yes on all accounts

only JR has even made recent improvements. he couldnt adjust against martinez, but against lee and rubio he looked like he was really punching and with actual technique. much harder than he had been.


the rest of them have plateaued or regressed.


we shall see with rios. the weight was very clearly effecting him at the end of his run at 135. if he still looks like a beast at 140 perhaps robert garcia can tweak his game some and teach him how to move his damn head. garcia is a hell of a trainer.

Jr has room for significant improvement if he becomes more dedicated to the sport.

I believe you may be correct about all of the fighters in question.

[LeG00N]

yup...and they all fought real opponents too.


when Broner fights anyone with a pulse,that isn't acouple weight classes smaller or is coked out. He'll get exposed

[Juof]

i think they all can improve their game a littlebit
i think donaire has hit his peak being 29 years old and all
i'd like to think ortiz could improve but dunno

in don't think he'll do that. as you said, i dont think he has the dedication. the sport is a game to him. he won't be a middleweight forever. he's at his physical peak in terms of being able to weigh 160 lbs and wear guys out with his physical strength and take their best punches. he's the biggest middleweight i've ever seen.

he might look good again against the right type of opponent, but i dont think he has the dedication to make the improvements to win a fight like the one he was in against martinez

where did that come from..?

[LeG00N]

where did that come from..?

I was trying to figure out a way to diss Broner...

it didn't come out organically

[KnockUTheFukOut]

I would say...YES because other then maybe Donaire and Khan...none of them had Unique Talent or Unique Skill Sets to begin with so I don't see any of them getting "BETTER" and neither of them I would consider "HIGH IN RING IQ" type of fighters so I don't see any of them getting WISER as they get older and beating people more so with their Brains then their Physical Attributes
