    Broner's problems

    1) Footwork/lateral movement is very poor
    2) Output (maybe hiding stamina issues?)
    3) Attitude. Doesn't live the life, too much partying, clowning, ballooning in weight and believing his own hype.

    This.

    Some of y'all don't understand how fighter development works. Floyd's style/moves were developed from childhood. It's how he learned to fight, and he probably drills more than any other fighter. On top of that, he's had world-class experience with it since he was a teenager.

    So anyone who sees his style and tries to mimic it is missing a lot of the small things that make it effective, foremost being experience/reps/muscle memory.

    Miyamoto Musashi: "Whatever attitude you are in, do not be conscious of adopting the attitude. Think only of cutting."

    ^That applies to boxing more than most coaches/boxers really understand.
