    Khan softened him up for Porter the 2nd time around
    That was good.

            Spence has always been projected to be a great fighter.

            Why do boxing nerds have such a problem with "hype"? Hype is good for the sport and most of the time if a "hyped" fighter is going to be "exposed", it is easy to see coming (example: Broner).

              Yeah I was on the Spence train since round 1 of the Olympics.

                wtf plenty of people said this. Even trainers and fighters have said this in previous years.

                  Porter really isn't that good, that has to be said. He's a hard working overachiever, but he lacks class. He has a reckless face first football player style. He overwhelms opponents but he can he easily out boxed and Broner should have beaten him and I believe he lost to Diaz.

                  Errol Spence is quite clearly better than Porter.

                    Porter wasn't hyped until he beat Alexander. Which was a better win than Spence beating Algieri who fought like a semi-retired fighter. Spence has been hyped even before fighting Algieri.
