Comments Thread For: Porter: Me, Spence Are No. 1 & No. 2 Welterweights

[factsarenice]

I wish Manny would just leave the sport on a mythical high, leaving all of us wondering if he was the best ever....but he won't.

IMO, Porter is Jeff Horn but better, smarter, stronger, faster and skilled. Danny can't box but he has a blinding right hand bomb that I see landing equally as well as Thurman's right but with KO power. Spence is simply too big and skilled and he would beat Manny just as I believe his style,skills and size beats Floyd. Lastly, I would unquestionably take Crawford over Manny because he's the best welterweight on the planet.

Number 2? I'm not sure that a 41 year old Manny is even number 4. To be honest, I don't want to find out. Manny gave the world a gift in his last fight, I hope it was a parting gift because he took some tremendous, long term brain scramblers from Thurman.

Thats dumb Pac not even 2

Porter is not a bum, he won his belts the hard way and he hasn't been protected. Porter doesn't blow fighters out, he wins close decisions. Shawn fights tough, he has a rough style that he uses effectively to neutralize boxers. Is it eye pleasing? No. Is it effective? Absolutely.

Porter’s just a bum and a getkeeper at the best. He is far from elite and his name should never be mentioned as number 1 or 10.

No way I'll call a Fighter(s)the Best in their Division when they are All Avoiding another Fighter..... Especially when that Fighter is Ranked the # 1 or # 2 P4P in the World....
This Self Promotion of Spence and Porter is Ridiculous when the Majority of Boxing fans knows Crawford is Better than Porter and Possibly Spence......

That is a very accurate and fair assessment.

How does Porter see himself as #2 if he lost to Thurman who then lost to Pacquiao? I can see him at #4 (behind Spence, Crawford, Pacquiao). Definitely not #2.

Hes just hyping up his upcoming fight.

Relax.

Not too long ago he was very complimentary of Pacquiao after the Thurman win.

Saying Pacquiao was a legend and spence/porter winner has to fight him for #1 at 147.

That was a different Thurman he lost too.

I'd put the other champs ahead of Porter. Porter does have the second best resume at the weight after Pac of course. I give him a chance but don't see him beating Spence.

Better resume than Crawford.

Porter 'you are #5 behind Spence, Crawford, Pacquiao and Thurman

Who has Crawford beaten ??

[hitmanjosh]

Porter I'm sorry but I disagree! Here's why

Most recently you had a razor thin decision which we still can't say you won. The X factor for you and Mr. Spence is Crawford another great multi division champion who's undefeated by the way so before you jump on your on bandwagon do some real soul searching first and then you may come to the conclusion you're not as great as you think.

I'm just saying!

Better resume than Crawford.

thats what i said lol

Wow

Porter is dreaming. He is the 4th best welterweight. Spence beat Brook who beat Porter so that makes Spence better. Pac beat Thurman who beat Porter so that makes Pac better. Crawford is better than Porter just because he is a better fighter. Spence and Crawford are clearly the best and arguments could be made for either of them being the best. I think it's Spence but they must fight to know for sure. Pac is right behind them with his win over Thurman who beat both Danny and Porter.

Why does everyone on this board, as well as the media thinks Crawford is this killer at 147?
Who in the hell did he beat to be elevated that high?
Again we are talking 147!
Horn? Benevetez? Khan?
He has a trash resume at 147.
Josisto Lopez, and Soto Karras as a better resume than Crawford.
When he fights a LIVE BODY @147, and wins, then you can crown him whatever u like.....
