    I feel like Broner would lose a bunch of things but catch Khan with something late
    Marcos even admitted that Broner hurt him didn't he?

          I'm truly on the fence with this one.

          On the one hand, khans speed and general activity would cause Broner all sorts of problems. Broner as we seen so far is flat footed, and fairly porous in his defence..

          On the other, I can't help but think back to Diaz flattening Khan in his last fight, Broner may not have the same pop as he did at lightweight when he had size advantages against his opponents, but I still feel he hits a lot harder than Diaz.. Would he have the ability to cut off khan once he's hurt him? I don't know..

          At the moment, I'd have to say that khan outboxes Broner for large spells only to be hurt and dropped more than once by Broner.. Broner by controversial SD

            This^^^^^^^^^

            I've BEEN saying AK would handcuff AB.....easy to see that happening but of course AK's chin gives chances to fighters who normally wouldn't have none

              Possibly, but I don't see Broner as a bigger puncher than Julio Diaz and he couldn't finish Khan. Khan's activity is going to smother Broner.

                Either Khan wins UD via his Yorkshire Shoe-Shine or Broner TKO via his Crip-Walk Cross.

                  There was a thread about this fight where most bushbaby was talkin crap about how Broner would KO Khan and how he had all the advantages etc.

                  Then Broner gets pummeled and now everybody picks Khan

                    lol what?

                      Diaz isn't a bigger puncher than Broner and even if he was just because he didn't stop Khan doesn't mean Broner wouldn't.

                      The bigger puncher doesn't always stop the fighter.

                      There's plenty of instances where Fighter A is a bigger puncher than fighter B but Fighter A couldn't stop fighter C whereas Fighter B could.

                      It's not all about the punch.
