    Yup. They are convincing themselves still that Pacquiao is not the best of this era. That their man "convincingly" beat Pacquiao when many saw it the other way around. Specially when the highlights of their fight show Pacquiao the one connecting with the significant blows and their man covering up or excessively holding.
    Lmao. Stop lying to yourself. You can't even name 5 boxers that thought Pacquiao beat Floyd. It's time to face reality and let it go.

      It's actually a hellacious match up for Porter. Spence can out box him on the outside and is physically stronger than him on the inside so Porter can't try to bully him like he does others. With how much Porter opens up compared to Mikey, I got Spence with a late stoppage here.

        Thurman needs to get his credibility back and Thurman-Pacquaio is far more interesting. Spence breaks Pacquaio at this point. I'd pick Danny Garcia over Pacquaio at this point.

        Porter said previously a Spence fight "will be the easiest fight in the world to make" so let's see if it is.

        Knowing how things work we won't get winner vs. winner by years end but maybe by this time next year one of these guys will have "cleaned that side of the street". Hopefully then it's not a whole ordeal making the winner vs. Crawford but I suspect anything less than Spence will be a huge stalling out process.

          People in here really think that they are right because they say a fight happens or not SMH.

          People wake up, you dont know shiet!!

          Do you even realize its a 50% chance you get it right?. Plus its a time thing, people could not fight this year, but fight next year. What is that, you were right or wrong?

          Its just ******...this is on the same lvl of those alts, claiming they are a "source" from x fighter 's camp and saying they know the details of a near fight.

            Agreed on the outside game. I felt that Porter would shine in clinches or on the ropes since he hits people at closer distances than most. I felt like Mikey quit after a round. Porter beat Usyk on points in the ams, that's a pretty big deal to me in terms of experience and who you've beaten.

              Anybody note how this guy's words choice are unusually strong?

              Reminds me of women talking about their ex husbands.

              What happened my guy. Tell us how and when the man hurt you.

                But if you have noticed, Porter has tried to box more against fighters who can match his strength on the inside. No way can he push Spence back in clinches. Spence has a much cleaner and crisper inside game as well. See this going one way, and one way only.

                  I remember that. But all of them (Porter, Thurman, Spence) were on that PBC show and they all couldn't shut up about how much they wanted Pac and the $.

                  In fairness, that's how a lot of guys get big, by beating a faded star.

                  Porter and Thurman have not looked good in their fights lately that's for sure.

                      Well Porter vs Spence and Pacquiao vs Thurman are stylistically more interesting imo. Winners should fight each other
