    Ruslan easily, Porter needed the judges help to get a draw against a "shot blown up glass jawed light weight" as Hearn called Diaz.

    Also Ruslan is a monster puncher with an Iron chin Porter only really showed power against a shot to **** Paulie who was stopped years earlier by a feather fisted arm puncher Khan at his best weight. As for the whiskers Porter got dropped by a guy who has shown 0 power above 135 in fact the 2 common apponents he has had with feather fisted arm puncher Khan (Paulie, Molina) both went the distance with Broner and were stopped or quit against the feather duster Khan.

      Porter, overall, is a better fighter but doesn't hit as hard.
      Porter is a tougher fight.

      Porter is better all around and he has enough power to KO Khan. You don't need Ruslan type power to knockout a guy with Khan's chin.

      If Algieri and Matthysse can outbox Ruslan, I'm sure Khan can as well. He'd probably get dropped at some point, but he'd win on points.

        Both come in wide, but it's Porter.

        Better foot speed and actually moves his head somewhat. IDGAF about Provodnikov's power. He comes in a straight ****ing line and doesn't move his head for shyt.

          RUSLAN?

          I think khan outbox ruslan easily

          Porter would be better opponent for him

            Neither guy poses a threat stylisticly, however both guys are capable of knocking Khan out. Stylisticly guys who can counter punch give Khan the most problems. Guys like Danny Garcia and Floyd, who can punch with their opponent.

              Provo's a beast at 147. He'd KO Khan if they fought.


              Porter VS Khan is 50/50.

                Porter.

                Provodnikov has big power, but he's very, very average. Algieri had no trouble avoiding his power after the 1st round and outboxing him, even Matthysse boxed circles around him when he wanted to. No head movement and comes forward in a straight line all fight.

                Porters foot speed and hand speed are far superior. He gets inside much better. He has more skill, he's physically stronger....He's a much better fighter than Provodnikov.

                  Porter is my choice. Prov is past his best imo. Too many wars and that one with Matthysse took a lot out of him. Porter can keep up a stronger work rate and that's what you need to trouble a very defensive minded Khan.

                    Khan is tall and rangy, he will clinch Porter to diffuse him

                    I like Porter, but he rarely lands clean on his opponents and the jab is kryptonite for him. Khan would look sensational against Porter imo...Khan isnt a good matchup for Porter.

                    Ruslan has game changing power, everything he throws has something on it. Khan will have to weather the storm, and should win, as long as he boxes.

                    The guys who really trouble Khan are tall guys who apply pressure or counter punchers

                    Porter and Ruslan are respectable names though...the same cant be said about Frankie Gavin and Chaves.

                    Although people keep saying Khan is scared of boxers who can punch, Ruslan is one of the hardest hitting guys, so that criticism of Khan will no longer stand. After all Khans chin is made of glass right?

                      How is he a beast at 47?

                      Let me guess because of that one time he had Bradley hurt?

                      His best W there is against the decrepit rotting carcass of JLC.
