Comments Thread For: Porter Expects Andre Berto Clash in April, Wants Title Fight Next

[Clegg]

He may indeed be avoiding Spence, but at the moment Berto's a far bigger name than Spence. I

How is Berto a far bigger name than Spence? Yeah people know who Berto is but that doesn't translate into being willing to pay money to see him fight or even change the channel. Porter-Spence would interest more people, sell more tickets, TV ratings etc.

Spence's last fight was a big success in the TV ratings but Berto's last fight was a letdown in that department. I don't think 6 million people would tune in to watch Berto vs Bundu.

I think Crawford should fight Porter @ 147! That would be a good way to enter the new division and set himself up for the winner of Thurman vs. Garcia. If Porter can't fight Berto or Crawford, then Porter vs. Felix Diaz @ 147 would be a good scrap too!

Should be a fun fight.

Win or lose, both guys always bring it. I think Berto could pull off the upset, he has a puncher's chance.

If followed an Olympic basketball game they would be, lol any other day and Spence doesn't see half those numbers.

Andre Berto said he hasn't been contacted about the fight yet on fighthype.com and told Porter to keep his name out of his mouth!!

How many title shots does short Port want or deserve.

Short Port loses all his big fights. Berto is a boxing bum a nothing so why fight a Berto as it proves nothing? Port and his mooching dad money me Kenny deserve no big fight. Fight Brook again or Thurman? Port is average nothing there but maybe growing a few inches to be taken seriously.

He is ex ww WBC and IBF champ. He is funny to watch. Yes, berto si bigger name than Spence so far. he is even bigger than Brook, I would say.

Berto is a fighter, he ducked nobody.

Berto is just a known name at this stage.

Very little to offer at the top level.
