Am Just Not Impressed With Shawn Porter!

[.Paulie.]

I just feel people tend to overrate him to a certain extent.

Althought Russel Jordan was a tricky opponenet, I was expecting him to be more impressive that he was. Getting a pretty lacluster decision win.

I often hear him called the future etc. And I just don't see it. I have also seen him struggle in sparring with Jose Benvaldez, and he was caught with some eye catching shots against a 17 year old Lightweight.

I have also seen him struggle in some amatuer bouts, do he was a great amatuer.

I just feel there are much better prospects out there than him. And I have my douts wheter he will win a world title never mind being the future of Boxing.

He seems like a nice guy, so nothing against him. Just stating my opinion.

And I feel people just boast him up, due to him posting on here.

I can't help feel he is very overrated!

[P.WILL]

I'll admit I haven't seen any of his fights just some highlights because I've been to lazy to look him up but some cats were talking about him beating James Kirkland.

[βetamax]

I think he's being a tad overrated. I saw something in his last fight even though he scored an impressive knockout that, well, didn't really impress me...at least as far him being an a future elite fighter.

Jordan was obviously an akward opponent with a 7" height advantage so I'll give him a pass to an extent but we'll have to see how he does against other step up opponents who are more "normal".

[El Castigador]

I like him hes a good prospect. Hes a good fighter but B-Scene members overrate him because he posts here. Rather then letting kid grow and mature in his fights.

[.Paulie.]

So am not on my own then.

And saying he is a better prospect or would beat Kirkland, is insane.

If Kirkland wasn't a loose cannon, he would be a world champ by now. That man had some raw talent and power.

Hope's his best days arent behind him now.

Paulie.

I agree with you. I was more impressed with that dude Lane. That opened up the show.

[Jim Jeffries]

Against a 7 inch taller southpaw this early in his career, he's bound to look bad.

Shawn is 22 years old, I'm sure he'll learn from this fight and improve. He's got at least 3 or 4 years before he'd be a serious contender, I think people are being a little too harsh on him.

[YoungJab]

porters only 22.. the guy above stated it spot on

[TRUCKIN]

No bull**** porter sucks

[Check]

Porters got skills, but I don't rate him in the top 10 for American prospects and don't see him being a world champion. He is just too damn stocky for 154 and the way he is built going to 147 would be difficult. If he had great power he could over come this but he doesn't.
