    Broner has footwork and is very versitile. He is just stuck in the habit of walking guys down. I have heard stories of him boxing, moving, backfoot, frontfoot. Inside, outside, pocket etc. He just walks guys down because he's anxious to let his power off, and he's not afraid of their power. He been fighting smaller guys or guys like paulie who have no power. Broner will show enough when its all said and done.

      By breathers, I mean breaks in the action, letting the other guy work. Broner drops a lot of rounds like this.

      Crawford works much harder.

        Who has Crawford fought? Broner has fought the best, but he was just too big for the weight classes he fought them at. But if you can make the weight, no asterisk I guess. But he can f.king fight his azz off and thats not debatable

            Other than DeMarco, when has Broner fought the best? He didn't at 130 and other than DeMarco didn't at lightweight. He didn't at welterweight.

              This is actually a very weak part of Broner game..He needs to fix it up,esp before he get's in there with Maidana..

                Broner, is campaigning at welter now, and Crawford is at lightweight looking to get a world title shot.

                If it were to happen I would happily take your points of any of you willing to back Broner.
                Fool its easy to bet on Terrence when the fight is and probably never will happen. You can run your mouth about what you WOULD do. But Broner would beat that guy to a bloody pulp. Broner doesnt care about having an ugly fight where his defense looks less than stellar. He's okay with looking sloppy, because to him he feels at some point you have to eat his power. He fights the whole fight thinking like that. With Paulie he was sluggish and never threw his combinations.

                  DeMarco stinks..

                    Crawford has some real potential, and is the opposite style of most Top Rank fighters in the surrounding divisions. If he is legit he will be a big win for Arum.

                      Broner can do everything in the ring. He just hasnt shown it in his fights. He is very versitile, and he was always a boxer first. I like the way you highlight a portion of my comment instead of responding to the whole thing. Cherrypickin. And Madaina is flatfooted. He fights nothing like Paulie. Broner will be flatfooted, get in the pocket and beat this bum to a pulp. And I barely even like Broner.
