  • Deep division - Porter doesn’t benefit from being in arguably boxing’s deepest division. Were he not at Welterweight, he could potentially be a division’s #1, but with Keith Thurman (who holds a 2016 win over Porter), Errol Spence, and Terence Crawford around, he has to settle for being ranked #4 on the Ring Magazine list.
