If Floyd fought the exact same fight as Broner last night..

[Sugar Adam Ali]

floyd would have schooled porter...

what broner lacks, floyd excels in.. footwork, timing, ring IQ, Generalship, defense, movement, etc, etc

Broner aint no Broner, he never was. Mayweather wouldn't have fought Porter like Broner did. Mayweather picks Porter apart inside and out.

[GoldenGloveLove]

Mayweather has never performed like that even nearing forty.

I try to think outside the box sometimes.

An art piece so to speak, illustrating the double standards in the boxing community. On subjects like excessive holding, headlocks, leaning on fighters backs. In one case its crafty boxing, in another case its boooooo.

Really though Mayweather uses excessive holding + referee bias lately. Can anyone deny this?

Good point. Replace Floyd with Broner and we have a UD in the favor of Floyd. Exactly what happened in the Maidana one fight. IMO. The score cards had Floyd winning 116-112, 115-111 in Maidana 1. It was a draw at best.

[Beercules]

Nah Broner fought like an idiot.


I was drunk, did Floyd really walk out

[ADP02]

We know it would not have been exactly the same. Broner at least knocked down Porter and Porter didn't get a point deducted for retaliating on a couple of occasions.

Just look at the Maidana fight and yes the Manny fight as examples. Everyone including the commentators were calling out the ref for not giving Floyd strong warnings to deduct a point. Maidana then elbowed Floyd and gets deducted a point with no strong warnings! Even though Floyd had done so (elbowed) during the fight.

Sure, Broner was horrible but if Floyd didn't look good, Dave Moretti, for example, would have given Floyd the win and you Floyd fans would have said that Porter missed a lot because Compubox said so.

If you do not believe that Floyd would have had a better scorecard, remember that Maidana was losing on the score cards after 6 rounds of the fight where Maidana clearly did his best work. Floyd picked up 4 of those rounds. One of those being, Dave Moretti!

[RetroSpeed05]

Floyd isn't even a clincher like that, beside the Chino fight who what other fight looked anything like Broner? Floyd had around 70 clinches in the Chino fight, Alexander had 117, and i think Broner was even way ahead of Alexander.

Basically everything lol

[SkillspayBills]

Does any rational human being believe this crock of **** thread?
For 1 Floyd fights NOTHING like Broner. He would/will land the much cleaner shots on Porter, he will make Porter miss and counter him, he will be much more active than Broner was and he won't allow himself to be outworked. The **** are you talking about?

[lefthook2daliva]

he would have not only been given the decision, but many here would be posting how it was a masterclass boxing lesson, he whooped Porter.

Whats even worse is the ref probably wouldnt have even allowed Porter to crowd Floyd or work inside ala Cortez/Hatton.

Am I wrong?

Yes. You are wrong.
