    Porter doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Curry.

    But alot of Americans are looking at him as the next big thing hes unbeaten and just like Curry seems to be looking past this fight at the big $'s (Porter-Mayweather) (Curry-Hearns)

    Its not on those levels, I think Brook is better than Porter and will control fight with an iron jab and lots of lateral movement. He should follow Joe Calzaghe's example v Lacy. I think Porter will come forward flat footed straight lines, Brook does a Calzaghe on him he wins with plenty to spare.

    Couldn't agree more. Curry was P4P #1 and Poter isnt even top 5 in his division, hence if Kell wins he wont be 'the world champion' as Eddie Hearn will no doubt tells us over and over again, the clown.

    Ha, comparing Shawn Porter to Don Curry!? Curry had the sharpest shots I've ever seen and nobody thought he'd ever lose.

    Porter is still a bit of an unknown quantity and quite cumbersome. Maybe another Lacy?

    not comparing Shawn Porter to Don Curry on ability just the feel of the fight it has a Curry vs Honeyghan feel to it

    No way are the two comparable. Not sure what the betting odds are over the US, but assume Porter would be a slight favourite? I doubt too many will be totally shocked if Brook wins.
