Would Porter give Pac the same problems Horn did??

[Redd Foxx]

First, I think Pac got robbed against Horn. But, everyone saw that Pac was bothered by the physicality and bullying. He didn't have a lot of answers for that. Porter is a much higher level bully that Horn.
Whatcha think??
Pac is the better fighter for sure but is this a "styles make fights" thing?...

[danceswithfire]

if the ref is as biased as the one in the pac vs horn fight he'd beat pac convincingly

but if you put kenny bayless as ref, pac UD's porter IMO

Porters rough housing style could give an old pac trouble for sure

Porter beats this version of manny

Yea Porter is a guy that would make Manny look old and wear him out fast. Terrible match-up for Manny in PBC I would say he is the second worst option for Manny to fight and might be the worst because at least he would get a lot of extra money to fight Spence.

I wouldn't have given it much thought but having seen Manny looked gassed at one point against Thurman (the only time I've ever seen him look like that) I really gotta wonder now.

I've criticized Porter's crude technique for years but even top guys are pushed to the limit by his physicality.

One of those boxing triangles. Pac beats Thurman, Thurman beats Porter and Porter likely beats Pac...at least 40 year old Pac.

I see more similarities with the second Bradley fight. Although that might just be the skin color and the bobbing and weaving. Porter makes things difficult because he switches it up with boxing and bullrushing. But he was also a long time sparring partner of Pacquiao, and weird things can happen when guys remember each other. Pacquiao has that power that put Marg on ***** street with a single right hook, dropped mosley and broke Thurman’s ribs, he also dropped Porter in sparring. I wonder how it’d go.

I agree with the robbery...and yes Porter's aggression would make it a dog fight and hard for Pac but baring a robbery I think the version of Pac (Pac on a good night) who fought Thurman wins.
