    Alexander has punching power, and is a slick boxer, and porter walked him down, and almost dropped him earlier on. I think the praise he is getting is well deserved. He should fight Thurman or kel and if victorious in one or both then call out Floyd. I would be hyped

    I thought Porter looked excellent in his win over Alexander. Just IMO. Sorry if I don't go overboard on a single win like many on this forum do.

    I also felt Paulie was a good 1st title defense. Experienced boxer who has been in with some of the top guys. Blasting him out in 4 rounds is impressive, as Malignaggi has never been beat down like that. Not even Cotto beat him down that badly and viciously.

    Still waiting for more, but I like what I see from Porter so far.

    I think its the first time Paulie has been KO'D rather than TKO'D or simply stopped. He was stopped on his feet against Hatton and Khan if i'm not mistaken

    I don't believe Porter is a GBP fighter. He's a Haymon fighter though.

    I've heard that as well. I also heard that Porter wants a fight with Pacquiao. It'd be interesting to see if Haymon would be willing to do business with Arum if the Porters insisted. I could see a scenario, especially if Mayweather doesn't really show much interest in fighting him. I think that would definitely be an exciting fight. Ken Porter (his father) seems like a guy that won't settle for less.
