If Broner let his hands go how good could he be?

Not sure, you let your hands go, you get hit more. Does he have the stamina/chin to sustain a high workrate? One thing forsure though, if Broner stayed at 135, and was disciplined he would have been the top dog at 135 for a long time. He would have destroyed the likes of Linares, Easter, etc.

 

B+ level maybe.
He would take on some KO losses above 140 then, that's almost a given.

Funnier thing would be speculating how his career would have went if h had been Adrien Bronera from Spain. Would he have won more as a single belt in that case?!

 

Jesus Christ.

 

This is silly. Broner is in shape for all his fights. He just isnt elite.

 

People who say this have zero understanding of boxing. Broner actually does let his hands go, he also gets hit back. If he let his hands go any more against pac he would have gotten flattened.

 

He'd be really good...if he were a seek and destroy swarmer, he'd really be a problem.

 

he is not that good. i repeat, HE IS NOT THAT GOOD! he was getting outboxed by b level fighters even when he was suppose to be this killer at the lighter weights. i have been saying how overated he was since he was a super feather, but you cant speak sense to fanboys with agendas.

 

Who? I thought he beat Ponce in a close one, that was the only fight he looked really bad in. He completely destroyed Demarco. Who at 135 would beat him besides Mikey/Loma? Also Broner at 135 was better than the Broner that fought Mikey, let's say Broner continued to improve post-Demarco, he could be right up there with those guys. Instead he moved up to 147, looked **** and got worse every fight.

 

wasnt ponce enough to tell you how good he could box, and how much of his success was based on size?

 

Bro c'mon man, you know Ponce in his prime was just awkward and weird. Let's also not act like Ponce was some bum. I agree a lot of his success at 130 was due to size, but he wasn't a massive 135 pounder man. That is his natural weight class. I still would favor Mikey over him at 135 even if he continued to improve, but who beats Broner besides Mikey/Loma at 135?

 

Maybe Broner inherited his dad's gas tank
Casual fans will not be buying AB's next PPV though.
Broner would've gotten more respect if he went out on his shield.
That tulip toes bs was not working on 40 year old Pac, should've tried exchanging fire imo.

 

Broner's career ended after Maidana. I was a fool to pick him against Porter, I was just a fan for such a long time, after Porter I gave up all hope.

 

Every fighter is gonna have their "if's" but rarely will there ever be an applicable solution to those so why focus on them. Broner is who he is as a person and fighter and its probably much too late for him to change for the better in that regard, so just take him, rate him, critique him, and quantify him as he is.

 

Agreed. I think it was the sex drugs & rock n roll
Broner was on a rap tour right before Maidana & clearly on drugs/horrible diet.
That Broner-Maidana (bloated Broner) press conference is a spectacle

I thought Porter-Broner was terrible though. At least Broner scored that KD not many can deck Porter
