Another ''Young & Hungry Champion'' for Mayweather jr to hype up again. :deal

His team knows when to fight these ''Champions''......... Porter has been exposed in the past.

Mayweather will have a size advantage against Shawn Porter, who isn't that great just because he stopped a PAST HIS PRIME Malignaggi.

Mayweather will have lots advantages over Porter, but size aint one (no pun intended). Porter fought as high as Super Middleweight, most of his fight were in Middleweight & Junior Middleweight.

Frame wise they are almost equal, physically Porter is stronger.

it is a shame that fights cannot be made like in the fab 4 era. Are you aware that Hearns,Duran Leonard,Benitez, all fought each other within 4 years. Elite fighters fighting each other. It was not hard to make the fights. Ray and Benitez fight Nov. 1979, Ray fights Duran June and Nov. 1980, Hearns fights Ray Sept 1981, Duran fights Benitez, Jan .1982 Hearns fights Benitez Dec 1982 and Hearns fights Duran June of 1984. 7 fights in just 4 years. if you add in Hagler, 10 fights in 7 years, add Cueves in there and 12 fights made in 7 years, Cuevas fighting Hearns and Duran in 1980 and 1983.

That is promoting the big fights for the fans..making the fights. Imagine if we would not have had those fights at that time, the fab 4 era would not be as great. My point? The promoters are hurting boxing by not making fights. Who cares if promoters don't like each other. That is their problem. We want the fights as fans. It is about boxing and not them and their money.. If elites of 30 years ago could fight all the greats, why can't guys now fight? Not to compare Chavez and GGG to legends like Duran or Hearns, but that GGG vs. Chavez fight should happen. If it does not happen because of promotion, that is a shame.

It is truly amazing how degraded the sport has become.
