    Porter: "Keith Thurman was a tougher fight than Errol Spence Jr."

    Porter said that Spence knocked him down because that hard shot came near the end of the fight. He says Thurman hit him with a similar hard shot like that early. Shawn said that since it was earlier, he had more strength to hold on, and he thinks that Thurman didn't realize how bad Porter was hurt.

    Porter said their punching power was similar. Too bad that version of Thurman never fought Spence.

    Not surprised, it was round 4 Thurman badly buckled Porter. That version of Keith was a monster man. Prime, hungry, no injuries, no wifey, no distractions.

    I think that version of Thurman would have been a bit too mobile and explosive for Spence.

      Ouch! Why does Porter have to say that? How about AB? Did that KD hurt you more?

            Spence vs Porter was a closer fight than Thurman vs Porter

            Porter knows he got schooled by Thurman there. Even Thurman revealed that he was just playin Porter in that fight cos he thought himself Ali in that fight and Porter as Frazier, that's why he said he stayed in the ropes to give people a good show.

            Crazy idea by Thurman

              Crawford and Spence are lucky that the Thurman that beat Porter is gone.

                  Nothing new here. Always the boxer that gets knocked down or knocked out will claim the other fighter who couldn't do it hits harder.

                  It literally happens every single time.

                  I remember Wilder sending Szpilka's head flying into the crowd and Szpilka coming back and saying that Wilder is doesn't hit that hard and aint the hardest puncher he faced.

                  Can't make this shieet up, smh.

                  Ps. No version of Thurman beats Spence. No soft body tissue fighter gonna go the distance with the body snatcher.

                  (I have no idea how Porter survived twelf rounds with all those body shots he took in that fight, guy is tough as nails.


                  Oh and Thurman got Collazo'd by Porter in that fight and almost got stopped by a Porter body shot. People seem to conveniently forget that part.

                  If a Porter or Collazo body shot does that to him, lol, he don't stand a chance against Spence. I'll be impressed if he makes it past round six).

                    This version thurman is better than porter fought because of more experience and i favor thurman to beat either spence or crawford.
