    Khan was technical, mechanical and clinical in his bout vs Malignaggi and Broner could hardly be considered a winner, hardly.
    Absolutely. This is the truth. Bronner is a funny animal....even some who normally know better seem to think he has some of the goods. I never saw it. Heart is great BTW but it only takes one so far. Now...If we took Bronner's heart and Kahn's..... haha seriously even now? Bronner is slowly being put out to pasture as the meeting of the minds has realized that he has no division where he can beat anyone worth their salt.

      Anyone who thinks Khan beats Broner doesn't know **** about boxing. Khan is the most overrated and overhyped fighter ever.

        A lot of people seem to parrot this belief. But honestly.....In these divisions (weight) you have described many fighters. If Bronner were a lightweight who could punch it would be an advantage. If Bronner were a heavyweight with a great chin and heart and a punch he would be in a good place but he can't really beat anyone in the divisions where he needs elite status.

        Lets face it, the boxers have his number. The odd fellows (Ponce) can hang with him, and the punchers can outpunch him. Who does he beat? Bronner's best strategy would be to become a student of the game, learn how to move his head and cut the ring off. He gets hit way too much even when he wins.

          demarco was rated highly off of his victory over linares. obviously people won't consider it a big win, but that's his best win p4p.

          paulie was a decent win, but the figh twas close, and paulie was at the end of his run.

            He won't beat any top 140lb or 147lber.

            At 140:
            Garcia, provodnikov, Matthysse and Peterson steam roll him. Algeri and postol probably outbox him.

            At 147:
            Floyd, PAC, Bradley, Jmm, kell brook, maidana, thurman, Guerrero, rios, khan and Alexander all beat him. Idk about Shawn porter he probs whoops his ass too.

            No legs.. He thinks the shit he did to Gavin Rees who caught him a lot is gunna work on everyone. He stands in front of massive punchers stationary. The boxers usually outbox him until they get caught late but they're not even top teir fighters. His style won't work on guys his size.

              Porter knocks him out, I don't see that fight ending any other way

                Berto would probably drop him during the fight.

                  I couldn't stand Broner when he was being incredibly overrated by many but now that the hype's died down a little, I must admit that he's quite entertaining. The Maidana fight was one of the most hilarious affairs I've seen in years. Do I see him beating a top opponent? Probably not but I wouldn't mind watching him try.

                      I don't see him beating any top guys as he lacks focus. He has skills for sure, but not at the level needed to step up, which was quantified with the Maidana fight.

                      I think he will do ok, but be known more for his antics than his record.
