    I was wondering the same thing. I would have figured they would have been challenging top contenders or at least making some noise by now.

    I honestly figured that they had some stuff to work on before they got him to the next level so they had taken him out of the spot light or something. Didn't realize he had a shitty promotional situations. Thanks for the info. Hope he can sort that **** out.

    I doubt he signs with Top Rank. All they have at Welterweight is Pac and Bradley. Porter won't fight Pac because he's cool with Roach. Bradley isn't a big name and after he gets destroyed by Pac. He'll probably be dropping back to Light Welter.

    Add to the fact that Top Rank fighters only fight Top Rank fighters. So no way he's gonna get to fight guys like Berto, Ortiz, Alexander, Floyd, etc.

    Porter realized he is a sparring partner after Jordan took his soul in Cleavland.
