    Yeah, that's the whole key to the fight... IF Porter can get inside.. I agree khan has enough power to hurt Porter... Plus the speed of khan, Porter might get caught with something he doesn't see...
    It would be very impressive and skyrocket Amir's stock if he stopped Porter

      Khan should stay away from this guy.

      IMO Kell Brook would be an easy fight for Khan but his 'leftover' in Porter would give him hell.

        You guys picking Khan in this matchup are pretty nuts to me. Khan does not have the pop to keep Porter at bay, Porter has the athletic ability to keep up with Khan, and Khan won't be able to keep Porter off of him by clinching because Porter's physical strength is too great. We do remember Peterson vs Khan and the recent Algieri vs Khan experience right? Khan cannot fight on the inside, he cannot handle the kind of pressure that Porter can bring to bear on him, and he can't clinch his way out of it here. Porter wears Khan out and stops him late.

          Once TBE is gone everyone at 147 would have to fight each other, that is great for everyone involved.

            Khan does NOT clinch or know how to. But it would be a difficult fight for him doe.

              Oh, so Porter is a good enough fighter now, but not when Brook beat him?

                Cant see anything other than a porter win. Khan may do ok for a few rounds but Porters style is a nightmare for Khan unless he can deter Broner and im not sure he has the power.

                  Porter struggled with Alexander while Khan vs Alexander was a mismatch - Khan was about 2 or 3 levels superior to Alexander. I think Porter only has a punchers chance against Khan, if he doesn't get lucky, he gets brutalized and dominated the same way Alexander did.

                    Good fight but I think it's relatively easy work for Khan. It's true Khan lacks inside fighting but even if Porter gets on the inside he just smothers his own work anyway.

                    Porter only impressed me in the Paulie fight, that created a false illusion on his power imo.

                      Good fight.

                      Porter on his best day kills Khan.

                      Khan on an average day probably wins a UD.
