Who poses the biggest THREAT to Broner? Im not asking which fight you WANT to see, but which of the following fighters has the best chance to beat Broner.
Ricky Burns
Miguel Vasquez
Yuri Gamboa
Richard Abril
WHO and WHY?
I think Broner would murder Gamboa, and handle Burns/vasquez faily easily, but i think Abrils style and strength could pose alot of problems for 'the problem'
Abril and Vazquez both beat him IMO. Their height, jab, and movement are all things that Broner doesn't deal well with. DeMarco was stationary and gave Broner time to get shots off at him. Little Rees' movement alone left Broner looking befuddled in the beginning of their fight.
If Abril keeps his distance and keeps pumping the jab, he should have a pretty easy time with Broner. He gets a little lackadaisical at some times and doesn't use the jab enough. Vazquez, I think, makes Broner look silly for most of the fight and should win a clear UD provided he doesn't get ripped off on the cards.
I think he beats all of them but because of his speed and power I think Gamboa would be difficult for Broner for a few rounds.No one really beats everyone. At 135/140 he will win some and lose some, like every fighter.
Funny how most people voted Abril, Gamboa and Vazquez, yet Broner is looking to fight Burns.
Edit : I voted for Vazquez.
Burns is a good fighter. I just think its a familiarity issue.
Vasquez has a chin, the arm length and boxing style to give problems to the problem.
Abril maybe but he's too sedentary at times.
... but he'll face real problems when he moves to WW.
Broner murders Gamboa silly with one single punch somewhere throughout the fight. Eventually outworks and stops Abril. I like Vasquez tho. Would not be surprised to see Vasquez pull it off or to see him whip Broner's @ss and then get screwed out of one.

I would have to go with Vazquez on that list. I don't really like his boxing style all that much but he gets the wins in the win column though. Gamboa hasn't fought at that weight class so I can't pick him.

I'll be the first one to admit I have never seen a full Ricky Burns fight. Only highlights.
It's Gamboa. Broner has a hard time with anyone that can match his speed.
I'm shocked Abril is getting this many votes. He's not good. He really isn't.
