I think Adrien Broner would beat Terrence Crawford

[Dinamita 03]

There's plenty of guys that would give Crawford problems, Broner is not one of them.

I'd root for Crawford too, and I believe Matthysse would turn Crawford's lights out, it almost looks like a certainty.

I actually think Broner is slightly better than Muhammad Ali.

[The Big Dunn]

Right now its a tough call for me. I like Crawford. Think he's a good young fighter. I think he has been fortunate to be bigger than much of his opposition because he is able to make weight in lower classes. I don't think he'd have the weight advantage against Broner.

Reason I'd slightly favor Crawford is he is far more professional then Broner.

Now let me start off by saying that I am a huge fan of both...but I will admit that I am a bigger fan of Broner...

The core of why I feel most see TC winning is because he is currently over-rated and Broner is being underrated.

Lets look at boths guys:

Crawford burst onto the scene with this picture perfect performance against a big puncher... He controlled Prescott and even stood in front of him and beat him up at times.... on the surface quite an impressive feat for a first time on that stage but Crawford didn't do anything Kevin Mitchell couldn't do against Prescott. He gave great displays of boxing against Klimov, Beltran and Ricky Burns....that can't be argued but lets Look at the Gamboa fight.

Early on Gamboa was controlling the fight quite easily, tagging Crawford and avoiding the return fire....But Gamboa is known for his mental lapses in fights and it came to light in round 5 when Crawford landed a hard checkhook. Gamboa as is his mentality decide to trade with Crawford while he was still hurt and was subsequently knocked out.

I take nothing away from Crawford...he did what needed to be done...but I ask you, If they had been the same size...or perhaps even Gamboa had been the bigger guy, does it seem to you that Crawford would have had a chance at all?

Now Broner.... I don't see why people have lost faith in him.....If Floyd had been Broners age when he fought Chino the first time(obviously taking into account that Floyd wasn't at 147-so P4P) I think he would have lost too...

It took all Floyd's years of experience to deal with Maidana and that was after seeing what he did to Broner... Broner thought he was fighting the same guy Devon Alexander whooped but Maidana has really blossomed under Garcia...

Broner had fell in love with his flash and his highlights yes and it was hampering him as a fighter...but to see him box disciplined against Molina for 12 was a really good sign that he's refocused. Broner is still the guy that whopped Demarco harder than Edwin Valero.

Now to the actual fight.... Broner for me clearly has the athletic advantage...he hands are much quicker and he hits harder.. Crawford has More looks but Broner showed he's not one dimensional. Broner's chin is proven granite and Crawford was hurt by Gamboa. Broner has the better left jab(when he uses it) better straight right and better hook...

Crawford's jab out of the Southpaw stance is probably better than Broner's left jab.... That's how I think Crawford would fight. Crawford would try keep Broner's feet moving and turning him..... but he would still have to engage and IMO when this happens Broner will rip him with counter shots.

This is a Win/Win fight in my eyes and I hope we see it down the line...what do you think?

AB went tooth and nail with Emmanuel Freaken Taylor bro, c'mon. TC has them skillz that pay dem billz, Broners personality is what pays his. I do think highly of Broner as a fighter because I think he will fight anyone but he wont beat everyone. He sould also learn to counter punch instead of stalk his opponents, the shoulder roll works better that way.

I'd root for Crawford too, and I believe Matthysse would turn Crawford's lights out, it almost looks like a certainty.

I like Matthysse in that matchup as well. Like you said Crawford backs up in a straight line consistently and is bound to pay for it. No doubt he's a good fighter, but is slightly overrated. It was evident in HBO's "2 days" how much of a weight advantaged he enjoyed at lightweight.

Broner is flat flooted and won SD's over Ponce and Malignaggi, I'm not a Crawford fan but I rate him highly. He would outbox the **** out of AB, about Bums, about biscuits, argentians ***** or whatever you wanna call him

[PivotandRoll]

Crawford is multifaceted, can switch hit, is extremely hungry and just loves to fight. He is a born fighter, you can see it in his demeanor in the ring. I think Bud would have an easy time dispatching Broner. Broner has under average footwork and depends on his shoulder roll and little to no head movement as his defense. He's fairly easy work for a guy like Crawford.

And Mayweather at the same age (as Broner) taking on Maidana dominates him easily. The only reason why Maidana made it a fight is because Floyd is at the tail end of his career and has lost a few steps. To say that Broner now is equivalent to Floyd at the same age is complete nonsense. You should be ashamed for that comparison and reasoning.

No one is a born fighter so just stfu with that nonsense.. If you think Floyd ever had an easy time with some who comes over his Shoulder Roll like that then you don't know boxing ..
Broker hasn't used the Shoulder Roll much at all since the Maidana fight so I question how closely you watch fights .. It's also funny how you insinuate that I'm insulting Floyd when he's one of if not my favourite fighter...
Go watch the Castillo fights or even the Corley fight and tell me again how it's nonsense to compare them..
I just watched Corley vs Mayweather again last night and Corley made him do the booty dew ....
Floyd was not a defensive genius until he backed he offence off a bit and got more experience

How was Broner flat footed against Molina? So you don't rate Paulie ? Because if He has anything left I'd pick him to beat Lucas handily

[John Locke]

Crawford would dominate Broner
