Mayweather destroys Broner at 130, he is more athletic than Broner and definitely more active inside that ring. Mayweather is the originator of that style of boxing while broner is just a copy, Mayweather Jr. is levels above Broner when it comes to ring I.Q. he thinks quicker, you can tell that just by hearing them respond to questions when interviewed, Mayweather is the faster thinker of the two, do not let the similarities in style confuse you.
Mayweather would dominate Broner at 130lb, dominate him. Mayweather was a truly special fighter at that weight, a good couple of levels above anything Broner has shown so far. Just imagine what Floyd would have done to Ponce De Leon at that weight, even though Broner has definetly improved since that fight it shows the levels in difference between them were dealing with IMO
Floyd makes Broner miss and pay for his mistakes. Just saw his post fight interview; Broner is not as good in that department either. His gimmicks are lame and disgusting ( toilet pics) Floyd was just operating at higher plateau.Floyd was a not only more athletic but he was also smarter in the ring. This kid is basically a copy cat.
At 21-22 years of age, Mayweather is beating up the likes of Genaro Hernandez and Corrales, both future hofs in a devastating fashion, while Broner struggles with a plodder like Ponce de Leon, the same guy who got whipped easy by Gamboa. Now tell me who wins.
It'll be interesting to see whether aping Mayweather's style will continue to be a successful strategy for Broner. We've seen plenty of fighters try to copy others (possibly without understanding why said fighter fights that way) and lose when placed in a challenging situation they weren't prepared for.
