    Cut off both of Duran's arms, and Broner's chances grow to about 2%.

    At 135, the Ken Buchanan/Dejesus II version of Duran presses the issue to the point Broner gets worn down from running and exchanges KOed by the 10th.

    At 147, Broner may land a few showy punches every now and then, but as Duran warms up to the hunt, he continues to force Broner to the ropes and forces exchanges. Duran gets the better of these exchanges and this is cycle until the final bell or late stoppage. Either way it is Duran.

    I find that threads like these bring the family together after years of arguments.

    I wouldn't either. And saying he would go six might be too long. Broner?? I mean put someone in there like Porter at least. He could not beat Duran, but Porter is a real fighter who has commitment to the sport.

    I'd love to see this fight....Mostly because it'd be funny watching Broner's pop brushing his son's hair as part of that lame routine of theirs while he's knocked spark out on the canvass.

    No Mas part 2
    Broner wins with 25 mph
    No way Duran can hit a determined Broner. The ring is to wide giving Broner the advantage.

    The difference between Duran and Broner is Duran can brag all day and still do everything he said he was gonna do.
