Shawn Porter vs. Adrian Granados on the Wilder-Ortiz undercard

[GhostofDempsey]

That's a mismatch. Granados is gong to get smashed.

Porter-granados is a weak azz fight. Im not watching

[Loque-san]

I think porter will be to much.
Wide UD. Will def be a good fight though.

Granados is always game. Cf. post below yours: even in defeat he has given everyone a tough fight and has never lost by unanimous decision. But yeah I see Porter being able to overpower him and taking a wide, but competitive, UD.

i believe you are and you might be lieing

That's an action fight, nobody has an easy time with Granados, but I was hoping Shawn would fight somebody ranked higher at 147. If we're not getting Porter vs Danny, I would prefer Granados to fight Danny.

To be fair, I don't hear anyone really talking about Spence. He's the guy you face as a last resort.

Pretty much. They're different fighters, but he's basically at where Floyd was before Gatti brought him to New Jersey for a PPV; otherworldly talent who folks only fought when there was no one else for them to fight.

Floyd beats Oscar and beats Hatton, Floyd becomes the money man, and every fighter 154-135 puts Floyd's name in their mouths.

Errol will get that first defense (in Dallas or NYC), will likely make 1-2 more defenses, and then Keith Thurman will likely be compelled to fight him. That fight goes as I expected, Spence emerges as the WBC/WBA/IBF 147lb champion, and you end up with Wilder/Joshua, Canelo, and Spence Jr as the sports' biggest stars.

Crawford vs Spence in 2019 would be pretty sweet... By then Crawford should be done making the Top Rank carousel of in house fights.

That only happens if Terence Crawford is more Floyd Mayweather than he is Timothy Bradley; not to have a major knock against the guy, but I see in him a guy content with getting the good and regular $2m-$3m per fight, happy to fight whomever Top Rank can put in there with him, and be fine with fighting that way 2-3 times a year for as long as he wants to fight.

Say what you want about Floyd, even when he was fighting for $1m, he had the ambition in his mind to be a $100m fighter, and he did basically everything he had to do to get there.

Errol's not Floyd either, but he had the ambition that Ray Leonard had too, has enough folks in his camp helping him see the bigger picture, and he has the ambition to want to be the biggest star that he can be.
