    Broner is fairly boring, and he's not very impressive at it either. It's not like he's a Calderon or a Mijares type who have such fluidity about them that they don't really have to take risks, they can just outsmart their opponents easily without making things too entertaining. Broner always seems on edge, he's not naturally boring, he just fights that way because he almost seems worried half the time. Superior boxers to him would exploit his deficiencies I think. Which is why he's lucky to be residing in a none too steller division.

    He needs to loosen up, because I think he could be a really effective boxer-puncher as opposed to a tentative, uncomfortable looking counter-puncher. He's relying on his athletic gifts too much instead of building on them.

    He's almost in the Devon Alexander mould in the way that he does that irritating shouting after every punch he throws, despite the fact that the vast majority don't land, it seems to make some people(including judges, it seems) think he's more accurate than he actually is.

    In reality, he gets spoken of as some kind of special talent but thus far he hasn't really shown anything yet to suggest that, getting an undeserved decision against a, granted, very much improved Ponce de Leon, but also one who was out of his natural weight class, and is extremely easy to beat to the the punch, doesn't exactly make me all that optimistic. The fact that he was at times getting well outboxed by DPDL is quite appalling for a supposed 'world class' fighter, 21 years old or not.

    I don't particularly rate Litzau either, he's just a pretty average fighter all round, with a spoiling style and a poor chin. Broner caught him in the first and took him out, the manner in which he did it was impressive, but, contrary to what many believe, it wasn't against exactly stellar opposition to be blunt.

    That said, I do think he probably has the mobility to beat Burns if the fight does in fact come off. Burns looks like he could be a light-welter, but Broner has actually fought at light-welter(as far as I know), so aside from slight height and reach advantages, I don't think there's a mass size disparity between them that favours Burns.

    And I don't believe the slight advantage in length Burns has would give him any great benefit, as it will in all likelihood be Broner that circles, and he's not one who tries to measure range, more one to just throw fast punches in greater volume to his adversary and get out of there, he's too safety orientated IMO to just rush in and leave himself open. He isn't a particularly smart fighter, but I just think by virtue of the way he fights he could offset Burns' rhytym.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens if/when this fight comes off anyways.

    I'd pick Broner, as he's my 2011 prospect of the year (hope the Burns fight happens in the calendar 2012 year so Broner can win some PotY awards/nominations). However, Ricky Burns is no bum like you guys say. I think Burns too is legit.
