    That style is tough to beat,but u need a complete skillset to make it work and he does
    You need quick reflexes if you don't have them I wouldn't recommend that style

      It also helps to be taller or as tall as your opponent, because the opponent then has to punch up and over the shoulder to land a head shot. That's why it didn't work for Berto. Guerrero was too tall and he was just swinging down onto Berto's head (plus Berto is ****** and not a great boxer anyway)

                  It doesn't matter if Broner is a "copy cat" or not. That issue does not and will not have any impact on the outcome of the fight. Yes, Mayweather is his biggest inspiration and he's adopted his style almost perfectly. Broner feels comfortable in that stance and it works for him. That particular style can't be adopted or fought by everyone. Berto tried it and he looked absolutely horrible and uncomfortable in that position.
