    I was thinking how that could be a huge advantage also.

      I dont really have a view of either in comparison to be honest. Both have great upsides, both bring really solid aspects to the dance, and both are about even in terms of progress

      I like both guys equally for various reasons

      and Shawn isn't "with" Roach per se his father still is the lead trainer. They moved out to LA to train at WC and to get better sparring but Kenny is still Shawn's lead trainer.

        I think by the time Omar becomes gets to a championship level, he'll be at Middleweight.

        Dude is a real big JMW.

          its not. i've seen both fighters since that camp. henry looked more impressive.
          i dont like porter's footwork. he does way too much bouncing, even bouncing when he's in his opponents' punching range. his style is a bit spastic and he often gets off balance lunging in with shots and missing wildly.
          henry's more composed and fights like a cold blooded killer with very little wasted movement.

            yep

            Omar is a big dude while Shawn is small in stature but built like a tank

              Sparring everyday with top fighters adds something to your experience and makes you a better fighter. Working with the best trainers makes you better. If you played basketball with Micheal Jordan everyday for 2 months as oppose to playing with me, you would develop to be a better basketball player. Experience man.

                Honestly, regardless of the fact I get on well with Shawn and I'm a fan of his, I think he beats Omar right now. No bias, I'm trying to be honest. Omar is an excellent prospect but for me Shawn edges it in terms of talent.

                  I really don't like Henry's footwork at this point. And he tends to lean forward exposing himself to uppercuts similar to the way Cotto does. But he does still have time to learn.

                    Porter is a pretty big (but short) dude. He fought at SMW (165+) for his pro debut, and for his fight against Brandon Wooten last June he came in at 161½.

                      omar henry seems to be overly aggressive
                      wonder how his chin would hold up against the pin point accurate hammers of porter
