    Porter is the weakest link to a title. Not sure he can handle Porter’s style. He can probably win a regular or silver version of a belt. Not against Manny though. I would still like to see a Danny vs Mikey scrap at 147.

      Possibly. There are too many belts and titleists who simply aren't so good picking up straps. Its almost like a raffle or something.

      Being a 3-4 weight world champion is becoming a regular thing especially with such a flawed weigh in system. Its not as meaningful as it used to be.

      Broner is a 3 weight world champion, look who he beat for those titles. Vicente Martin Rodriguez. You're all hardcore fans, anyone even heard of him? Maybe its just my ignorance with the lower weight divisions but I have no idea who that is.

        Yes being a 3-4 weight division champion isn't really hard that's why there are so many 4 weight division champ but being 5 division champion is very very hard and only the very best can achieved it like floyd, leonard and hearns.

          The titles on face value dont mean as much as the guy you take them from, the opponents form going into the fight and the conditions of the fight all play a part in credibility, on face value the titles alone dont mean a great deal.

            I think he could beat Pacquiao and become the WBA regular champion.

              The version of Mikey that got in the ring against Spence has no chance of beating the other two credible Welterweights. Crawford and Thurman. Its just the way it is.

                The bold: That's exactly what I say about the Pacman's 8 division BS.

                  I give him a decent chance to beat Crawford (like 20%), who came up to the division himself. He also has a decent chance of outboxing Porter. But anyone with legit 147 power is too much for him.

                    I think he could in time. But right now, the champs at 147 are good fighters.
