Comments Thread For: Porter Expects To Become Mandatory Challenger For Spence-Garcia Winner

[champion4ever]

Swift lost once already to Porter. Plenty to gain there.

That's your opinion but if he defeats Erroll Spence, Jr Danny Garcia is vacating the titles and moving up to the Junior middleweight division.

I would like to c Shawn porter vs Manny pacqauio. noe that would be a dogfight instead of the rematch..

I'd definitely like to see a Spence-Porter rematch.

Makes sense. I was confused by the first part of the article that says

"Now that Shawn Porter has beaten Sebastian Formella in their IBF/WBC elimination match, the former IBF and WBC welterweight champion can’t see any reason he shouldn’t become the mandatory challenger for the winner of the upcoming Errol Spence Jr.-Danny Garcia fight."

What exactly was eliminated in that fight?

Yeah, I don't think that fight was an elimination bout for the IBF! Maybe the WBC? Shouldn't have been for the WBC either, since Formella was not even ranked in the WBC's Top 15!

If Shawn Porter was really interested in fighting for a belt, he would've fought Crawford, instead of fighting a nobody, then waiting in line hoping to become a mandatory. Whoever wins in November will be looking for Manny, then Bud. Good luck, Shawn Porter...

Agreed, I believe Shawn won't fight Bud because they are friends and Crawford told him not to...RIDICULOUS!!! This is business and being the professionals that they are, they should act like it.

I gotta disagree with both. If Danny beats Spence, he'd be in line for the Paquiao fight. If that doesn't happen, he can pursue the Crawford unification, or even a Spence rematch. Either of those options would be more lucrative than a Shawn Porter rematch. The only way I see him moving to 154, is if he loses to Spence.

I like Porter and all but I dont want to see the exact same performance he always gives.
Maybe against Crawford just to see if Crawford can deal with him.

I agree with you 100%!! As Adrien Broner said, and I never quote Adrien Broner? "Shawn Porter is a really good Football Player"! And his daddy is just irritating? Porter is very scrappy and he's always in shape. However I want to see skill, I want to see The Sweet Science at its best, before this current group of welterweights get too old to fight each other.
I watched Shawn's fight last weekend and still was not impressed? The guy he fought had nothing to keep him off but because of his rough and tuff style that lacks craft, his weak opponent was able to see the final bell? So whether you're talking Spence, Crawford, Garcia (either one), Pacquiao or Thueman? This guy does not see the 12th round!
