        Well Porter fought just about everybody, which is more than what you can say for these modern day "fighters".

        They on social media more than in the gym.

          Ha Floyd would make excuses to not fight Paulie's and Manny's competition in their primes.

          Couldn't even knockout the shopworn guys and c fighters he cherrypicked. What makes you think he doing any better with anybody else's comp.

Brook beat him clearly on the cards, which only adds to my frustration at the horrific decisions his management made with him. Porter winds up in wars because of his fighting style, even against guys like Granados.
              Well, that is what Porter is good at. But to do that a fighter has to be able to slip punches, and find a way to get to guys who are faster and more savy with their punches.

                he is still the best name on Crawford`s, Spence`s and Thurman`s resume. Spence hardly beat him.

                  i meant, they both have similar style in terms of having great stamina and using it to their benefit.. if you look at how porter fights, it's the same energy as bradley.. high pace pressure throws a lot of punches, wild at times, not afraid to get into a brawl, etc.

                    I do agree with that.

                      Mayweather had similar power to Malignaggi at 147.

                      Mayweather: 12 bouts, 3 KO’s

                      Malignaggi: 13 bouts, 2 KO’s
                      It wasn't useless against Paulie. He walked through him. He also stopped Berto? I may be wrong/too lazy to look it up.
