Comments Thread For: Porter: Spence Isn't an Option Next; I'm Not Ranked By the IBF

[B Phontain]

Watched the video on Fight Hype. These guys are embarrassing lol Spence doesn't have a mandatory. In fact two fights have to happen to put a mandatory qualifier in for the IBF . So he's free for a while.

These guys (Porter, Thurman, Garcia) will be doing these embarrassing interviews all year lol

Nothing beats Mosley's "tooth" excuse though. That was classic.

Absolutely classic lmao!

lol, that is pathetic.

I don't think Spence will look as great at 154 against someone like say Jermell... I think Jermell probably beats Spence...

I think Spence should do what he has to stay @ 147 and force them to fight him or move up and then he can chase them at 154...

Crawford and Thurman would be legit underdogs against Spence at 147 right now.

Bud is huge and will fit in fine at 147. Bud has true skill. And why wouldn't Spence get credit for beating the pfp best fighter in the world In Crawford?

This may be true but Crawford still needs to move up and prove it first! He'd be a decent size WW but there is no guarantee his power will carry. Nothing wrong with Spence trying to unify the titles until Crawford makes his WW debut.

I wouldn't get too excited about this fight anyway, there's always the Bob Arum factor. It'll take a hell of a deal for him to let Crawford step into the ring against a non Top Rank fighter....

SMH, even got Porter shook. Spence needs to start saying #DivisionDown instead of #Mandown

Nobody wants it

God please let this fight happen so that spence can beat him into irrelevancy...i can't stand this guy(fight style) or his wack ass dad

Spence's boxing skills aren't like Loma, Floyd, etc. He mostly uses in and out movements, but he attacks the body - that's really his strongest attribute. He breaks an opponent's body down and he can walk through these smaller guys at 147.

Go up and try to walk through Jermell or Hurd...

Try to just come straight forward against Lara... see what happens...

Thurman isn't even a big puncher at 47 and Crawford wasn't even a big puncher at 40... Spence can walk those guys down and just outwork them especially with body shots and control the distance with his reach...

Wow! Just wow! Spence has the entire division running scared.

Porter ought to be ashamed of himself.
