Funny thing is, people are hyping Porter up to beat Spence when as far as Spence 3 best opponents: Brook, Garcia, and Porter he is by far the least skilled boxer of the three, yet people are saying this is the measuring stick test for Spence. It's strange, like what do people see in Porter? I aint seen all of Porters fights, but I've seen the ones that matter(Alexander, Broner, Brook, Thurman, D. Garcia, Ugas) and he aint looked impressive to me in ANY of them, the wins or losses, even with me taking into account his ugly ass style makes him look kinda goofy at times. Like I could understand hyping up Bud or Pac if they were in the other corner, but what do people see in Porter or do they hate Spence that much?
I personally dont think anybody hates spence.
If anything, people can see him as the future Top guy in the sport... the face of the sport. Since Mayweather is gone and pac will be gone soon.
I can see Spence and canelo... fighting to be the top guy in boxing... wants manny leaves.
Cause I still don't know if they could beat his old, experienced ass
From a technical stand point, I just see his flaws.
Doesnt mean somebody can beat him with those flaws...
I just know as u go up in levels of sports... the competition have certain abilities, especially experienced competition. And usually they are able to expose those minor flaws.
Mikey garcia, wasnt tryna win in that fight. I didn't see him do anything to show me he was willing to get knocked out to try to win.
Brooks is the only fighter on Spence's resume so far, worth mentioning... and he is only ok..
Porter is another, "only ok" fighter...
But he brings a couple of qualities to the table that makes this fight intersting.
His motor, his unorthodox fighting style... and the fact that he goes out with no fear, actually trying to win fights... even if that means getting potentially hurt.
Nobody is hyping porter up. Some people can just see how this is a good test for spence, on his way to becoming the face of boxing.
I was at the porter vs D. Garcia fight...
Porter impressed me in that fight because danny is better than him... I personally think Danny, technically and fundamentally, is higher than most of his contemporaries... but porter won the 2cd half of that fight just through hard work...
Theres something that teddy atlas always talks about.. he calls it getting put "deep waters"... I love that.. cause that always is the only true measuring stick for a fighter....
I believe porter is the type of fighter to put a guy like Spence in those deep waters.
And if spence is THAT GUY... hes gone make it out of those deep waters, if he isnt... he'll drown.
I've seen it many times
) who stands out above the rest. Last generation was easy to tell. Mayweather and Pacquiao were clearly the two best fighters at the glamour weights, just like Wladimir Klitschko was the best in the bigger weights. None of these divisions have a lot of depth past the top 3-5, it's telling when Mikey Garcia has to move up 2 weight classes to make a fight with an opponent, or Rigo has to move up 2 weight classes to fight a guy. Only 147 and 168 IMO have any semblance of depth and even then compared to the last generation those divisions would still be top heavy. Idk bro you can only beat who is able to be put in front of you.
