    Just watched Maidana vs Morales and...

    Jesus, a past his prime Erik Morales showed better ring generalship, foot work, a jab, and head movement than a 24 year old Adrien Broner. This guy thought he was the next Floyd Mayweather but an aging, battle worn, Mexican fighter demonstrated better boxing skills than him.

      It's true. Old Morales did well against Garcia in the first fight as well. Just shows you how overrated this era of one-dimensional fighters are, save for a few.

        Broner was never that good. His competition was awful. Unless he improves he will lose to the next good fighter he faces.

          Maidana has gotten better since that fight. Garcia has made him a much smarter fighter.

              Broner is very overhyped.

                I agree.



                Something else to consider, AB had a very competitive bout with Paulie in which he barely eeked out a decision or fought to a draw. Porter just annihilated Paulie, he did what many here thought AB would be able to do.

                    You forgot to mention ONE and I will say it again ONE eye for 11 rounds and still managed to make Maidana look clueless at times and pushed it to argue for a draw.
