Since we have not seen Broner's solution to relentless pressure since the PDL fight, we have to lean Valero. I can't see how PDL can do anything Valero can't. Valero, IMHO, brought more to the table skill and power. Broner has more upside though.
I wouldn't call what happened in the PDL fight "relentless pressure". What I saw in that fight was a fighter (Broner) being a deer in headlights on the "Big stage" for the first time. Broner was overly cautious, chose to used the ring more and never really attempted to engage. Now he is willing to engage and even take some shots in the process, just to land, hurt and finish his opponents. If the question is Valero vs Broner (of the PDL fight) then the answer is easy...Valero. But a bigger, more confident, more mature (in the ring at-least) and more powerful Broner of Today.... "The Problem". ALL DAY - ERRR DAY.
If Broner didn't much care for what Ponce brought to the table, he's really not gonna like Valero on his ass. At LW or anywhere below Valero by KO, anything above that I'd probably take Broner.
So far I would have to say that power really bothers Broner and Valero had buckets of it. Put Broner in with someone who doesn't have that one and done power and he's a beast. I'm not saying he can't take a shot, he can handle a fighter with decent power. It's just the really hard hitters like PDL and double that for Valero that put him on his bike. Can't say that I blame him.
I'm guessing now we have confirmation Broner has a glass chin, you are all picking Valero by KO? :think
:roll: Please, as if Sugar Nick in spite of his greatness could stand up to the tumultuous power of some one of Kovalev caliber. :yep
