Porter is a Hard fight for Crawford, and I'd pick to beat him.

[Thraxox]

There I said it. Porter is erratic and explosive and much more aggressive than Jeff Horn. He has great movement, moving his head side to side, bob and weave as he goes would make him a very hard target for Crawford to catch him on the way in, and has a good jab also especially a good lead right and a good left hook.

And IMO Porter manhandles Crawford, Porter man handled a healthy Keith Thurman in the clinches and was throwing him around on the ropes, and that is a feat of strength that Crawford couldn't match.

I don't mind seeing Porter v anybody, even though i don't really like watching him that much but he is a real test to see if you're genuine top level or not.

I agree it would be a hard fight, but I think Crawford is too accurate for Porter, Porter would take a lot of damage in this fight.

I think Crawford beats him 8-4ish over 12 rounds.... and that's not a slight on Crawford's ability, Porter just makes things scrappy and is a tough nut to crack, he can drag opponents into his fight and make people look bad.

7-5 Porter. Was easy fight to score IMO. Porter is too Erratic and agressive for Crawford IMO.

gamboa had crawford hurt. porter can definitely hurt him and beat him.

I think Bud handles him with ease. He's quicker, has more ring iq, slightly longer reach, accuracy and able to tie Porter up.

I'd like to see it though. Porter is a good match up for most fighters despite his ugly style.

Thurman had that gameplan but got manhandled easily by the stronger Porter and got bullied on the inside. I see Keith as the stronger fighter than Crawford, since he actually showed feats of Strength to which Bud's only feat of strength is being able to bully a tired Horn.

Call me crazy, but when I watched the horn-crawford fight, I saw some of porter in horn; they way he just tries to rush in, with lil head movements, use his strength to bully the other guy. Of course horn is a poor version of porter, but same style. I say Crawford just picks him apart as he comes in erratically like he does

Porter is a legitimate world class fighter. I had him losing by 1 round in the brook and Thurman fights. If Crawford did a job on him I'd be impressed

People underestimate Porter because of the Brook-Thurman fights where basically those fights were 7-5 ones where you can argue that Porter won both.
