The problem is, Swift went razor close with both Keef and Porter. Porter was even less effective than Keef, from my view.
So if Porter goes razor close with Spence, razor close with Danny and razor close with Keef, and Keef goes razor close with Manny, razor close with Porter and razor close with Danny...how can he be overrated? He's been right there with the top dogs.
If he goes razor close with Spence, it'll be yet another notch.
So it's not he's a Wilder-level KO artist, no. And it's not like he times perfectly like Spence. But we should not dismiss Swift's craftiness in that ring, as I showcased in my thread.

Garcia's timing and power was being talked about as among the best in the sport. Him having a close fight with Porter doesn't mean it's not overrated. Nobody praises Porter's timing and power. If anything it's evidence it is overrated.The problem is, Swift went razor close with both Keef and Porter. Porter was even less effective than Keef, from my view.

Once again, as shown in the thread I linked with video, you have to have some quality timing to be able to land solid in a war exchange. Only Errol Spence has shown the ability to do that.
When Crawford tried to do that he got Bambi'd for his troubles (Gamboa) and dropped (Kavaliauskas).Comment

Look who's talking. Porter walked through all of Danny Garcia's well-timed power shots without so much as flinching and he thinks that Erroll Spence. Jr won't do the same? This isn't 140 lbs any more where the guys are a lot smaller and weaker. This is the welterweight division Jack; Where guys are cutting as much as thirty pounds just to make the weight limit. Spence is just too naturally heavy and strong for Danny Garcia to hurt him.

Porter steeled himself against what he knew was coming. Which is the main reason it went razor close. But let's be honest with ourselves. A case could be made that Porter lost that fight.Look who's talking. Porter walked through all of Danny Garcia's well-timed power shots without so much as flinching and he thinks that Erroll Spence.
