No problem brotha, I got you when I got home today. I’ve said over and over again I go no personal bias, and yet you act like I’m purposefully shytting on Swift. :manny: whatever floats ya boat. But also, I’ll never use compubox or ShoStats to justify an argument .....day one stuff breh

Also, Danny still got a better resume than Mikey ?

But if we’re just focusing on Shawn being better skilled. His jabs better, his offense all around is better, he can make adjustments way better, his footwork is infinitely better, his feints are better. Now you may not look at things the same way because you’re a Swift fan, but look at Danny’s inability to put together punches, look at his inability to consistently jab, look at his inability to set up anything except for a right hand or left hook. Furthermore, look at his footwork, fundamentally good yes, but incredibly slow. So those are some of the reasons I think Shawn Porter has superior skills than Danny Garcia. Moreso than anything, Danny doesn’t have anything but basic power at 147. Once Porter realized he doesnt punch that hard, he started beating Danny’s ass. Anyway that’s why I think that breh. Don’t take it personal, cause you still my boy :yeshrug:


God damn that Mikey slander must've really got you in your feelings :Lol88:


Did Mikey resume magically get better by Swift losing??:mjlol:


Has Mikey fought a fighter the Quality of a Keith or Porter ?? I'm not in the business of giving imaginary Ws :manny:


Nothing special at all bout Mikeys resume.... Nobody talking crazy bout "inferior skills"... Who Mikey has fought isn't top anything... plenty of nikkas have better resumes

nikkas is clearly mixing up better skilled with better effort.

Porter and Swift are both skilled, but they excel in different areas. Based off the eye test, I'd say Swift is the more skilled boxer, but not by much. Danny definitely punches better and has better defense. The only punch Porter throws better is his jab which he don't always use.

The thing is Porter gets more out of his skills because he always backs it with inhuman effort. Looking rough or ugly ain't a big deal when you still controlling the fight and outworking your opponent. Just like being more skilled ain't a big deal if you not controlling the fight and dictating the action.

When matching 2 opponents and everything is equal, its usually the effort that separates them in a fight.

In a sense, Swift beat himself. He couldn't overcome the one flaw we all knew he had which was his workrate. :manny:

Resume's are starting to mean less and less to me if their isn't a couple 50/50 or underdog type of fights sprinkled in there.

Mikey resume is solid. Dude has faced more legit threats than a guy like Bud for instance, but Mikey been favored to beat everyone he's faced. Broner was the only guy that everyone wasn't sure on because of the weight class and the thought of "focused" Broner showing up. Other than that his resume ain't special at all.

Elite effort is a skill. Hard to lose a fight when you land more and more active.

You can have all the textbook “skill” in the world but if you can’t put that shyt together in a winning effort then ain’t good for shyt.


We agree with you breh...but you cant tell me you saw Saturday nights fight N said to yourself

Damn that Shawn Porter clearly had the more superior skills :ohlawd:


That's where we are right now...nobody in #swiftset has cried bout the decision...bashed Porter or anything like that...but we gotta draw the line somewhere :birdman:

Not at all friend. You musta forgot since I don’t post here that often anymore. Mikey’s resume is filled with dudes that were undefeated champions before they fought him, and in general is filled with top notch competition, many former champs. Lol name three dudes with better resumes than Mikey :mjlol: Mikey has nothing but KOs and UDs on his record. No close fights with okay opposition. Nothing special lol, you’re trippin breh. Please indulge me with all these brehs with better resumes.

:russ:


I get what y’all saying tho but how did Porter win with less skill :patrice:. Them ugly punches count just as much as that pretty shyt. I can’t say that Danny is better skilled that Shawn P if he lost to him. It’s just like saying Chocolito is more skilled than King Sor but he clearly got beat by him.

Yea I saw Danny get himself busted up by a basic up jab and hand feints. I saw Porter getting inside of Danny’s range not allowing him to get his punches off. Using his boxing skills to beat Swift. But like ya said agree to disagree.
