    At about the 0:20 second mark, Kenny explains how Shawn beat 6'4 Usyk, as well as Jacobs and Andrade both well over 6 feet. I know it's just the Ams but do you think he has a point? Shawn has been the underdog and fighting bigger guys for a long time. Why would he be afraid of Spence?

    Is it on film?to his credit he did say Andrade was good then and I think they won one each.
    Usyk on the other hand doesn’t really add up does it?not just in terms of weight but time frame wise?
    To put that comment in perspective Usyk fought JoeJoyce at super heavyweight lol and won.

    I keep hearing this ridiculous comment that Porter is too small for Spence.

    Porter was a middleweight as a teenager ffs, he must feel like every welterweight is tiny

    Porter started in the pros at 165 and moved down through MW and JMW to WW

    But lost to Kell Brook as a pro.....

    The second he fought a bigger guy in the pro ring, he lost.

    Lol Bodies grow differently. It's called puberty. Calzaghe stopped Chris Byrd as an amateur! Usyk was a MW I believe.. Which says everything about his frame at the time. Scrawny, gangly teenager. Losses are common in amateurs. Korobov beat him too..

    Porter is 160 in great shape and probably the lightest he’s been since his mid-teens. Saying he’s small at WW is like saying Tyson was small compared to Holyfield

    HEIGHT. ISN’T. SIZE

    Porter is not scared of Spence but he won't beat him.

    Amature victories mean less than sparring stories to me.
    They are usually meaningless.
