    Without including a resume, think Demetrius is at least a top 5 p4p fighter regarding "skill." Shawn Porter is also a future hall of fame and ATG and arguably the most physical WW in history. Thoughts?

    Andrade's skills are well overrated he would have a few L's on his record by now if he had fought the same calibre of opposition as Porter has.

    Who did Porter beat to qualify him as an all time great?

    Disagree. I don't see Charlo, Hurd, Lara, or Canelo beating him. The only one who would've had a chance is prime GGG due to his ability to cut off the ring and terrific inside game.

    Garcia, Ugas, Broner, Malinaggi, Diaz, Granados, and Berto. If Cotto and Ike are ATGs, so is Porter.

    Could have got the decisions against Spence and Thurman too, but didn't deserve the Ugas one...

    Have no idea what the correlation between beating Granados and ATG status is though :lol:

    I don’t think Cotto, Ike or Porter are all time greats but we are all entitled to our opinions.

    I went back and watched both fights and Spence and Thurman had the cleaner shots and more shots landed against Porter than vice versa. I had it 8-4 for Thurman and 8-4 for Spence(including knockdown). I had Ugas winning 9 to 3 against Porter (at minimum).

    Ugas beat him clearly. Spence and Thurman got very close decisions that could have gone either way.
