It's more reasonable to like somebody you dont know rather than disliking somebody you dont know..How do you like someone you don't know? Porters english was proper. It would be strange to dislike someone you don't know but that's not what he said.

If we're going to be sticklers about what they say, again, he didn't say hee dislikes him. He said "I don't like him", a direct translation of precise meaning of that statement is I do not get joy from him. That's reasonable to not take joy from someone you don't know. It hits the ear funny but by definition is a reasonable statement. Especially since he qualified it by saying it was because he doesn't know him. The implication there is that he probably would like him if he knew him.It's more reasonable to like somebody you dont know rather than disliking somebody you dont know..How do you like someone you don't know?

Re: Wow.. Porter trying to DUCK Kell Brook already
Porter is just trying to find a bigger opponent in the States to fight to earn as much money as possible whilst he has a belt. He knows that its likely the fight will be in England because it can generate more money and Eddie Hearn will pay a shit load if it goes to purse bids.

Re: Wow.. Porter trying to DUCK Kell Brook already
In Porter's defense, Brook looks to have only fought on this side of the pond once. (3 years ago in jersey). So that could explain the don't know him comment. As far as not deserving to fight him. He's a mandatory so the sanctioning body says different, but to look at it from porters perspective... Brook's lacking a high profile win, a US fan base maybe or some kind of trinket... Things that make this a high profile, money earning fight. It's the sad state of boxing that the boxing organizations have become so money grubbing (wba super super super duper champion, wbc diamond belts, champion emeritus status) that fighters choose to fight for street credit and to collect names rather than titles. It used to be that both the street and the sanctioning bodies had nearly identical rankings.
That being said a champion should defend his title...

Re: Wow.. Porter trying to DUCK Kell Brook already
Lets be honest Ingle fighters have always been a nightmare for anyone to look good against , let alone the fact Brook can fight.
I hate this part of boxing , I just hope the fight goes ahead.

Re: Wow.. Porter trying to DUCK Kell Brook already
my main problem is when fighters say that they will fight the best in their post fight interview but when they get challenged, they say that they dont want to fight certain fighters. i know that brook isnt the top of the division, but currently, he is one of the best people that porter can face at the moment. i think its a good fight to take.
most often in these situations, it seems like the fighter who refuses to fight, ends up taking an easier fight. if porter doesnt fight brook next, i doubt that he is fighting somebody on a higher level.
