    People forget one important thing, if Porter had the same handlers as Canelo, he’d be 34-0 and would have wins over Garcia, Thurman, Brook, Spence, Malignaggi etc. In boxing marketability is everything, Porter is not marketable, if he was he’d be p4p top 3 on everyone’s lists like Canelo is with so many fights that should have gone against him

    Don’t need to baby as a man deeply versed in the game and having achieved things in the game. You need to re-read it though because you failed the Margacheato case study assignment.

    Tony has been proven innocent so many times but you Mayweather Maniacs keep harping on about it for one reason only ??
    Tony was the guy that proved to the world what a snivelling coward your idol was.He merely walked up to him & asked him politely " Why wont you fight me " ?? Fluffy went hysterical blabbering like Daffy Duck on crack till he eventually lost control of his bowels ROFLMAO Fluffy was TERRIFIED of Tony. Was great to see the self proclaimed Best Ever made a laughing stock of. People know the truth they've seen Tony exonerated & Mayweather exposed for the coward we all knew he was
    Ive been in the game over 35 yrs myself how bout you ??

    I can see porter swarming guys that are tactical boxers with some success, but I cant see him out swarming a swarmer with the height, physicality and work rate of margarito. Margarito is a hard one to judge though because after the scandal he didnt look the same, although he did trouble cotto again in the second fight and manny went life and death with him despite what the scorecards indicated. All that being said porter sometimes looks too urgent in there, everyone he has fought has had a tough night with him, but it looks like he gives up technique with his urgency. I really cant see margarito wilting under that pressure. I think porter would make it competitive for the first half of the fight, but the latter rounds would look one sided as margarito picked up momentum. That's just my opinion.

    Margarito (with the bricks in his hands) would beat Porter like a dam dog.

    Porter and Margarito have a similar style but Margarito is more stupid than Porter in terms of blocking punches with his face. Fighters who fight like that cannot continue to fight for a long period of time. A brain damage is more likely to be a serious consequence for them. Porter vs Margarito could be a war because they both are real brawlers. Margarito has physical advantages over Porter while the latter has a better stamina than the former. Porter wins by a slight margin.

    People musta forgot how dangerous Margarito was in his prime. He would beat the living daylights out of Porter.

    He was definitely the number 1 Welter at the time. That's not my opinion that's how he was ranked

    Porter would likely try to up his volume to keep up w/ Margarito, which would be a mistake. Porter doesn't have the discipline to stick to his own game plan IMO. MArgarito UD
