WHy did people talk about shawn porter like he was an established force?

????It seemed after he steam rolled pauli malignagi, people were sweatin, but why?

Kell Brook put on a great performance, before we even attempt to shit on Porter lets see where he goes from now.

well when you completely destroy a guy who has never been stopped and fought Cotto with a broken jaw.. you get a little shocked. Paulie was close to death and having a brain-bleed in the hospital after that fight. Thankfully it was stopped, who knows what would of happened.

I think Porter has the tools to maintain a top 10 position for quite some time. Possibly regain a title once May/Pac are gone.

To be fair, he was displaying some promising talent. I still believe he is a force to be reckoned with TBQH. Speed, power, relentlessness... and the guy is built like a tank. He's got to channel all of that energy in an intelligent manner, learn how to control and maneuver it. I do want him to keep his exciting style because it is truly appealing, he just needs to calculate distance better. He lounges in repeatedly in the same way, no adjustments.

Because he took Paulie out which no one has done before in that fashion and beat devon. /thread

Kell Brook executed his gameplan throughout all 12 rounds. Porter was getting frustrated and couldn't land cleanly.

So you're gonna turn your back on Porter like you did Thurman?

[techliam]

Well, Khan beating Alexander seems enough to warrant a Mayweather fight on here...

Porter systematically beat Alexander before Khan.

If you accept Khan as a decent opponent for Floyd, you have to accept Brook as force too.

(the same applies vice-versa)

So you're gonna turn your back on Porter like you did Thurman?

If he starts retreating and boxing like a bish, yes.

The problem with Porter is that guys are not going to fight him (like they were doing before) the blue print is there, guys are going into the fight to out box him..A fight between porter and provodnikov would be nuts!!!
