    Guerrero or Maidana would be nice. I doubt a Maidana fight can happen, his attitude towards fighting seems to have changed since he fought Mayweather. I don't know what the heck is up Guerrero's butt either. Perhaps is the poor advice he's getting from his new advisor(cough cough, Al Haymon).

        I still think he can hold his own against any 147lbr however if he was unable to hurt Brook which even that dude Senchenko did then he is abit goosed out imo.

        Needs to time people rather than jump in with his wild Tyson like lunging. Your not Tyson so find a different plan that works.
        It's not as simple as that really. Plenty of fighters have been hurt by lesser punchers in their careers. Mostly because you are a bit careless - and Brook was in this case. He had just dropped him and hurt him, put down his guard and got popped.

        Any big WW who gets a clean shot on someone will be able to hurt you.

        Porter has good power, he's just not a knockout artist.

            I don't think Porter should be written off. He's still a tough welterweight, he just need some improvements. A loss can make you stronger.

            I'd say Guerrero would be a good opponent for him next...if he's not too scared, that is. If not, then maybe Maidana. Either one of them would be good.

            Yeah, people did kind of overrate his victory over Paulie.
