Who will go further in their career, will it be broner or khan. I believe Khan will go a further than broner because Khan has proven himself against elite fighters, where as Broner has a lot of hype about him being the next superstar but he has only beaten cab drivers excluding maidana and Paulie.

depends on who cherry picks more. truth is khan hasn't got the chin to **** with the big boys. broner hasn't got the skills to mix it up with a legit 147 pounder.

Khan is a proven fighter with wins over zab , Paulie , maidana and Peterson (if you think Peterson won your from DC) berrira ...if khan had an iron chin he be p4p fighterComment

I think in three years time Broner is likely to be exactly here Khan is now. He will have lost 2-3 more fights against fighters within his level and still would not have an 'A' class win on his resume.
Both fighters have fallen into the same trap - believing their own hype at a young age.
Both fighters have fundamental flaws in their technique or psychology.
They have never been young, hungry fighters and both (IMO) are just not physically durable and strong enough at 147.Comment

They are at different stages of their careers. Khan is 27 and Broner 24 with 18 fights. 18 fights into Khan's career he was fighting Michael Gomez his 19th fight was Breidis Prescott so they chalked up their first loss around same number of fights into their career. But Khan was KOd by a nobody and Broner beaten by a bigger name and physically bigger fighter.
Broner jumped up from lightweight to WW and really is too small to fight at that weight and IMO has no business there. Although beaten by Maidana who was obviously much bigger and stronger he was not KOd. So if he drops down weight where he belongs it is unlikely he will get KOd. The same can not be said about Khan who will be fighting bigger men than he is used to and for the first time at WW.
I see Broner being managed cautiously for a while so with no real chin issues with careful management his career should get on track again.
Khan has been inactive with his good wins being 3 or 4 years ago. The last 4 fights have not been good but it looks like his best days may well be behind him and it seems his team think that way as they kept him inactive while hoping for a Mayweather fight . He has a very dangerous fight ahead of him ,in many ways a make or break fight and he needs the win to get some momentum in his career. If Collazo wins his career is in trouble and it will be much more difficult to get his career on track than it will be for Broner to get moving after the Madana loss.
I think Broner is going to be carefully managed and kept away from much bigger men and I see him having a good career. I have no idea how Khan's career is going to turn out because he has been so inactive and his last 4 performances so iffy that it is difficult see if he still has it in him.Comment

Probably Khan. Khan has wins over Maidana, Barrera, Judah & a much better win over Malignaggi than Broner has. Broner's best win is against DeMarco. He lost to Ponce de Leon in my opinion, lost to Maidana, and struggled against Malignaggi. At this rate it's going to either be never or a long time before Broner catches up to Khan in terms of solid wins over good competition.Comment
