    And how would that have affected floyd choosing his May 3rd opponent ... Would Floyd had fought Khan instead of Maidana twice????

    His natural athleticism was at a different level. His overall boxing IQ was pretty mediocre, but he could have worked on this instead of drinking and getting high all the time.

    he lacks power as well

    when you struggle with paulie especially when paulie was past his peak(even though paulie was **** even in his prime)

    that says a lot

    :lol: what the ****?
    His lack of movement comes from his poor ring IQ. For years he could just stand infront of his opponents and beat the **** out of them without any issues. Look at what he did to DeMarco and Escobedo.
    He is immensley gifted as an athleted but his boxing ability is mediocre in comparsion.

    :lol: that's why you were agreeing with yourself on multiple accounts. you even placed a comment earlier in that thread that had nothing to do with our argument to try and play it off like you were some random neutral dude.

    Broner's boxing IQ is not that high, that's why he doesn't move a lot and stands in front of his opponents. He clearly lacks experience, but his natural athleticism is off the charts. You could see it in spots against Maidana, especially his countering skills.

    Haha yes it did. Are you going to deny the fact that you were trying to play it off like it wasn't you, and you messaged me later on crying about it. Sonning me? I actually didnt even know who you are till you used your alts to back yourself up, you obviously know me since I've made you my b1tch so many times :lol:.

    Are you dumb? Of course countering has to do with athleticism. Reflexes is part of being athletic, and in spots Broner shows extremely high level countering abilities. And he's also clearly very agile, but he just doesn't use the right movements, and stands in the pocket too much, he could have easily worked on this, but chose to be a party boy/porn star/rapper.

    Broner lacks fluidity. He's a pretty basic fighter who fights decent in defence and fights decent in attack, but if he ever comes up against someone who makes him fight in the transition between both - he loses. Can that be fixed? Maybe, but I doubt it will.

    He'd be a top pound for pound fighter and in line for a Pacquiao fight (assuming politics didn't mess that up). But he didn't and the fact he didn't is a result of a lifetime of choices. A whole Universe of occurrences in fact.

    the words IQ and Broner just don't seem to go well together.

    I disagree completely.
    Broner just is a decent fighter at best. He can beat some pretty good fighters that are not A level material just by using his handspeed and quickness.
    Stepping up to the real championship level and Broner just becomes an opponent out of his element.

    Lets put it this way, a nearly shot version of Ricky Hatton dominated a better version of the Paulie Malignaggi that Broner had so much trouble against. That pretty much tells you the level of fighter Broner is.

    You have to have more than just physical attributes to excel at the highest level in boxing. Broner never has even tasted that level and I doubt seriously that he ever will.

    Skill level and know how is first and foremost in boxing. Having physical advantages on top of that is what makes a fighters job easier.
    Adrian Broner just completely lacks the latter.
