    Broner should be kept away from punchers, fighters his size, fighters with stamina and a boxing brain.

      He needed to fight a puncher to find out what he is or isn't.

      I Blame GBP for a lot of this, you give him nothing but undersized fighters, that aren't even that skilled, most of them weak punchers, than go from paulie to maidana.

      He was set up to fail. He believed the hype GBP built around him, and worse off, he believed in his half ass Philly shell defense. It world against smaller guys, and guys who couldn't punch, but maidana is a different beast.

      Even Floyd, vs guys who he really respects, you'll see both of hands up. Broner needs to learn to respect his opponents more.

          It's obvious from watching him vs Malignaggi and Maidana, that he most likely gets beaten by an top 10 WW. The lower ranked guys like Thurman, Porter, Alexander, and the 4 and 5 guys like Guerrero and Brook all probably kick his ass. Forget about Pac, Bradley and Marquez. Also, Prov, Matthysse and Garcia may put him to sleep. Judah is the next likely fight that makes sense and even that sounds dangerous for Broner.
          What do you think of broner/khan?

            That's what happens when you face someone your own size (he still looked bigger than Maidana). The hypejob thought he was good when he was fighting lightweights when he was a welter

              Good points here.

              Broner actually believed his own hype job.

              What is absolutely certain is that a fighter like Chino draws his motivation from a very different place than AB.

              At the highest level you have to believe in yourself more than the people around you, Broner never understood this and never will.

              Chino fights from the heart, Broner is just a sqeaky fart in a hurricane.

                Go back to fighting midgets, preferably cheating them on the scales where possible too.

                Maidana was a great style match-up for Broner. He was shown beyond any doubt that he doesn't belong at 147. Go to 140 for now. Avoid Danny, Lucas, Ruslan, Alvarado, and Rios. Try get that fight with Gamboa.

                  Broner should go down to 140 and develop some movement and a real defense stop that trying to be Floyd little ***** that **** is embarrassing.

                    Broner has no footwork,crap defense and no power at 147 he needs to go back to 135 to beat up little guys If he goes to 140 he will get killed by Matthysse and Garcia and outboxed by Peterson.

                      Precisely why everyone wants a piece of him, from Guerrero to Malignaggi's wanting a rematch. His fight with Paulie made me suspect this hype train is waiting to crash hard.
