What's up boxing scene

So I know you've sparred with the best there is out there, Dawson, Manny, and Pavlik. Some people will say "it's just sparring," but what do you do to prepare yourself mentally before stepping in the ring with those guys, or for any major fight for that matter.

I just prepare myself mentally. I know i belong with those guys. like i told people when i was brought in to work with manny. i am not a sparring partner. i will not change my style to emulate another fighter. i was brought in because i have strong left hook and my physical stature was like Cottos. But i feel i am faster, stronger and hit harder than cotto. I really believe it now.

If you really are Shawn Porter, you sir is the next big thing. So please keep it together and don't be like Gayweather. BTW, welcome to Boxing Scene.

Not asking you to give away anything from sparring...
But after seeing Pac on the weekend, do you believe your punches effected Pac more than Cotto's?
The way Manny walked off Cotto's body shots was unreal... was he willing to let you trade with him or did he try and stay away as much as possible?

I know people might have thought you were crazy if you said that before the fight, but I don't think you'll find to many people who can argue with you on that now. Manny took some shots but he was walking right though them. He retained his power and was strong enough to dominate him Cotto practically the whole fight. You definitely helped condition him to take those shots. You created a monster! Btw, do you train full time at the Wild Card? Who is your trainer?

Shawn, just a couple of questions. How was the sparring with Manny, did he hit hard did he hurt you, and what do you think of Manny's chances against Mayweather? Thanks for you time bro.
