    We can't get carried away with Porter.

    He's very good on the inside, but even then sometimes his punch accuracy can be a bit weak, and on the outside, he's not as good. Paulie was using his jab relatively well, but then Porter disrespected Paulie's power and went for the charge.

    porter really improved his game . i remember watching a little while back an his skills are night an day now. he really improved over the years.

    i really wanna see this kell brook guy fight some one. and i hope porter will fight brook even though brook hasnt really done anything but beat a solid fighter in carson jones. other then those couple wins his resume doesnt really justify him gettin a chance at porters belt.

    but with that being said i still wanna see kell brook in a big fight. and im pickin porter to win that as well.

    Is this the same Porter that people was hating on six months ago to a year ago. Nothing has changed, he fought the same way then as he does now. Oh, it must be because he steamrolled Paulie's ass. I have always liked him but he can't do that to every welter out there. Thurman will tear his ass up. Swift is moving to 147 and that would be a good fight, along with Maidana and possibly Lucas M. I think he would beat Broner and any welter at Top Rank.

    Paulie had a better jab.
    The reason Porter's jab worked so well, was that he threw double and triple jabs and followed up with hard stuff.
    Paulie couldnt counter because of the incoming hard shots of Porter behind his jab.
    He executed well.

    Shawn Porter is the future of Boxing .

    I dont see many fighters beating him .

    If Garcia moves up and fights him , he will lose .

    Now Thurman on the other hand , Now thats when things start to get interesting .

    TBH I dont know anything about Diaz . Is he really a formidable opponent for Thurman ?

    Because The only time ive seen Thurman truly tested was against Diego Gabriel Chaves .
