    I think Broner will be the new Judah.

    Doesn't matter how many times he loses he'll still be a decent name.

      That will depend whether Porter is healthy or not, surely?

        I have no clue, I can't recall the fast fight I saw with a rehydration clause. I'm assuming its going to in the evening.

          More than likely this will be his fate.

            That's an insult to Judah. He actually beat good guys and didnt barely sc**** by guys much smaller than him. Sure he lost to baldomir but he had a good career.

                I can't imagine he will be, but I'm hoping he is. I think a healthy Porter roughs Broner up.

                If Porter does look like himself, then it won't be so bad if Broner loses.

                  Despite all the criticism Broner got for losing to Chino, there were still a lot of people defending him saying he was to young, to small, to much to soon etc. Personally I think Porter vs Broner is a great match up, Im actually surprised (to an extent) Haymon made it. Stylistically I think Porter has the edge & the whole re-hydration clause may not favor Broner like most think because Broner balloons between fights, unless the re-hydration clause only applies to Porter.

                  On the other hand if Broner wins, Id like to see Broner vs Pacquiao as Pacs first comeback fight after surgery. But anyways, will Broner, his fans, & team be out of excuses if he loses (by UD, KO, or TKO) to Porter? Or can you see Broner sticking around for a few more Paydays?
                  This is a big one for both guys. If Broner loses, he is in bad shape imo. He has all the advantages with the cw and rehydration clause. So if he loses it just makes him look terrible and puts his career on life support. My problem with the kid is he just does'nt seem dedicated to the sport. If he actually had the Floyd work ethic he could be special imo. He has no business above 140 and I think Porter is going to kill him.

                  Porter is at a crossroads to a degree as well. Coming off a loss to Brook and a win over a complete nobody. If he loses he goes to the back of the line for the forseeable future.

                    Boxing-wise, he's hardly relevant now. He's barely top 10 at 140, and he's been there for a few fights now

                    Business-wise, will be a name but thats it. Just as Guerrero is a 'name'

                      Yeah I agree it's unlikely but you never know.

                      I'm not too sure but I think Porter rehydrates quite high. What's the limit for the fight?
