Comments Thread For: Porter: I Don't See Myself Retiring Without Fighting Errol Spence

[OnlyBeingHonest]

Same here. Well, maybe not afraid, but not willing to fight him anytime soon until he has no choice to fight him. The word retire should never be in the same sentence when talking about a fighter in your division that's just as young as you!

100% agree with you. I shouldn't have used the word afraid. My bad. These are professional fighters.

What's not to like about Porter's heart? Yes, his fights are ugly and his style is awkward, but he is willing to fight anyone and he's always competitive. It would be a great fight IMO. Spence by late round stoppage.

I'm a big fan of Porter. This guy has character, is fun to watch and is one of the nicest guys in the sport. He also seems to be a guy who does not avoid tough competition. War Shawn!

I agree with you on the fact that he's a good, nice guy, but I can't stand his style. He's constantly smothering his own punches and jumping in head first, Andre Ward style.

On the other hand, I love Spence's cool, calm, body-destroying style. I hope these two fight and Spence chops him down and "presses him out". They're both good dudes, but I can't stand Porter's half-wit Tasmanian devil style. It's very frustrating to watch.

Talk is cheap.

Porter is the biggest warriror in that division, he'll put it on the line against anybody.. And what fight that would be. Spence gameplan usually involves hurting his opponent, and I can't think of the last time Porter was properly hurt

vs broner in the last round

Porter will give Spence a good fight

Retire...huh? He's 29. If his small asś is worried about weight, get off the dang juice. Dude is 5'7" and doesn't belong at 154.

Just looking at his record and I've never seen weight like this. He started at Super Middleweight for his debut(???), the fought at Middleweight and had a bunch of fights at Jr. Middleweight. Didn't get to Welterweight until his 15th fight.

Just gonna say it, Porter is dirty man. 5'7" fighting at Super Middleweight all muscle like that, cat is dirty.

That's good of Shawn to challenge Spence. Keith Thurman doesn't seem like he really wants to fight Spence, but he was so quick to call other fighters out. That's not a good look. Hopefully Keith keeps his word and fights Spence when he "recovers". But I would love to see Showtime vs The Truth!!

vs broner in the last round

Broner is the only boxer to knock Shawn down I believe. Broner is a huge under achiever which is weird to say about a 4 division champ.

It's great and I feel very happy
