Spence hype =Porter hype before Brook

The Porter hype got pretty bad.

Short memories.

They don't remember cause it didn't last long enough. But everything the OP said was true. Of course not everyone was guilty of falling for the hype but the majority certainly were. Broners hype lasted a good couple of years so it was easier to catch people trying to backtrack on their prophecies.

If Spence loses his 0 in the next couple of fights, the same thing will happen and you'll get a lot of posters back tracking so save those quotes while you can, a future day of exposure is coming.

He did not have crazy hype at all. He destroyed Paulie but spence has been seen as "the future" since the olympics

Kell fought British bums for 10 years before stepping up that's prob why everyone picked shawn

He had CRAZY hype. End of story. It's not my fault if you weren't following boxing then,.

Spence has never been seen as the future...It's a bull**** nickname same way Broner was gonna be "a problem" for everyone. Spence's claim to fame was hurting Broner in sparring so stop acting like it's not.

No one said that, ever.

Yeah they did.

After he stopped Malignaggi there was endless threads on here about how he would KO Floyd and nobody will want to fight him.

But who cares anyway? fighters being hyped, even if it's undeserved is a big part of the entertainment i think, seeing if they can live up to it or not.

Yeah was like Carson Jones Durr Durr ...British Bum Durr Durr...but clinching doe durr durr

He was definitely seen as the 'present' at that time. Totally undeniable. People were saying he'd beat Mayweather, they brought up sparring stories about Pacquiao - How he put Malignaggi into a coma almost.

Dude had serious hype.

Porter didn't get knocked around like a ragdoll vs Diaz.

Khan ruined Diaz, Porter needed two attempts, lets be honest he lost the first fight

Khan softened him up for Porter the 2nd time around


With that said people did feel Brook would duck Porter because at the time Brook was known for pulling out of fights, still is (Chaves)

Porter is a good boxer, but the only people who were calling him the next Mike Tyson was Eddie Hearn and Brook

Tyson had Power, Porter lacks it
