Calling Broner terrible just proves how full of **** you are... **** off .. I have no interest in the opinions of childish ****heads ..Comment

Taylor is under rated and Broner goes out of his way to entertain usually.. He didn't last time out and barely got hit...Dont get me wrong I love Crawford but He's so overrated right now in my humble opinion
Broner is a great counter puncher .. I don't understand that at all .., I pick him over most ... But he's thhe kind of guy where it's the case if he performs ... He turned it one for one round after he landed the counter right uppercut... Round 4-5... That's a confident Broner..,
People are so fickle.. They forget Adrien had half of boxing changing to his style of shoulder roll after 3-4 fightsComment

Broner only looks good when he has someone too limited to do anything besides stand in his wheelhouse where Broner can use his handspeed. That is the only time he looks impressive. Close the distance and he struggles. Box and he struggles. Do anything besides stand in front of him throwing one punch at a time and he has struggled.
Crawford would find it easy to control distance. If Broner can't hurt Crawford, he's in for a long night that probably doesn't end happily.Comment

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?Comment
