Comments Thread For: Porter: I Believe Manny Pacquiao Is More Defining Fight For Me

[marikudo]

For years, Shawn Porter has chased down the top welterweights in search of a true superfight. Suddenly, he finds himself not just in demand but with a surplus of options from which to choose. The former two-time welterweight titlist has seen his name in headlines more often than usual as of late. Oddly, it hasn't been on the part of his team but rather Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who has done his best to sell to the public future options for his star client Terence Crawford.

I agree. A win against Pacquiao, legacy and money wise, is more fulfilling than Crawford. 10 years from now, not many will remember Crawford.

I just watched that fight recently maybe you should as well. brook absolutely manhandled porter in the clinch. porter was stone walled. brook beat porter better than spence and thurman did! brook had an easier time in there compared to the wars spence and thurman had with porter!

Thats cause Brook is much stronger than all of them, including Spence. He was mandhandling Spence too at times but the problem he had with Spence is that Spence doesn't care he just keeps working that body no matter what you're doing or not doing to him.

Put Porter in against Bud since the Spence fight was a pickem. Then it's Manny vs Danny Garcia. The winners for all the marbles, Then first defence against Spence. Let's have some fights in 2020!!

Seems that you easily believe in lies. Arum is only interested in money not any boxer’s health. Arum believed Crawford is not yet ready for Pacquiao at that time.

See, your hater response is exactly what I was talking about.

this is a hurt business, i doubt this was some kind of mercy.. Crawford was only building his name during those time and as the next cash cow of Bob he is keeping him safe..
this is not hate, this is logic.. im still not impressed by Bud, he beats no names.

If you don't want to believe that sometimes people do good things then you have a problem, it's not always about money. And if you only judge a fighter by his opposition then you are missing out on watching one in action to judge his style and all the detail, good and bad.

In every fight from Horn on Crawford has shown immense versatility, he adapts to any situation and style and is not afraid to go toe to toe. My impression is that he just loves to fight, being a switch hitter is just another advantage that he has. He would absolutely demolish Packy if he wanted to.

Mikey and Shawn are in the same boat. Both are attractive fights for Pacquiao because of their styles and size. Unfortunately, both men are coming off losses. Porter's loss, however, wasn't underwhelming like Garcia's was. Mikey didn't offer anything and was simply there to survive. When Porter fought Spence he gave him a helluva fight. But at the end of the day, they both lost. I'd like to see Pacquiao fight someone coming off a loss. Danny Garcia would be a good pick in my opinion. I've always preferred the Mayweather rematch, but if it doesn't happen, and Pacquiao wants to fight again, why not fight someone solid coming off a win?

If there's anyone that deserves the fight, it's definitely Porter.

He's put in the work.

The ideal fight is Pac v Danny Garcia. That would be a barb burner

I am saying what is true. I don’t hate anyone. Just open your eyes.

I hope Porter gets that Pacquiao fight, he deserves it. He fought everyone
