    I think Broner has the greater potential, but he has to ditch the Mayweather style because it doesn't suit him at all.

      Algieri for sure. I am not overrating Algieri, I just see Broner for what he is. Maybe Broner should try fighting Berto.

          Broner doesn't punch enough to beat Algeri. Algeri would out point him on volume alone.

            No, Broner is a bum because he struggles against "C" level fighters like Taylor and Paulie Malignaggi, who he should be pretty much blowing out. Sure he can beat up on little guys, but in the bigger weight classes, he struggles against "C" level fighters.

              Styles make fights, Taylor struggles with movement.
              As does Broner actually.

              Algieri probably beats Broner based on styles but is he the better fighter overall? I'm not so sure about that.

                Legit? First one was vacant vs Argie bum, third one was vs fringe top tenner Paulie who went life and death with Cano and was 10-1 underdog. Its not just those 2 fights, he repeatedly struggles with major underdogs: Quintero, PDL, Paulie, Maidana, Taylor. Most people had him losing 3 of those, and none of these were top contenders.

                  Ali struggled badly with Norton and Frazier.

                  Foreman destroyed both in a few rounds.
                  Foreman.

                    It's irrelevant really the fact is Algeri beating Taylor easier than Broner proves absolutely nothing what so ever.
                    Can you remind me what rounds please?

                      Are you genuinely interested or are you saying this wasn't the case?

                      Anyway, Cooper won the first round and then dropped him and badly hurt him in the 4th.

                      Doug Jones gave Ali a whole load of problems, I actually thought Jones edged it.

                      I forget with rounds specifically but plenty of the early rounds Jones won, and he stunned him a few times too. Ali finished strongly and got the nod, close fight.
