    Broner cant handle guys who jump on him like a rash, Diaz is all wrong for Broner, he'll be on him like a rash and he can punch unlike Gavin Reese (who was taggin Broner like it was nothing)

    Broner hype train needs to stop this guy will never win a fight against a decent boxer at 140-147

    He fights like he is paralysed in the legs
    Well for one, he's beaten better competition in all weightclasses.

    I don't think you can make that conclusion based on a fight with Marcos Maidana one of the P4P hardest punchers in the fighting game today.

    I disagree - Broner is a good fighter. Not saying he'll be the star of 147 or anything like that, but he's a good fighter. Far better than diaz.

    And yes, he's flatfooted.

      The knockdown was what it was - it didn't hurt Khan that much. It is more the late rounds where Diaz was stalking and Khan was on queet street that worried me.

      But there's absolutely no question that Diaz is leagues below Broner.
      Julio Diaz? He's ok but he's not world level. Khan struggled with the guy. Khan also struggled with, Peterson, and Garcia. And looked lackluster against Molina. The body of evidence against Khan's legitimacy and relevance at a world level grows with each fight he fights. You think this pattern will change? They usually don't... That's why they're called patterns.

      Yet people sit back, cross their fingers, and hope a khan of old will "steal 3 rounds" from mayweather. Meanwhile, the body of evidence certifying Maidana is significant. And grows with each fight. Khan and Maidana are on different ends of a pendulum. Yet people pretend all the obvious evidence regarding Khan is imaginary.




      Fanboyism, nationalism, or both.. Or blinded by old footage without consideration of contextual clues regarding where each fighter is at developmentally.


      Either way it's dumb.

        Only reason he survived Maidana was because he faked injuires to recover his senses

        Even Paulies punches were hurting Maidana, so he restored to low blows and head butts

        Broner is basically in a wheelchair with no wheels when he fights

        Any 140 - 147 boxer with some decent pop will beat Broner...
        Broner takes a decent punch, very heavy handed iron chinned ko artist Maidana was just too much for him.

        Broner doesn't have to move. If he slugs with Diaz he can k him tfo.

            Everytime Maidana connected he hurt Broner, even Khan who everyone says has a glass jaw didnt wobble like that

            What does that say about Broner?

            and Paulie Feather Fists was stinging Broner, the guy cant take a punch, he retorts to dirty tactics when he is hurt

            I was never sold on Broner the Reese fight rang alrm bells, then Paulie came through and showed us all his flaws and Maidana showed us he cant take a punch or run away from incoming traffic

            I really dont see Broner beating any top 140-147 boxer

              The question is really who is better at Welterweight.

              Broner = close decision over Malignaggi, beatdown from Maidana
              Diaz = draw with Porter, close decision with Khan

              Broner has the name and star power, in the ring though? Not sure there's a great deal in it.
