Shawn Porter vs Floyd Mayweater Jr

[Masters01]

Yeah, its likely that today's Porter would win now (but i dont know if today's Porter is clean or not). Floyd would destory him in his prime of course but today's floyd doesnt have enough for these type of guys (relentless, rough, high activity). Floyd arguably has just about enough for Maidana, but Porter seems to be a better version of Maidana, with some decent boxing skills to boot.

Floyd wins quite comfortably. There is nothing in Porters game that Mayweather has never seen before.

I think speed, angles, maybe a height advantage and possibly a southpaw stance is what will cause Mayweather problems. Andrade is pretty close but he needs better opposition.

Mayweather is 37 Porter youth strength speed relentless pressure would give Mayweather big problems

50-50 fight at this stage, Porter would cause Floyd all sorts of problems. He's got good footwork and a jab to go with his relentless come forward style, he's a a very skilled pressure fighter.

Floyd will never fight Porter.

I guess it really is about "how you looked in your last fight"

Floyd was nowhere near his best and Porter steam rolled through a veteran in Malignaggi.

When has Floyd ever looked his best against good pressure fighters?

LOL @ Porter-Floyd being 50-50. Porter is still too green for Floyd. And like I said, Porter's tendency to lunge in would leave him open to counters.

I would pick Floyd but it wouldn't surprise me if he catches another beating again.

Diego Corrales....

He may have never looked his best but he always finds a way to win and being 46-0 it's hard not to say he won't beat Shawn Porter, who drew against Julio Diaz not to long ago.

Diego Corrales....

Anymore?

He may have never looked his best but he always finds a way to win and being 46-0 it's hard not to say he won't beat Shawn Porter, who drew against Julio Diaz not to long ago.

He's only fought a few top level pressure fighters and struggled at some stage against them, barring Corales.

It doesn't matter if Porter drew with Diaz (I had him winning 7-3), Diaz fights nothing like Floyd and Porter has improved a lot since that fight.
