What Are Your Thoughts On Broner's Legs/Footwork?

[-Huey-]

He's improving.

i think broner has good footwork, not great but good.

he doesnt move around a lot, but thats due to his style more than anything imo. its by choice because he wants to go after his opponents for the most part, on the few occasions he decided to use the ring he moved pretty well.

he does have a wide stance for the most part, but he adapts his stance to whatever style hes using at the moment. look at floyd for example, he has a wide stance too when hes fighting aggressively but when he decides to move he tightens it up. broner does the same, difference is broner is aggressive much more often. now im not saying he moves as well as floyd, but he does switch it up in the same manner.

also i think ppl expect good footwork to be guys moving all over the place, but you can have great footwork without making a lot of movements and relying more on positioning, thats what broner does.

look at pacquiao and marquez, i remember hbo making a point about how pacs footwork was better than marquez' but thats not the case. he moves more and faster but marquez has better balance and positions himself better, thats why hes so effective countering pacquiao. broner doesnt have pacquiao like footwork, its more like marquez' (but not on the same level).

making small moves allowing himself to use angles while maintaining his ability to punch at all times and keeping his balance at all times.

You want us to tell you what we think about something that he hasn't shown but YOU THINK is there?

What I can do is tell you about what we've seen and that's no footwork. A wide stationary stance which will struggle vs someone who moves and doesn't stand there when he walks them down.

That someone is Malignaggi btw. Yes, I am agreeing.

Regardless I'd find it hard to believe that a guy who was olympic calibur couldn't box on his toes.

Nope. Not Malignaggi, not at this stage. I've said multiple times if you take the Paulie from 2-3 years ago vs this version of Broner, Paulie schools him. But if you watched Paulie's last fight you could tell his legs are gone. He doesn't have the same movement and his reflexes have diminished.

Us Broner "haters" can only hope Paulie sprays some deer antler velvet on those legs and rejuvenates them one last time.

I said Olympic "CALIBER". MEANING whether or not he actually made it to the Olympics he was within reasonable contention of doing so.

I have never really seen any footwork from him. Straight-lined movements with a very wide stance and putting his weight on his back foot whilst shoulder rolling. I'm sure he is capable of footwork to some degree but will he be able to turn it on like a switch when he needs it to avoid getting put down after not using it for 75% of his career?

i suggest some of u watch his earlier fights. he used to be a very jumpy fighter. his wide stance and planted feet is a rather recent thing in fact. its part of his style. he doesnt have to do it thats for sure. but i pefer him like that. its rather fooish to think he doesnt have good enough footwork when, frankly, thats not his game. and u dont need great footwork to be a master boxer. ask winky wright.
