Broner does have the skills but not as good and skillful as Floyd and not as smart too. Floyd has that quick gliding footwork, fast body feinting twitch and overall smarts, reach and height and superior defense that made JMM not land anything on Floyd. Broner does not have the quick gliding in and out footwork like Floyd, he doesn't have the reach and height advantage that Floyd had vs JMM. He doesn't feint as good and body twitch as good as Floyd. The only thing Broner has that is similar to Floyd is that watered down Philly Shell Defense and that high guard and a lil power and speed. So tell me, how does Broner make it an easy work vs JMM?
I dont think it is. Broner is good but from fighting Paulie or Demarco to one of the best Mexican fighters ever is a HUGE STEP!! Can i see broner winning?? Yeah. but i can see him losing. i think very very close fight. JMM will counterpunch him very good and has the power to hurt him.
PLEASE.... Broner does not have nearly as good defense as Floyd, doubt me? Go check how much he gets hit and get back to me. Also, Broner does not have the key footwork to make JMM lose balance all night long. JMM could very likely stop him.
I would be interested in hearing JMM's comments after this fight. What separates Mayweather and Broner ability wise
Ydksab, he was out worked, not out boxed, ponce barely landed a head shot on Broner, uneducated "boxing fans" swear that pdl dominated Broner, body shots that don't land doesn't win fights, Broner won with clean effective punching, deal with it...
Easy work? No - because, and this should be obvious, Floyd is in a completely different class to Broner. He's so much better that a comparison is ****ing preposterous.
Marquez actually hit Floyd fairly frequently, he did not win rounds but look at replays Floyd got hit quite a bit.
He says that about a lot of people but dodges every threat at 140 by jumping to 147 for an alphabet title. I can't stand this guy. It's the same **** Jones used to pull, saying stuff like "Michalczewski would be an easy fight, Rocchigiani would be an easy fight" and yet he NEVER ACTUALLY FOUGHT them. Broner will never fight Marquez, he doesn't want any of that.
Broner can beat him now, but only because Marquez is 40 and was at his best at 126-130. Marquez is the #2 WW, there's no doubt about that and he proved it by knocking Pacquiao's lights out cold. But I think Broner would just have too much offense, too big, too much power and won't miss Marquez. I would love for Marquez to knock him out though. Marquez's chances against Bradley are a lot better, despite me thinking Bradley is better than Broner and would actually beat Broner I think. The thing is, Bradley's lack of power makes the Marquez fight interesting. If Bradley had good power, there's no way i'd give Marquez a chance. I'm rooting for Marquez against Bradley, and would root for him against Broner too if that fight ever happened.
This kid's got a bigass mouth for the caliber of opponents he's facing. Face someone like Alexander or Matthysse/Garcia and then we'll start evaluating him properly
