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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

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.

IBF will force Spence to defend his title, unless he fights Crawford or Pacquiao!

Defend against his mandatory or against Sean?

He won't vacate any belts, but he just took the WBC belt from Porter, now fighting Garcia, so I'm sure the IBF will make him fight the winner of the eliminator! I do think Spence will be @ 154 by Fall 2021!

Porter will become Mandatory, how long it takes to enforce the mandatory nobody knows. Some sanctioning bodies will hold out for multiple years.

If they don't make Porter mandatory he should audition for the next 007 flick.

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 think the IBF will make him do this:

"Uzbekistan’s Kudratillo Abdukakhorov (17-0, 9 KOs), the IBF’s number one welterweight contender, will face third-ranked Kazakh Sergey Lipinets (16-0, 12 KOs) for the IBF’s interim 147-pound championship October 10 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The winner will secure a shot at the Spence-Garcia winner."

Now if a Crawford or Pacquiao deal could get done, then he does that! Shawn is not a Champion!

I said this before and I am saying it now. Neither of the winners are going to fight Shawn Porter again. Whether it be Danny Garcia or Errol Spence, Jr.

I can guarantee it. There's no upside in fighting Porter for a second time. They would have nothing to gain from it but everything to lose. Is too high risk and low reward.

If Shawn was the WBO or WBA welterweight titleholder, then they would gladly fight him again because they would have something to gain but he's not.

Besides, rumors are swirling that this would be "Swift's final bout at 147 against Spence anyhow. He plans on moving up to 154.

You are exactly right!
