    This is bronzers retirement fight plain and simple, I hope he’s been saving those checks cause he’s about to be as broke as Allen Iverson

    I also don't think Broner had anywhere near the potential of Toney. I guess what I was trying yo say was that their grit in the ring - say what you want about Broner but he's hung tough in one sided losses it would of been easy for him to quit in a couple of times- wasn't matched but their attitudes to conditioning.

    Broner ain’t a quitter you are certainly right about that and he does have a chin for sure. Yeah I guessed that’s the point you was tryna make, I cant disagree with that.

    This is a clear bias, one thing Broner doesn't lack in the ring is heart.
    Regardless of whether you like the guy personally or not, he's tough
    and takes punishment and wont fold.

    You are right that he doesn't have the mentality to win however.
    Broner isn't active enough in fights to beat Manny, and despite the
    fact that he could do so successfully, he doesn't move his feet enough
    to box w/Manny. The issue is that he plants in front of opponents and throws counters and hooks.
    This is disastrous against Manny (even an old one). Broner will lose a wide decision while
    throwing and landing the occasional eye catching shot.

    Rooting for the Pacman and I think he can legit win it, but he looked so slow against Horn that I think your 70% might be generous and ultimately, you could be spot on. Broner does have stones, a chin and can throw a nice, short, counter right. It's an interesting matchup.

    War Pacman! :ggg

    If Broner does not TKO Pacman in the first 3 rounds then he will be taken out in later rounds by the PACMAN.
    Pacman has the heart of a TIGER that will make the difference in this whole fight.

    Broner's shape and demeanor at the press conference show he is totally done, even Manny had to laugh!
    Broner knows he's in for a dressing down, just looking for that cheque. AB?? Absolute B0llocks...

    Unless Pac has slipped even more, then he should win this one pretty much in cruise control. Broner is either lazy or just doesn't understand how to pace himself over 12 rounds, as he's a terribly slow starter. He has come on strong late in quite a few of his fights, but it's always been too little too late and unless Pac completely gasses out late, I don't think Broners power is anything remotely close to being enough to stop Pacman. I wont be too shocked to see Pacquiao knock him out late rounds after putting a beating on him.

    Broner might be one of those Un-KOable dudes like JMM. Maidana hurt him badly, but couldn't put him away. Safe to say Maidana hits a lot harder than Pacquiao, but Pacquiao's punches are just as effective due to the angles and speed.

    Pacman is a legend, but I also really like Broner.
    Im surprised so many people are pulling for Broner. I guess people dont ever learn. I do.
    Broner is going to lose a close fight as he always does against higher quality opponents.

    With the right training camp I think Pacman can hurt him. Broner lets himself get outworked. Pac should be able to expose that even more.

    We'll see just how far off Pacman is at this stage. Thats for sure.

    I'd love Pac to stop him but yeah the kid is certainly tough. Not sure Maidana hits harder though, certainly has more weight behind his shots but he's always struck me as a grind em down kinda guy. Pac for me might not be as heavy handed but puts his shots together so well and like you say those angles.

    AB will see the final bell and lose.
    Even this PAC is too fast and slick for the inactive puncher that AB has become since Maidana cracked him open
    I will say AB has a heck of a chin
