What is supposed to be good about Porter?

There's simply no way he'd beat Mayweather. Unless your talking about Senior.
His jab is also very amateurish, very quick put does nothing. It just flicks back and forth.Comment

Why do people hate on Devon? His only lose up to the Porter fight was to an undefeated Bradley. He has a great chin and knows how to box better than most. He isn't the first fighter to not have crazy power that people want to see. He has a strong resume and held the IBF Title, but he is just a random scrub because he lost to Porter now?Comment

i have mayweather at three after rigondeaux and ward.
some people think ward should be removed for inactivity. if he's gone a year without fighting i'll remove him. he's got the resume and the ability of a top pound for pound boxer.
guillermo rigondeaux is perhaps the most dominant fighter in boxing, and his win over donaire was recent enough to have gotten him high on my list.
mayweather is #3 in part because nobody has knocked him off of of the list. he looked very old against maidana. he's 37 years old. he lost several rounds to a very basic fighter. prior to the maidana fight i still had him at #1, where he'd been for years. he looked fine against canelo.
could the maidana fight be a fluke?
sure. maybe floyd looks himself in his next fight.
could porter be on the gas, and could his power be a bit of a mirage? it's possible. was paulie's chin done? also possible.
i don't think porter's power is an illusion. he's huge at welterweight. he's a strong, strong man. he's not the traditional sort of puncher who gets leverage and has great timing. porter's just a strong dude.
he's not going to take a clinch for an answer, and floyd doesn't have the legs to use the ring. i think it's a bad style. maidana proved that. floyd can be put on the ropes now that he's in his late 30's. porter's bigger and stronger than maidana, throws straighter punches with better handspeed.
i can't see anybody would be so confident in mayweather after watching the maidana fight. they wouldn't sit down and compare resume in the ring. they'd fight.Comment

ranking four and five is tougher than ranking one and two. i think ward and rigondeaux are the two best fighters on the planet, and could be switched around for the first spot.
floyd, post maidana, is an easy three.
the easy answer would be wladimir and pacquiao. that's probably the correct answer as well.Comment

he also completely shut maidana down. did 10X better than old floyd did.
