    I'm also impressed with age 26 Shawn Porter. I like his aggressive style.
    Porter looked good. Here's a fight I'd love next Spring.....

    Porter vs Guerrero

    It could be made. Porter would be fighting someone who recently fought Floyd Mayweather, and Guerrero would be fighting a Top 10 WW champ coming off a pretty big win, and would put him in line for big fights again.

        I don't really see anyone to be honest.

        There's lots of good fighters but I don't see anyone from America that can take over from Mayweather and emulate what he has.

            You don't think Mikey can dominate 130-140 potentially the way Ward has been dominating or the way Mayweather has??? I don't see anyone around those weight classes, so long as Mikey translates to those weights well, that I'd pick to beat him potentially.

                  That's pretty much how I feel. A lot of potentially good American fighters, but not one that has shown he'll carry the P4P mantle after Floyd retires.



                  I'm not sure if I'd call Mikey Garcia "American," pretty sure he'd identify himself as Mexican, Mexican-American at the least.

                    I think Crawford, Abril and Vasquez would beat him at 135, and I think he gets hit too much for 140, you really think he could beat Matthysse, Provo, Peterson etc?

                    He should be able to do well at 130 though, he has a lot of talent but I'm not fully sold on him, I want to see more.

Of course there's Danny Garcia who's already P4P Top 10 IMO, and Adrien Broner, as well as other young fighters like Andrade, Russell, and others. But I feel Mikey has the power and skill to win titles all the way to 140, maybe even higher eventually. I see Danny losing eventually, though he's a real good fighter obviously. Broner I also see losing. And the others are too young to tell.
                      I like Garcia, but he hasn't shown that he can fight on the inside and while he does have a pretty good guard he doesn't move his head or upper body as much as he should. Honestly, I'm extremely impressed with the guy who's unwilling to test himself and that's Gary Russell Jr
