    probably some of the best combination punchers in the sport when they let their hands go.

    This is the one thing that I believe Broner is better at. His combination punching is absolutely class. Mayweather trumps him everywhere else, even speed..yes, even speed.

    Gotta agree with anj here, Broner punches with more ferocity and he will get you outta there when he's ready too.

    No slight too Floyd, but Broner does put them together very nicely.

    Anybody that says Broner has probably only seen Floyd in the last few years, where's become basically a pot shotter.

    Floyd in his early 20's was easily a better combo puncher than Broner, and MUCH faster of both hand and foot.

    Floyd is a pretty good combination puncher when he let his hands go but why use a gif where he is just wildly missing? does not do his case much justice......
    I would still pick Broner in this case though he just seems more natural at it, Floyds accuracy drops off significantly once he stops doing single shots.

    Floyd in his early years could string amazing combinations together

    Floyd was better, by far, plus his accuracy is still better. But to be fair, Broner has more power at the weight, so it doesn't take as many shots but he really could improve on his accuracy.

    Younger Floyd was better but has turned into a one and done puncher lately. JMM is a better combo puncher than both though.

    Young Floyd could put em together better by a margin.

    Floyd has done it against better opposition.

    Broner's also putting on 15 lbs after the weigh in. He's much bigger physically than a lot of his opponents.
