I dont like Porter's style. He bounces back and forth like he weighs 200 lbs and then telegraphs his punches....also, the last fight of his I watched was vs a Jr WW that they had move up 2 weight classes to fight and he looked horrible. Also, I think he needs to drop down to WW, he's not that tall. Its time for a step up in comp.

To say that Porter is not even in Henry's league is as ridiculous as saying Henry isn't even in Porter's league. Do you all listen to what you garble on here?

Shawn Porter is 15-0 and has fought 8 or 10 rounders in his past 5 fights. He has fought on national television 5 times. He had a storied amateur boxing career at 165 lbs and is currently coming down to 147 as a pro. That is scary. He carries power in both hands and has lightening fast hands. The critics that go after him for the Russell Jordan fight don't know or understand boxing. He won almost every round against Russell Jordan. Jordan was a awkward of a southpaw that the young Porter could have been in the ring with. Not to mention the 22 y/o Porter handling the pressure of carrying a nationally televised show at home in Cleveland.

Henry still has not graduated from 6 rounders. He has not faced the pressure and scrutiny of being the main event on national tv. I think Henry is a tremendous prospect with a tremendous upside. But I also think that Porter and Henry are at 2 completely different places in their respective careers at this point.
