    Porter has natural talent but is lazy on defense and doesn't sit down on his punches. I expect him to go bust very soon.

    Lane is only a part-time fighter (he's a firefighter) and has come along very impressively considering he's moonlighting.

    Porter at welterweight, maybe.But above, I don't see him being competitive.

    I agree with this. He's got decent skills, but he seems simply too small dealing with 154 pounders.

    Porter's whole name is built off sparring Pacquiao. He really isn't all that.

    I dont know what it is, but when i saw Lane i thought he was just one of those guys that you seen on ESPN from time to time, good skill/talent, but one of those guys that will ultimately pale into insignificance, have you seen that guy Dereck Ennis fight? to me he looks like a very skilled fighter, but for some reason, one of those guys that wont make it.

    I agree Lane is good though, exciting and skilled at the very least.

    PAC shook him up in sparring. Emagine what those strong 154'ers would do to him.:admin

    You could add Logan McGuinness just to round off that list. But really the guy will never amount to much. He'd be very very lucky to make it to Demers' status.

    p.s. Its kinda too bad Adonis Stevenson's career took a turn for the worst cause that guy looked like he was going places. Maybe he can get things back on track in a year or so.

    He got stopped by Darnell Boone, who's terrible.
