What's up boxing scene

until the shout out to ric, this is all a sham.

I'm not saying he should get different trainer every fight. But like artists, some trainers are better than others (just a simple fact). Nevertheless, each trainer has a different POV, and some of those POV's may in fact make him a better fighter..

The statement, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it is like saying", don't try to IMPROVE because it ain't broke. The problem is, sometimes its broke - you just don't know any better that it is.

yes but you seem to think that its just autmaticaly set that you should always try new trainers and I dont agree with that. The grass isnt always greener on the other side. Ask Malignaggi. He thought he was going to be 10x better with a guy like McGirt but ended up being 10x worse

Without risk - there's no reward. You'll never know until you try. There are ways to mitigate risks, frankly - sticking to good names in the training biz would help quite a bit (Nacho, Roach, ...).

Nevertheless, some people are just thick-headed and don't want to learn and improve, look at what happened to Hatton (Mayweather Sr). Alot of it ends up being the fighter not wanting to change what he's comfortable with.

Hey Shawn what's up. I have seen a couple of your pro fights and have noticed people saying you look like Miguel Cotto when you fight, that's not true you're way faster in hand speed and your footwork is a lot better than his. If this is really you then welcome to Boxingscene and just to let you know you have no haters on here yet but be sure to look out for them especially when you start making serious money and more fame, they'll come out of left field.

True. Like I said in my other post, Zab shouldve ditched his pops years ago. He will never be anything with his dad. His dad took him as far as he could. His dad should even be smart enough to recognize that and tell his son to move on. Thats why I asked Porter those questions.

On the flip side though, a guy like Jermaine Taylor was undefeated and ditched his trainer. I thought that was a bad move but everyone assumed that a legend like Steward would make him better. I just dont think it was fair to ditch a guy who has you unbeaten. You definatly shouldnt wait until you lose to make a move so I understand that but just because a guy has a bigger name, doesnt mean he's going to work better with you. Taylor has looked terrible ever since

One last thing Shawn, hopefully you don't take this the wrong way..

I truly hope that you try seeking other trainers to train you the future, not just stick with your dad. Nothing to do with your dad's skills but there are lots of great trainers out there, and like artists - they all bring something unique to the table.

Trainers aren't omniscient, they miss certain things that other trainers might be able to point out. Hence, to further improve your skill - I hope you mix your trainers up and listen to what they have to say.

It's just like going to school, it wouldn't be wise to stick to just one teacher..

Question funks. Not for nothing, but have you ever boxed?

Kenny is doing a fine job as a trainer, and he is a GREAT guy to top it off, nothing is broken so there is nothing to fix.

They have an incredible relationship, and Shawn is well focused, well mannered, stays on the straight and narrow and Undefeated, so why in the world would anyone even think about making a change? Ridiculous. But, that said, Shawn did just spend a month working with Pacman and Freddie Roach - do you really think Roach didn't give Porter some instruction too? lol

I can't wait to see Shawn in action after training with and going toe to toe with the best fighter on the planet right now. Freddie Roach said that Shawn has ALL the tools to be a World Champion - I think I will take his word for it.

BTW, here is a little trivia for you about Shawn - he was also an incredible Running Back in High School, he went to the same school as one VERY famous NFL Hall Of Famer, and btw, he broke that HOF's High School Rushing Record.

Now, ask Shawn who that Running Back was....

Berto. I would fight him today

Right now in your opinion. How would you fare againts Shane Mosley?

Nah, i'm just an e-thug in the InterWeb Forums full of Mayweather and Pacquaio bashing. Nevertheless, don't want the Zab Judah thing happening to this guy (Father as the Trainer). But from what SoundTraveler says, looks like the guys father may be the real deal.

In some ways, DLT and I agree (didn't see his post, the thread moved too fast).

Thanks for the welcome. I'm him. I understand the questions I guess.

You deserve a fat paycheck bonus from Manny! Props to you...good luck in your upcoming career!
