Floyd Mayweather vs Shawn Porter - Who you got?

[The Big Dunn]

And add to that Maidana punches a lot harder than Porter, which is of course a must have if you're trying to do good work when you have a fighter against the ropes.

I don't know about harder, but he does mix in wild "home run" shots with a few efficient and effective jabs/overhand shots. Porter is much sloppier, which is saying something.

You said that about the Brook fight too.

I never said Brook had no power

I questioned his chin and lack of experience fighting world level competition

And he clearly lost against Porter imo but thats besides the point

Always thought it was an easy win for Mayweather. Especially with random drug testing.

styles make fights. i think brook does better against porter than 37 year old mayweather does.

after seeing the brook fight for porter, you obviously take mayweather. that said, the style of porter is better suited for brook, who was tall and strong enough to handle porter in the clinches.


if maidana has mayweather on the ropes, it's a good bet that porter gets him there too.



i also want to add that i'm allowing brits to enjoy their win. brook is a good fighter, and he pulled off a great win. i'm not going to mention yet that you're all now fans of the andre ward style of boxing, because that MFER brook freaking clinches.


next time ward is out, celebrate him. he does what brook did on a much higher level, and he's a less prolific clincher. brook tied a man up and walked him to the ropes, hoping for a break. ward walks a man to the ropes with the intent to work. there's a difference. i'm not saying that i flag eithe rman for it, i just want to make sure it is recognized.

in time, i'll address it furhter. as i've said, i do want the brits to enjoy their win. they don't get them too often on this level.

If there's one thing the British people love, it's being patronised by a self deluded yank.

We appreciate you giving us the time to enjoy Kell's win. I mean, it was really in the balance straight after the fight but now we've received your official commendation; the whole country has taken a palpable sigh of relief. You can really feel it in the air.

Ward gets mad love in this country. Do you get your information from boxrec?

Porter would give Floyd a very tough fight. Floyd doesn't have the strength to hold/clinch Porter cleanly, Porter would get some work done on the inside. Also Floyd doesn't have a strong jab like Brook or even as much power as Brook, who isn't a big puncher. So he will find it hard to earn Porter's respect.

I would still pick Floyd to win, but it would be a tough, competitive fight. People on here are too reactionary. A fighter loses a fight and suddenly he's a bum and his past wins don't count for anything. People on here were saying Porter would struggle against Collazo yesterday. Ridiculous.

Mayeather by a wide ud. Porter is actually easier to hit when he charges in than Maidana is and Mayweather will hit him hard and often when he rushes in. Thten Mayweather will either tie him up or out fight him at close range.

[VG_Addict]

Floyd wins easily. Porter lunges when he punches. A counter-puncher would have a field day with him.

And LOL @ the guy who said Floyd doesn't have a good jab. He has a good jab when he uses it, like he did against Marquez, Hatton, and Canelo.

I think Maidana punches harder and he's also got a higher KO ratio against a little better opposition i'd say. He also has better punching technique.

No you said the Brook-Porter fight would be similar to Malignaggi-Porter.

Why can't you just admit Brook won? Porter didn't land one clean shot all night, how is he supposed to win?

[Resilient]

Bad style match up for Floyd, there's a reason why the Floboners disliked Porter so much.

[Bushbaby]

You simply cannot assume a fighter loses to another he's never fought because a totally different fighter beat him. And you cannot develop amnesia at your own bequest to do so. Marcus Maidana recently gave Floyd hell. Porter is everything plus more that Maidana had to offer and Floyd is old.
