Broner ducked Khan just like big bro Mayweather. Khan has to be the most feared fighter since Tyson if you think how many people have actually avoided him throughout his career. Now Mayweather and Broner have both ducked Khan back-to-back.
It appears as though this fight will be put on hold, as stated by Richard Schaefer. Apparently they are both heading in different directions in regards to their future, Khan wanting to campaign at WW and Broner wanting to go down to 140. It's unclear why Broner was taunting Khan and hyping up a fight when they turned down Khan's offer to fight him. But Schaefer said it will happen down the line most likely.
Khan's activity and footwork, coupled with Broner's flat footedness and lack of power at WW equals a clear cut UD for Khan.
But does Khan survive a Broner counter with power behind it?
This is exactly my inner dialogue when trying to assess this fight. It comes down to if Kahn can maintain a smart gameplan through an entire fight and if Broner can take land a counter or walk down Kahn and ko him.
I wanna say Khan,but I just don't trust him..I don't trust Broner that much either,but he stood in there for 12 taking massive punishment..He even was able to make the fight close on my cards,despite getting hurt early..I see Broner being able to take a lil more punishment..
This is also assuming that Broner see's the holes in his game and cleans it up..Punch with your opponent,and use them damn legs,I think it's a 55/45 kinda fight,in Broner favor..
It would be a great fight and spice up the floyd card in May. I want to see this fight happen. I don't understand why fighters would flee from being on a floyd card the exposure your going to get will be epic.
I'm a broner fan and I got Khan winning by UD. For these reasons alone.
1. Khan been working out for the Floyd fight since December. Broner can't tell you what a gym looks like. The clubs appearances are too important.
2. Broner only let's his hands go really when the other guy stops punching. Broner work rate is wayy too low. Khan will handcuff broner and will never give him the opportunity to get tht big shot off.
3. I've seen broner in real life the guy is small he isn't big at all 147 is not his weight class. He weighed in vs marcos at 144. His power has not come up with him he needs to think about a catch weight.
4.did I mention broner hasn't seen a gym in forever
