How do you think Tank would have handled Broner who fought at Super FW/LW ? Let's say the Broner that fought Litzau or DeMarco. Rewatching Broner's early fights it really is a shame how much talent was wasted. He really looked elite level in his fight against DeMarco. IMO I think that Broner would have given Tank some huge problem, no pun intended.
So many great fighters (not calling Broner great), had tough fights with top contenders and even journeymen. Some even lost to them. Broner was very skilled and entertaining when he was on his job.
To be fair, that was Broner's first step up in comp. And lets no sell Ponce De Leon short, he was tough and could punch. Lost mainly to top guys.
Broner. At 5’6” 130-135 Adrien Broner with his thick neck and head, had an great chin. Davis on the other hand was struggling against Santa Cruz, who fought his career at lower weights, until his power bailed him out. Taking that approach against someone fast and powerful as Broner was, before he became a meme, would be suicide.
Didn't suggest he did that. Just said it was a step up for Broner at the time. De Leon wasn't some scrub, so no shame in not looking like SRR against him.
