Porter -'I'm a better boxer than Maidana'

[John Locke]

Wud Maidana have lost to Julio Diaz?

lol I had him beating Diaz 7-3 in the first fight but he had an off night, it happens. In the second fight he showed there's a difference in quality.

Diaz is a good fighter btw, I don't know why people always talk about him like he's some bum. He's a very solid guy, decent skill and decent power. He can fight.

I don't like watching Porter. Has a tendency of smothering himself and lunging in. But he'll beat Broner who doesn't have the size, strength or movement to cope with his style.

Yeah he does get a bit wild sometimes when he's the aggressor, too impatient. I prefer him when he's boxing.

Meh, I don't agree. He looks cleaner than Maidana's unconventional style, but it isn't as effective. People often confuse more technical for more skilled.

This is a good and persuasive argument.

[Beater_of_ass]

Porter is definitely a better boxer than Broner.

Honestly I think too many people are judging Porter based on the Brook fight. He fought like a caveman in that fight but he's got skill, watch some of his other fights, he's a good boxer when he's not the aggressor, he showed it against Diaz in patches, in both fights.

He gets impatient too easily, he needs to be more disciplined in the ring, he's got very quick hands and good footwork, he needs to use it more.

He had a great amateur career, beat some top guys.

He fights like he always does. He has hidden talent, like Canelo. But, also like Canelo it's going to take a new trainer to find it, his pops isn't cutting it anymore. Just like Canelo's corner.

great post, i feel the same way about both fighters

[microMXL]

I believe him, but Maidana wasn't weight drained like Porter will be, it is sad that this is at 144 and with rehydratation clause

[Motofan]

If the weight doesn't kill him I think he just beats the absolute hell out of Broner. To the point people will actually start to feel bad for him. No meme threads after this fight. Just lots of "Damn..."

You have a point

Shawn is a good boxer, but i dont rate him to the level he thinks he is at

I think Maidana wud give him a run for his money

As limited Broner is, i think he beats Porter, i maybe wrong, but Porter has a chance to redeem himself after that loss to Brook

Agree. I think he will maul Broner.

I would love to see a Porter vs Maidana fight, it would FOTY candidate.
