    But he wasn't wobbled like Brook was against a guy who can't punch. How is that reading too much into it? So because he stopped him shortly after that changes the fact that he was wobbled quite badly? What difference does that make?

    How can Jones punch? Because he rocked Brook? Who has Jones stopped or hurt to show you he can punch? Which LMW's that actually matter has he knocked out? He's only fought bums.

    Porter has "knocked out LMW's" aswell. Hell, Porter has knocked out Light Heavyweight! Porter on his pro debut knocked out a a LHW. Doesn't mean anything.

    Porter showed against both Alexander and definitely Malignaggi that he can clearly punch hard. If there's one thing Malignaggi has it's a good chin.
    Because he was stunned, not really wobbled. and it lasted for 5-10 seconds max. You take a shot off anyone right on the chin, and you get buzzed.

    The notion that if you get buzzed, you have a suspect chin is too sensationalistic to me. Especially as he proved he could take a good punch vs Jones who also broke his nose.

    Jones stopped Ouali who took Aydin to a close decision as well as staying on his feet the full 12 rounds for example.

    Again, not saying he's world class, but he can punch.
    I didn't see any sign of a puncher vs Alexander at all.

      Why doesn't Pacquiao fight Brook or Porter in late-2014? Forget the Alvarado snore fest or Marquez V for now. Promotional issue right?
      Unified champ PacMan vs unified champ Pretty Boy.
      That's where it's at.. Bye bye Arum

          Well, he rocked Alexander who's only been hurt by Matthysse so there's that.

          The notion of getting buzzed means you have a suspect chin isn't what I said.

          The notion of getting dropped doesn't mean you have a suspect chin.


          Getting buzzed by Senchenko is definitely a question mark on a suspect chin. It doesn't matter if it was one second or 1 minute, Senchenko is not a hard puncher AT ALL. And he wobbled Brook with one punch, that's a clear question mark on his chin.

          Brook didn't prove his chin against Jones. Jones hurt him multiple times and this is from a guy again who is not that hard a puncher.

          Oh ok, Jones stopped Ouali. Kermit Cintron stopped Ouali aswell can Cintron punch aswell because last time I checked he's not a hard puncher. Or maybe he is? He knocked out a lot of bums aswell early in his career.

          Jones is not a hard puncher. He's only knocked out bums, that doesn't make you a hard puncher.

          To say Jones punches as hard as Porter is ridiculous. Porter has hurt and stopped guys with proven solid chins, Jones hasn't.

            Brook won't take the fight. I'll bet 10 billion e-points that team Brook will find a way to not take the fight.

                Lets see it.
                I say do it on the under card of Canelo/Lara. Would raise the profile of the winner big time.

                  Everyone is afraid to fight Keith Thurman, whose biggest win is over a C-class fighter named Jesus Soto-Karass.

                    About time we see what Brook has at a higher level. Something doesn't add up with him, i don't know if he's mentally weak or what but he's been threatening to step up for years and watch fight after fiight get cancelled for a variety of reasons.

                      I also felt like the fight would not happen but I see that Kell commented about Porter;s win on Twitter, and now we have this deadline.. it's looking up so far.

                      Did porter or anyone on SHO mention Brook on Saturday? I was watching but couldn't hear the commentary.
