    Broner has one advantage. Size due to his stockier frame.

    That's it. He gets laid out. Big difference in class.

    I can see Rosario knocking Broner out, for all his speed and natural ability, Broner makes a lot of mistakes in the ring(like the poor imitation of Mayweathers defense style) if he did that against any decent lightweight 20 yrs ago or before he would have a serious long evening (or short lol) and Rosario was better then decent.

    The irony is, we are in maybe the worst LW era in history, it is absolutely dog ****.

    If Broner was disciplined enough he could dominate the division today and rack up enough mid level victories to be considered a great himself.

    Instead he jumped up seeking quick returns and got bullied by men with much lesser attributes.

    Yeah it really is the weakest lightweight era since I can think of. Lightweight, Middleweight, and Heavyweight are historically very poor at the moment.

    The middleweight division may be historically weak along with most other divisions But don't blame GGG for this. He has obliterated every MW he has fought and it is not GGG's fault boxing and the MWS today are so lacking skills
    of past generations...After overpowering his victims by ko, what more could Golovkin do ?. Kill them ?. I have been accused of favoring the great era's of my youth, the 1940s and 1950s, but in GGG my gut feeling tells me he belongs
    H2H with most any middleweight since Harry Greb...Sue me...

    Broner would never be considered a great fighter under any surcumstances. The historians would never allow it. Even if he dominated a poor lightweight division for ten years he would still be way down on the list of great lightweights. HOF maybe, but a great, no chance. It would take a tremendously poor lightweight division for him to dominate. He's pretty **** tbh. I called it years ago. He's like a garbage version of James Toney.

    Dominating a division = ATG.

    Broner gets underrated, probably due to his abrasive personality. I can't stand him, but he's better than given credit for. He's by far a better boxer than Rosario, but Edwin has that right hand...tougher fight to call than I has expected. Broner can win this, you know...

    Not if the opposition is **** poor.

    Broner has proved he can be outfought and out boxed by B class opposition. Broner as a boxer is vastly overrated. His abrasive personality is the only thing putting him in the limelight.

    Rosario almost KO'd and arguably beat a prime Camacho who had more talent in his little finger than Broner has EVER had.
