It's now undeniable that Broner is a better fighter than Valero. Much more rounded, just as powerful (maybe moreso considering he took out Demarco quicker with less punches and actually dropped him), just as quick, far better defensively, physically stronger, equal chin, better infighter.... You name it, at 22 Broner just surpassed Valero's career best win and did it in more impressive fashion vs a better more seasoned version of Demarco. I would love to see Broner dismantle Rios in his first fight at 140 after decimating Burns in a few rounds. Rios would get beaten so badly especially after Broner proved he's got an inside game, what could Rios possibly do? Funny how before the fight Demarco was considered the best LW by many and people were saying he was gonna give him a tough fight and now he's being written off as bum hahaha Broners one of those guys that some people will never give him credit no matter what they'll always look for ways to discredit him on his inevitable rise to face of boxing and the upper echelon of the P4P list.
How the **** is he more powerful? and as for being as tough, had a young DeMarco left a crater like that in Broners crown early on, Broner would have cried his way to the locker room
Valero was overrated? Maybe. But I can say the same about Broner. His fanboys are saying he's more exciting and better than Floyd because he knocks people out. In that sense Broner's overrated. Valero's critics don't consider what he could've accomplished had his career been prolonged. They focus too much on what he never had. The guy showed improvements in the Demarco fight. Who knows what he could've done at 140...147. If today's Broner were to fight the Valero who beat Demarco, I believe it'd be like a mini version of Pac-Floyd. To me that's a toss-up fight. Either Broner cruises to a UD or Valero outworks him and knocks him out late.
I still think valero hits harder and he's also more slick. If you compare the punchstats, valero actually landed less power shots and was also hit less by demarco. Broner was more accurate but his work rate was lower. I think valero's chin is worse than broners though, cause he's been shaken by punches and dropped before.
ok instead of being bitter ***gots that are mad about Broner taking over boxing, how bout you tell me why Broner beat a better version of Demarco with greater ease, throwing less punches and actually knocing him down?? Also why don't you tell me what Valero does better than Broner? Valero never did **** but KO a buncha tomato cans. most overrated fighter ever, he woulda got picked apart by the likes of Marquez or Broner- he was one dimensional and his best win just got one upped by a 23 year old. boom
He was over-rated, but you could tell DeMarco feared him much more than he did Broner, which is what done him in ironically vs Broner
I have to agree that Broner looked better against DeMarco and that I would favor him against Valero. That said Valero had a style that Broner hasn't faced. Exactly in the DeMarco fight he employed and in and out tactic that I think would bother Broner. The thing is that he is absolutely huge at 135 and very good which a deadly combination at that weight.
im not sure what you mean by that, i think demarco came in confident in both fights and then when he started tasting their power he got a bit discouraged after a few rounds, also not being able to hit broner added to that frustration. it's undeniable that broner ****ed him worse, Demarco looked in worse shape, got rocked more and actually got KD'd vs Broner plus stopped earlier with fewer punches.....if that's not proof of at least equal power to valero than I dunno what is....you can't use Valero's KO streak vs tomato cans as proof of anything, use the one decent fighter he fought to be the gauge and that was Demarco.
