Doesn't the question "who will go further" mean, from this point forward? Not past accomplishments. At this point I would say Broner goes further because Khan is probably FUBAR. His chin is absolutely wrecked and I don't see Khan ever beating a top tier fighter(Collazo is a gatekeeper imo).
Who will go further? Khan or Broner

IMO Broner does not belong in the same weight class as Khan ,he is a lot smaller. Broner is a lightweight/LWW and Khan is now a WW. So the common opponents measure is flawed. Khan has not fought a light middle weight but if you think of it in those terms you can see the common opponents measure does not really add up.Do you know what a triangle theory is? I wasn't arguing whether Khan would beat Broner or not. I think he would but for different reasons.
I was looking at their common opponents to gauge how far they'd go. Broner has struggled and lost to the same opponents that Khan was beating at the same age.
Broner got gready looked at the LWW division and saw it was too tough and jumped on the softer touch Malignaggi. With his size keeping the title was always going to be a tall order.Comment

I am fully aware of that just as you are fully aware that Khan is much taller and bigger than Broner even at Lightweight. Khan did not jump straight from Lightweight to WW in fact his move to WW has been delayed after he lost to Peterson. Making the weight at LWW has not been easy for him recently.There is a big size difference. The point I am making is that the common opponents comparison you were trying to make is not sound.Comment

Khan's opponents are used to measure Broner so what does that tell you?
Malignaggi (Khan stopped'em)
Maidana (beat convincingly and dropped)
and now Carlos Molina (Khan just.....).
In an unrelated news Graham Earl is announcing a comeback to boxing.

Taller doesn't mean bigger.

The bottom line is WW is Khan's natural weight now it is not Broner's. Broner is a Lighweight/LWW and Khan is a WW. I am pretty sure the majority on this forum see Khan being bigger than Broner.Comment
