Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter Has a Plan To Change The Way He's Perceived

[Steven Mccowan]

All he needs to do is get drunk, have a real frustrated angry look on his face, go around aggressively yelling about how he is disrespected and deserves to be seen as the best, without actually proving himself...then he will have alot more fans. Hell I said to a guy the other day that I hope spence steps up and takes Porter fight, guy said no need for Spence to take a challenge against Porter, after he takes out this LW, he needs fight 41 yr old well past it Pac. Ppl care about having their own agenda and don't truly love what pro boxing can be...

What was the perception?
The article didn't say anything about it.
Was it about his style of being a human bulldozer that end in clinches and headbutts?

U seen Ugas fight before?
Stop hating in Porter
Lol

No, but I'm sure I would prefer it to Porter's garbage tactics. All of his fights are boring. And yes, that includes the fight with Thurman that everyone thought was the fight of the year for some reason.

He switched his style up against Garcia. He’s got tons of athleticism yet negates it with that bulldozing style. Well, he shows his athleticism in doing that too, but it could be better utilized via traditional boxing. I think we’ll see more of that going forward but I don’t know how that works versus Ugas.i feel Porter may need to hurt him.

Pacman may not face Porter, his coach Buboy said they won't gain anything fighting Porter. That may change if Porter beats any of the others and makes his name better known - i.e. more money.

Pacman seems more interested in Spence vs Garcia, their profiles are high now due to the promotions for their upcoming PPV.

I'm rooting for Ugas! Go away Shawn, please just go...

I'm sorry but that title is copyrighted. Anything other than "Jeff Horn Smiles:" isn't allowed. Say, it's been over a week since Jeff Horn "smiled"...

He should be silently trying to get booked against Porter. He'd be smiling then

No. The perception that he's ducking now that he's champ. Notice though: article says Pacquiao is elite, which means Horn beat an elite fighter, which means his name should be up for grabs too.

Porter should have played football instead, and leave boxing alone.

I'll admit it, I am the one Shawn Porter fan. I get it he smothers his punches, bull-rushes, and doesnt fit within a traditional style that purists can point to and recognize.

But I like his come forward spirit in the ring, I like his unique style (or lack thereof if that makes you feel better) and it intrigues me to see how it plays out with his opponents in the ring.

If he headbutts, clinches too much, or anything of that nature he should be penalized by the ref. In lieu of that though he probably will continue to do what he does, and I enjoy seeing him in the ring.

I don't know why people hate on Porter. he comes to fight and lands clean shots. Moves forward and presses the action.
