    Looking at Crawford & Gamboa last night I wonder whether Broner would not have had his own way if he stayed at 135

    Who wins?

    Now that's a fight.

    Could Broner make 135lbs?

    It would be two big lightweights. Crawford is more skilled in my view and has a much better defense than Broner.

    I'd like to pick Crawford but Broner may be too strong physically. I could see this fight happening at LWW.

    Not sure we can go off the back of the Gamboa fight to compare what would happen with Broner.. Gamboa was much smaller where's Broner would be much much physically stronger.

    Aye? But Broner also throws about 4 punches a round and just tucks up (tries to) til he gets into range. Crawford fought a more wild much more unorthodox fighter on Saturday, and handled him very well. Crawford would win, but maybe get put down twice.

    Yep. #glassjaw #shambles

    One thing with ESB it may be limited but least it's still here. CHB take note :deal.

    Crawford walks through Broner and stops him in the mid rounds, not even close in my opinion, class operator v slow overrated plodder.

    Crawford, easily. Way more dimensionality.

    Broner is a show pony, and can probably look flashier than Crawford doing certain things (mostly useless, in practical terms) but he would damn sure lose h2h.

    Crawford would box Broner's head clean off.

    Broners a beast at LW and would be totally dominating the division if he was still there. Midget Gamboa had Crawford out on his feet, Broner would overpower and stop him

    Be a great fight, slightly favour Broner at this stage, a bit to strong

    Broner at 135 is a beast.
