unqualified trainer who rode his talented son’s coattails.

              Good fighters Chisora beat:
              (nobody)

              World titlists Porter beat:
              Julio Diaz
              Devon Alexander
              Paulie Malinaggi
              Adrien Broner
              Andre Berto
              Danny Garcia
              Yordenis Ugas (arguably lost this one)

              You Brits and your Chisora love, man.

              Chisora isn't even worthy of being the gum on the bottom of Porter's shoe. He's literally 0-12 in his career against fighters with a pulse. Porter was 7-4-1 against world titlists alone, to say nothing of all the ranked contenders he beat (Chisora never beat a ranked fighter).
