    Khan vs porter never seems to get mentioned .he doesn't seem want brook fight and can see Manny fight not happening due to both wanting crazy money . Khan vs porter. Winner face winner of Spence vs Thurman then winner face Crawford hahaha can only dream

    Porter does pretty well for someone who apparently is the worst boxer in the world ? 2 times world champion I bet there are a lot of boxers who dream about being be so bad !

    Exactly. Thread starter simply doesnt like him therfore he is the worst boxer ever lol.

    Just cos a fighters style isn't what you like it doesn't make them the worst boxer!

    Credit to him for being a 2 time champion but his style is awful to watch. Horrible is putting it lightly.

    Thank you very much ,that is what i was getting at...Obviously calling him the worlds worst ' boxer' was hyperbole on my part but at the time i watched a number of fights of his and the only 'boxing skills' he was showing was bumrushing and headbutting and clinching it was dreadful....In fact there was at least one fight i thought he needed DQing.....That said he has improved a bit and credit for taking on all comers but i would not watch him if he was boxing in my back yard....

    Wrong .....I thought his style was a crime to the sweet science ...Obviously too short for 147 so using his head and elbows to level it up...

    Kell Brook gave him a big dose of his own medicine and he hated it ...Thats how everyone else feels fighting him

    I also don’t enjoy watching his style but it’s effective against the right opponent. Was totally ineffective against Kell. A hard hitting accurate strong counterpunching WW will always have his number. Spence would beat him for sure. Remember even Broner put him on his arse and could have done that earlier if he threw and took more risks.

    I am sure he had a couple of gifts too....I always thought he had been quite lucky on the way to the Brook fight but at the time the media were calling him Mini Mike Tyson and everyone fell for it...i think i got 4/1 or more on Brook.

    yeah Spence and Crawford deal with porter quite easily. Just think Garcia doesn't hit hard enough at 147. Would love see Thurman Spence Crawford against 1 another. How stacked is 147 crazy good
