    This would be an intriguing fight IMO. I sometimes feel that Porter is a level above GG due to relentlessness and Chin. But GGG is more technically sound. I think those fights would end similar to Crawford vs Porter with Robert Garcia stopping the fight.

    GGG.

    But then, you knew I'd say that.

    GGG

    Crawford gets hit too much. You don’t want to get hit flush by GGG, especially a prime one.

    Crawford will have a few good moments in the mid rounds, but GGG will either win by KO or UD.

    GGG

    Porter was making Crawford miss badly with his mediocre head movement. Also, Crawford got hit too much and Porter was winning according to some fans. Brook also outboxed Crawford until TKO.

    GGG has annoying ATG jab and he would hit Crawford all night long. You need Canelo level defense/head movement to get rid of his jab.

    Craword is a better defender than Canelo though

    Crawford might last four rounds tops. GGG feasts on guys like Bud.

    You think Porter is anywhere near GGG?

    If people are saying GGG then surely this ends the argument of Crawford being p4p #1 ?

    If they were the same size, it would be Spence vs Porter all over again

    You understand the phrase, "Styles makes fights"?
