And if Shawn is so much better than Omar why did Pacquaio and Roach want Omar as the chief sparring partner instead of Shawn at first before Henry turned them down thank you my point exactly Omar is better.
    Maybe because Henry could emulate Cotto better than Porter? I'm not saying Henry is better than Porter or vice versa, but you would think Henry would be an ideal choice.

      I can respect that point.

        i really like both but i think i'll go with omar henry. he hits just as hard as shawn but i think hes got a tighter style. he keeps his hands up, has better footwork and has better balance.

        i think shawn should at least try to make 147.

          I totally agree with your statement then on top of all that he is very short for that weight class hes like 5'5 or 5'6 he should def go down to 147. The taller guys in the weight class will pick him off like andre dirrell did to short curtis stevens great point Siggy.

            Yeah, I definitely think Omar is the better 154 pounder. 147 will probably be better suited for Porter at this point.

              you should also keep your eyes out for two other guys Dominic Wade and Lenard Lane who could also make noise at 147 and 154

                Omar Henry all the way. Omar has better speed and keeps his hands up with a very good form.

                  But what about Henry and Porter at this point?

                    Porter does seem to get overly aggressive at times.

                      Porter. That training camp with Manny and being with Roach gives him a huge advantage in experience and confidence.
