Why is Shawn Porter a welterweight champion?

[ShaneMosleySr]

He’s never defeated a welterweight champion. In fact, both welterweight champions he fought kicked his ass.

Maybe I imagined that he beat welterweight champion devon alexander.

[ShaneMosleySr]

When Alexander was on drugs.

He beat Paulie too I guess, whatever that means.

Devon Alexander was the reigning IBF champ and as far as I remember was considered a favourite in that fight.

[Ca$ual Fan]

Not only is he just a welterweight champ, he’s a 2-time champion. He has fought the most # of top welterweights in this generation. From Brook to Thurman to now Spence. The man is proven and he earned the strap

[lolpz]

Porter will have probably the best resume (aside from Pac maybe?) in the welterweight division after he fights Spence.

Respect him. But I think Danny won that fight if I'm being honest, and Spence thinks so too. I also think Ugas edged him lol.

So he beat Devon Alexander, Paulie Malignaggi, Andre Berto, Adrien Broner, Julio Diaz and Danny Garcia but that isn't good enough for you? Mmmkay there sonny Jim, each to their own (silliness) I guess.

[DuckAdonis]

Because Thurman was stripped

Beating old/shot Devon (who was never a good WW), old/shot Paulie (always a fringe Top 10 WW), old/shot Berto, Broner (never a good WW), and splitting with Danny G is supposed to impress fans?

Are you on drugs, boy?
