Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Porter Deserves The Mayweather Fight

[The Big Dunn]

lol, it is easy to find a fight where you are underdog. Its just those are the fights that Floyd tries to avoid or puts CW etc etc into the contract.
Fight GGG at 160 he will surely be the underdog. Why let Bradley beat Floyd to it? But Floyd don't have to do what others are willing to do does he? Hes protected.



No, im a fan of FLoyd. I want him to reach his latent potential, and if GGG is as easy as Floyd claims, he must go for it.

You sure about that? He night be, but if you have to go up 2 weight classes before you are an underdog that shows you are pretty damn good.

Floyd has one fight left on his showtime deal, ggg is on HBO, Tr, Bradley's promoter works with HBO and not SHO. so that's how Bradley will beat him to it.

that would be horrible porter had a 25% connect % on broner it would be like 8% on floyd, ugly fight.

I want a line of that **** Oscar is on

[kmas-ski]

WHaaaaat!! I really don't get your guys logic at all. He beats pauli malignagi and adrien Broner and deserves a mayweather fight!!???

Kell Brook and Amir Khan have wayyy better cases. Brook schooled porter, and what about a guy like Mattyste???

did you say that after Maidaina beat Broner? And who did Maidaina beat of any relevance after his losses other than Broner? Or Guerrero and Ortiz after beating Berto... pause...still waiting "your facts are backwards" -Nas

maidana beat broner and got a shot (big loop in the middle) porter beat broner and got a shot??? what? oh i see.....kell brook is being called porter now...
****.

hey fellah, i agree with everything you said except the bit about khan being more deserved.

I'm sure Porter will go to 154 for an Oscar comeback fight before he then faces GGG. Btw, who has Porter beat? Who has Brook beat exceptPorter! And who in the hell has Con beat? Oh yeah, Algerieri.

I'd say so too, but Brook nor his people seem very eager to land the fight. He's more keen on fighting Brandon Rios and the likes. Danny Garcia all over again. I guess they don't think the huge payday is worth losing a decision. Only reasonable guys really talking up the fight are Khan and Thurman right now.

But they were postponing the Rios fight to know whether they'd be in the hat for Mayweather? They've continuously said they wanted that fight.

Reality is that Brook is not a big enough name to get Mayweather right now and so they've moved on to fight someone else.

Porter will not get the fight simply because he has no following. If you are Going to challenge Floyd, you must meet the prerequisites. You must either be from a different country and very popular, or be a very popular fighter in the U.S.

Otherwise, it will without a doubt bring down Floyd's PPV numbers.

If you search YouTube, you'll find a video, in which, Sam Watson is hanging out with some friends outside somewhere and he admitted that Floyd will never fight a black fighter. I was able to read between those lines.

There just aren't any black fighters, other than Floyd, that have a huge following and that will draw in the masses.

He fought Judah and Morsley and who else was there to fight? If Brook hadn't spend his life fighting bums Floyd would have given him a fight. Junior Witter was a nobody, Alexander was considered but he failed, Bradley decided to chase Manny Pacquiao instead
