Amir Khan vs. Adrien Broner: Who do you have?

[BigZigga]

Are you living up to the reputation of Khan haters then?

Or did Khan not beat Malignaggi with incredible ease and dropped maidana enroute to a rocky, but ultimately clear decision?

So what magical achievement at WW does Broner have since you were the one who brought it up.

Weight doesn't win fights, skills does.

I don't know I don't think that Maidana fight was a clear Khan win
The 10th round was definitely a 10-8 for Maidana which negates the KD
Maidana also won a lot of the lot of the late rounds so it was a very close fight

Maidana knocks him out in a rematch
No doubt about it
So yes, Khan had a better performance than AB against Maidana, but that was a different Marcos and a different Amir

[Juof]

Broner too flat footed khan ud

[M Bison]

I think the accumulating combos would take there toll on Broner eventually grounding him to either quit or have someone step in.
He is far too wide open to be hit and his power is massively overrated it was his size that done the damage down in the lower weight division not anything to do with natural raw power, although I'm not saying he doesn't have any power I just don't think he's a solid one punch artist.

He absolutely did

I'll try and find the interview - I think it was with elie or radio raheem or one of them guys.

Yeah, Maidana said that. It seemed to me like it was out of respect, because he didn't look hurt at all in the fight. Maybe Paulie takes a better shot than Maidana.

He doesn't look to have much power at WW and I doubt he'd stop anyone at decent level in that division.

Well he's obviously lying. Broner's obviously a harder puncher than a lot of guys he's faced let alone the bums he fought as he was coming out.

Broner doesn't hit as hard as N'Dou? Yeah..No.

He clearly has pop, he was clearly snapping both Maidana and Malignaggi's head back when he landed shots. Like I said he's not a devastating puncher but he clearly can punch.

And he's got more than enough power to drop and hurt Khan, more than enough.

I keep seeing ppl trash Julio Diaz power but he was a legit decent puncher at lightweight which is where Khan has come up from. Khan survived tricky moments and came through to win & not for the first time

I don't think you can make a legitimate case for Maidana in that fight, regardless of the 10th round or not. From rounds 1-8 - Maidana won a maximum of 2 rounds. And Khan stole one or two of the championship rounds as well.

Maidana would be a big mouthful for Khan at this moment in time for sure. But people said the same about Maidana before their first fight.

Well he's obviously lying. Broner's obviously a harder puncher than a lot of guys he's faced let alone the bums he fought as he was coming out.

Malignaggi was obviously the one fighting, so I'm sure he has a better idea than you and me. And I'm not sure why he would lie about it.

But that was what he said anyway.

I never said he couldn't knock Khan out, I just don't think it's very likely - and it's clear he's not as big a puncher as he was at LW. He's not remotely the same.

"Broner just don't respect the martial art of boxin'"

[thuggery]

Is Broner a harder puncher than Berto? If I remember correctly there was a poll with Berto vs Khan and Berto had a substantial lead and most people felt he would knock Khan out. Or is it just a matter of styles?

I think Berto is a harder puncher than Broner.

Broner has a higher ceiling than Khan at this point imo. Hes a head case, but I think broner learns enough from his loss to maidana and puts everything together enough to land a big counter shot and stop Khan
