Porter, the grinding wheel test.

[MONGOOSE66]

Anyone whose anyone, before they get a top 3 shot needs to go through Porter first. He'll cull everything with a weak heart for fighting.
Oh Sure, he ain't perfect, nor is he the best, but you AINT going to find more "WANT TOO" in the division.
I would of loved to see Spence deal with that guy. He may of won or lost but we would KNOW if he has heart and a elite boxing IQ.

No thanks. After that headbutt festival I don't don't care if I ever see him fight again.

Thurman and Brook didn't have that problem. I wonder why? Hmmm.
Bradley is also another great "grinding wheel".

Porter is a top 5 welterweight and a real test for any welterweight. Fighters only fight about twice a year these days and the best rarely fight the best. The idea that a welterweight must first beat Porter to get a title shot is ridiculous. It's hard enough for a good young fighter like Spence to get a title shot. If they get a chance to fight a champion they should take it before it goes away. Beating Porter first is an unneeded road block. Just give Porter another title shot if he is all that.

I want to see that ****er get KO'd cold. That was the worst display of headbutting I have EVER seen...YES EVER.

If Porter doesn't have an extreme strength and athleticism advantage over his opponent he aint winning...

That's because they are taller with longer reach..berto is not.

I don't think Porter is an intentional head butter. He is a hard attacker who comes forward quickly to get close to his opponent and throw lots of punches. He is trying o land punches, not head butts. Because he rushes in so hard and and fast accidental head butts can happen more often than average in his fights. That doesn't make him a dirty fighter. He is just a very aggressive fighter who comes to fight every minute of every round. He isn't a clincher or a wrestler. He is a close range steady puncher. If you hold his arms to stop his punches he will wrestle his arms free and that's legal. He did nothing wrong in the Berto fight. Berto is used to getting guys in a bear hug clinch to stop them from punching him. Porter wrestled his arms free and kept hitting him and Berto cried about it.

How about a battle of the big heads? Porter vs Bradley.

[Xi_]

No....just no....porter isn't even better than bradley.

[M Bison]

No....just no....porter isn't even better than bradley.

I'd wager that Porter would actually beat Bradley, It's a tough fight If It ever happens, but I like Porters toughness and the fact he hits way harder than Bradley.
