"The fight with Crawford was much more difficult than with Spence," admitted Shawn Porter (31-4-1, 17 KOs), who had to deal with both opponents. Two years ago, Porter lost to Errol Spence Jr. (27-0, 21 KOs) on points, and on Saturday - to Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) by TKO in the tenth round.
For months, there has been controversy over who is actually the best welterweight in the world. Crawford (WBO Champion) has a lot of followers, but his problem was that he did not fight with serious opponents, because the best welterweight at the moment are associated with Al Haymon. Therefore, "Bad", whose contract with the promoter organization Top Rank has expired, several tens of hours ago already announced that he would not continue to cooperate with Bob Arum, as he wants to meet with Spence (IBF and WBC champion) and at any cost to unite the three championship belts. Porter, who has dealt with both, has no doubt that Terence is the strongest at welterweights.
“I had twelve rounds with Spence and he was definitely not as cool as Crawford. No one punched me as often as Terence. And no one was as good as he was," Porter said.
