    They asked Porter about a potential fight with Errol Spence, Jr and in so many words he turned the fight down by saying let him enjoy his title run for awhile. That tells me at the end of the day he is just another business man also.

    He's no different than some of these other fighters, who weighs the rewards versus the risks. He knows that Spence is not a huge box office draw or a mainstream crossover star at the moment.

    Therefore, the reward does not out weigh the risk.

      It is a business first and foremost. Wise words.

            Henry Bruseles was the GOAT.

                  Nothing wrong with a stay-busy fight. Just don't treat him like he's the greatest ever while doing it.

                    Gamboa had a tough rise. I don't think he was ever matched easy.

                      I don't think people expect boxers to fight solid opponents every time out. I think the more high profile you are the more scrutiny you get in terms of your opponents.
