Comments Thread For: Porter: I Would Match Up Great With Adrien Broner

[PAC-BOY]

This is what I thought the moment Porter won the IBF crown, Broner v Porter makes perfect sense. Both men have a belt, both are young, similar build, both can hit hard, it's a real cross roads fight. Whoever wins instantly catapults himself into the upper echelon of the division.

This isn't to say Broner v Maidana is a foregone conclusion. Adrien is a terrific little fighter but Maidana is one of the toughest guys in the business right now. If Broner comes through here, this is a must have for 2014.

:qqq: solid post

DLH is damn near 6' tall homie. AB is a midget. And he's nowhere near as stout as guys short for their division like say Cotto at 40 and 47 or Canelo at 54 now. To me, Paulie is a small welterweight and looked bigger and physically stronger than AB.

Ok compare marquez and fedchenko then...same **** rite...and another thing about jones and ruiz...the heavyweivht division is an open weight class from 200-???pnds if the division were 7-9 pounds . Apart like the are now,excluding lhvy and cruiser,jones would not have fought ruiz for the heavyweifht title..thats just think thats what it would be if it wasnt an open weight class...

I got a better comparison. Compare the two fights spoken of in the article. AB and Porter are listed at the same height. Look at how much broader Porter's shoulders are. Look how much thicker Porter's chest and legs are. And Porter is merely a solid welterweight and looks at least a division larger than AB, if not more. So IMO to say AB looked like a middleweight against Demarco or was much larger is silly to me.

The obsession with fighter sizes has reached a new high. Maybe its the digital age but fighters have ALWAYS fought bigger men. Its not anything new yet some people like to treat it like every fight has to be against a guy the same exact size. This is not how boxing works. In nearly every matchup there is a smaller man.

That troll is verse and he's to much of a puszy to use his main account. Typical Floyd coward fan.

Shut yo punk ass, police ass, "trying to get you to make a death threat" b!tch ass up.

Isnt Broner moving up in weight in all these fights? Reading the posts i would think he is coming down from Light Heavyweight to fight guys who are much smaller.

Well porter was a junior middleweight who moved down,so he is a big fighter physically,broner looks big too,but ill agree with you that porter is bigger then broner...ima stick to my guns though demarco is taller but broner is more stocky so bodywise broner is bigger....agree to disagree

I think they're looking at AB's pics from when he was on tour.
