Manny Pacquiao vs. Shawn Porter

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Crawford don't want that Thurman or Porter smoke

[tophat1]

Porter would win at this stage, style wise this would be a long hard night for Manny

[Dallas' 4 Eva]

No chance. Prime Pac never got smothered by anyone. Porter really didn't even avoid the German guys from over the weekends punches. No way he would avoid Manny's.

Manny wouldn't avoid Porter's either. It would be a tough fight, and the closest Prime Pac stylistically he fought that was similar to Porter was Hatton who doesn't have Porter's footwork or handspeed or strength. It would be a tough fight

Definitely an awful matchup for Pacquiao at this stage of this career. He struggled to handle the physicality of Jeff Horn, I think he'd be quickly overwhelmed by Porter's swarming attack. I actually think he'd have an easier time against Crawford even though Crawford is definitely a better fighter overall imo.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree then

He beat Horn and almost knocked him out

I don't care what the bs scorecards said

Doing better than expected doesn't beat a champion, I'm afraid

Prime Pac would get smothered and have no room to bounce in and out. He wouldn't just wash Porter bro it would be a very tough fight.

Manny Pacquiao circa 2008-2010 loved it when bigger guys attempted to steamroll him. If Porter tried to do that, he would eat punches coming in. If anything Shawn would have to use his jab and footwork because simply trying to bull his way in would be costly.

Porter would use his footwork and jab, he always does use it to cone inside. Pac had trouble with the style of Horn and Bradley before it and Porter is Bradley 2.5 as far as skill and talent. I'm not sayibg Pac couldn't win, he can, but even Pac's trainer knows it would be a tough fight.

manny would check hook porters lunging punches.

provodnikov vs porter would be a solid match... if anyone coul unretire ruslan.

There is a reason why Freddie Roach said out of all the 147lbers Porter is the one they want the least for Pac. Stylistically he is all wrong for Pac.

To be fair, stylistically, Porter is all wrong for damn near everybody. That's his thing. He makes it ugly.
