Comments Thread For: Porter Hopes To Get Mayweather Shot on September 12

Porter is too crude to do anything against Floyd. Don't want to see that fight.

Khan and Brook should have fought by now in order to narrow down the options. The winner would be seen as the next best in class and would have more of a public mandate to get the Mayweather fight.

Deserve? Based on what?

Who has he beaten besides Porter?

I agree. Khan probably thinks he'll get the fight without having to take Brook on, which is unfortunate because that's a matchup worth watching.

Porter disappointed me. I was expecting him to score a knock out. Porter is young enough where he can smooth out the rough edges but I'm not so sure he will. He gets too close to his opponent and smothers his own punches. Broner has crap defense and is easy to hit but Porter had a hard time landing solid head shots. That leads me to ask if he had a hard time landing on Broner, how the hell is gonna land on Floyd?

cant blame anyone for going after retirement money.

I think they figured between Khan, Porter and Broner one of them would position themselves to get the Mayweather fight. Problem is, nobody showed up enough to where the public has a belief they can beat Floyd.

i'm starting to fancy brook's chance at landing the fight. he has looked impressive lately (albeit against small-time opposition), he holds a belt, and his profile in the uk is not much smaller than khan's any more.
