    I worry about a guy who is already 27 and is a "prospect" in this sport.. shows a very late start, and not a lot of time to left to really improve. It can happen, but it's rare a guy is going to fix really ****ed up things at this point in their career.

    Bad habits are hard enough to change at 19-21.. let alone 27.

    If you have a nice long amateur career it's not impossible. Nate Campbell started boxing a 29 without any amateur career and become a champion

    Its just slower nowdays. Unless you go and get the gold at the olympics you are gonna be built slowly. There just isnt enough resources in boxing for top prospects to get fights early.

    Porter has talent but if he doesn't get with a real trainer within the next year or two he's going to be ruined. I haven't seen Solomon fight, so with only Jones and Porter to choose from I'll pick Mike Jones.







    WHO?

    gotta go with who?? MIKE JONES!! on this one. physically imposing, great speed, high work rate and tenacious. but the thing he's got going for him really is his focus, the guy is a gym rat and treats his boxing career like a regular 9-5. thats a quality in most prospects thats hard to come by, but then again not many prospects are former home depot workers lol.

    That being said, I like Porter as well, don't know much about the other cat.
