    It's amazing just how much Broner's stock has plummeted in recent times.

    Bingo. He has potential, but hasn't corrected his weakness. Broner got way to overhyped for his own good. Primarily because the way he talks.

    No he can't, and no he hasn't. And is Crawford not hittable also? For all that Head movement he takes his fair share.

    And yes. All Crawford has is a jab, and the ability to switch stance. Name me a fight in which Crawford won by doing anything other than jabbing, and moving?

    I'm not saying that is a bad thing, but don't pump him up as this infinitely skilled fighter when we have only seen him fight one way.

    I have seen Broner do it all in the ring against better opposition. Regardless of if he lost or won. I have seen his skill set, and it is diverse.

    OK, what is Broner's so-called "diverse" skill set, and when has he shown it?

    Should have lost to PDL, and Paulie. He was WAY overhyped. People thought he was the next Floyd.

    PDL could have gone either way. Like i said. Mayweather vs Agustus. Garcia vs Herrera. I could do this for ever boxer alive.

    Mallinaggi didn't even hit Broner in that fight. People let their hate convince them of B.s. There is no way Pauli won that fight.

    And in this case Broner jumped two weight classes. Two! to fight a champion. Not only that Broner was laying guys out at those weights. Stop comparing Broner getting hit, to Crawford or Mayweather. Broner actually fights people. That is his style. you are going to get hit fighting that. I think his defense is great for someone with his style.

    Crawford gets hit just as much, and he's running lol. So you guys need to stop all that hate.

    Crawford can stalk his opponents, like he did against Burns and Beltran. When has Broner done anything besides counter-punch?

    Not even close. Crawford gets hit with maybe one punch at a time, Broner just stands and gets hit with three or four punches at a time.

    Crawford has shown that he has heart. When his opponent lands a good shot or seems to have momentum, he feels the need to answer and show who the better man is. You can't teach that stuff. You either have it or you don't.

    True but AB always has the chance to land a knee dropping shot:yikes

    I think Crawford can take the heat so final vision is TC with a SD:yep

    But he doesn't throw enough, and you can't do that against a solid defensive fighter like Crawford. I see Crawford simply outboxing him.

    I saw a 135 Broner outbox a pure boxer in Mallinagi, and walk down brawler in Maidana.

    The difference in the Maidana fight was the size, and power. Not skill. 135 Broner had never felt anything like that. Or been in the ring with someone that big. He was not ready Period. If you actually watched the fight you would see Broner taking Maidana's soul on the inside, and outside. Take his best punch, and keep coming.

    Take away the knockdowns Broner wins. he was winning the rounds in which he was clipped. the point that i'm trying make it is. It is not a question of Broner's skill, but his experience. Maidana put him down so he won, but it wasn't for lack of skill.

    There is a reason Maidana does not want to fight Broner again. That would be a big fight, and easy money if he was so confident he would win. Like i said. fans see what they want in stead id reality.

    I have seen him get knocked down, and get up. I have seen him go 12 hard rounds. I have seen him TKO people, KO people, Counter punch, Box, Brawl. He does it all. he just has to put it together.

    I have only seen Crawford do one thing. People hyping him up are going have him in the same position as Broner. Crawford is not ready yet.

    And he is not more skilled than Broner. More disciplined. Yes. He's making the most of what he has Broner is not. Broner has more tools, and more potential. I think Crawford will reach his ceiling. I don't know about Broner.

    But as of today. I think Broner wins. 7-5.

    When did Crawford Stalk Burns, and Beltran? Al i saw him do was throw a flurry after he got caught for trying be aggressive. The same that happened with Gamboa.


    And i just saw Broner Box, brawl, and counter punch Emmauel Taylor. that fight would have been easy if not for the little ring I have never seen a ring that small in my life.

    People are getting it confused. I am not overrating Broner. I don't think he is the best fighter in the world. What i am saying is he is better than Crawford at the moment. At least in my opinion, and he has more potential.

    But i also believe Crawford progress, and Broner will party.

    I'm just saying don't use Crawfords success to bash Broner. He has yet to pass the test that Broner has passed, and the ones he's failed.

    So how can you give him more respect as a fighter than Broner. Broner could have easily pulled a Mickey Garcia. But he demanded to fight the best. he let the fans choose, and they still throw beer on him. So you can't get mad when he takes easy fights for big money now.

    I see that your are still on the Broner hype train. He's a limited fighter, and won't be a P4P fighter ever again. No dedication and thinks too highly of himself.
