    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.
    But but everyone on here claims Algieri lost to Ruslan..

      Porter of course. No question about it.

      I don't think Khan would have a super tough time with Provo. I think he'd get knocked out by Porter.

        Khan would use all of his energy in 6 rounds to keep Porter off him.

        Then Porter would finish 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?
          Thinking that Khan can do to Porter what Brook did to him is a massive mistake. Khan can't hold on the inside worth anything, and he's nowhere near strong enough to keep Porter off him. He'd be running from round 1 and Porter would leap in with left hooks that would easily make Khan do the dance he likes so much.

            Porter. He's just a much better fighter than Provodnikov. He can do everything Provodnikov can do, plus much more. Provo probably hits a bit harder but Porter is physically a lot bigger and stronger and would be harder to clinch, also he could keep up with Khan cos he's got quick feet and is an all round good boxer.

            If Khan vs Provo goes the distance, you know Khan has won. If Khan vs Porter goes the distance, there's a good chance Porter has outworked him imo.

              Brook didnt do nought to Porter, but clinch him...many felt he lost, even more felt the fight was a draw..It was a boring fight which was more of a hugging contest. Brook never came to fight Porter, i feel sorry for Shawn.

              Porter doesnt have the power or the reach to trouble Khan

              Khan will show Brook how to win a proper UD...and it'll actually be a fight

                He'd have an easier time staying away from Ruslan than he would trying to keep Porter off of him.

                      "many felt he lost" ? Who exactly? EVERYONE felt Brook won on this forum, that's for sure. Everyone but Jim Watt and Amir Khan. haha.

                      Porter would tear Khan a new one, which is why it'll never happen.
