    He jumped 2 weight classes and look like **** against the cherry picked, feather fisted, past prime Paulie M. I dont rate Broners ability that high never mind his resume.

    Paulie is the one that looked like shi.t

    You better not be a fan of GGG if that's your take on Broner.:lol:

    He can but he really needs to work on his discipline stop trying to be Floyd

    For example he basically giving away rounds against Rees and showboating Mayweather (his idol) would have never done that you do not give away rounds in boxing at all.

    The more I see of Broner the more I see a distance from Mayweather in terms of in ring skill. It almost reminds me of Kobe from 96-99 trying to be like Jordan until Kobe just became himself eventually hopefully it happens with Broner.

    Too flat-footed, and he doesn't live the boxing life outside the ring.

    He's good enough to get in the P4P list but number 1? I dont think so

    How would he manage to jump over Andre Ward?

    Don't bet too much...he's already 31.

    Broner is 23 and making way more than GGG...has titles in more division.

    GG has a looong way to go catch Broner.

    Paulie is past his best. Broner is prime.

    Broner cherry picked him for an easy title and was supposed to swoop in a dish out a dominant beating. never happened.

    Broner was exposed as being pretty ordinary actually. he looks like **** unless they walk straight in front of him.

    he cannot fight on the front foot. we've seen this a few times now.

    so it's not long until he gets beaten. word. :lol:

    Everybody likes to say he's too flat-footed..
    It's called STAYING IN THE POCKET:hi:

    Broner doesn't waste movement by hopping around the ring..his footwork is excellent.

    So who's going to keep Broner moving?

    Maidana:lol:

    Fu.ck is wrong with you?

    Broner has never fought at 140 and only once at 135:deal

    Other notable names that have "cherrypicked" Paul Malinaggi are:
    Miguel Cotto
    Amir Khan
    Ricky Hatton
    Juan Diaz

    All that cherrypicking..

    where did i mention Maidana? :lol: i'd like to see the fight, yes. Maidana would be right in front of Broner but would he be able to take the power of Marcos?
    hopefully we find out. Maidana has a lot of heart to deal with so it'll tell us a lot more about Broner.

    Malignaggi was in his prime back then. not when Broner took him on. :deal
