    Great post! I swear Sweet pea don't get his proper due. He is my favorite fighter that I actually had the privilege to grow up and watch. He was a "cute" fighter but was a dog and could switch up when necessary.

      It'll be a tough fight no doubt, Crawford being the smaller guy but I think he gets the W. TC's smarter and more skilled than Porter.

        A lot depends how the good boxers fight them swarmers, Floyd Maidana is a perfect example , Floyd slugs it out and just sc****s in the win, Floyd boxes him and its a walk in the park.

          But Porter is better than Madianna.

            Porter just beat Berto, let's not get carried away here.

            I think Crawford catches Porter rushing in all night. Crawford is too sharp, Porter is too sloppy.

            Thurman and Spence would be tougher fights for Bud.

              Crawford has enough power and the height advantage to keep Porter off him but it would likely be his toughest fight to date.

                I think Crawford.

                  Wow, reading through the thread I have come across: Porter is a master at cutting off the ring, Porter is a great fighter like a mini Joe Frazier, Porter is better than any of Crawford's opponents...

                  BS never ceases to amaze. And this coming off a "stoppage" win over Andre Berto of all people.

                    Indeed. Some posters here say that he got outboxed by boxers when either fight could had gone either way or were close

                      Porter like to draw people into a war and use his strength to bully and dictate pace.

                      Crawford is too smart for that type of scenario and I think he would land cleaner more eye catching work for a UD.

                      Porter should fight Khan at 147, that is a great mix of styles.
