    How good would Adrien Broner be if...

    He stopped trying to fight like Floyd? If he let his hands go and threw combinations? If he used good footwork and head movement instead of his Care Bear defense.

    He has the build and speed to fight with more of a Hagler-type of style, but the kid has deluded himself into thinking he's some kind of Floyd-lite.

    James Kirkland esque but with better defense, and a little less power.

      Watch his early hbo fights. He didn't always shoulder roll. He fought more naturally and not forced

        He doesn't have the endurance the throw many punches. Doesn't have the chin to take many punches. Doesn't have the power unless he's fighting midgets.

        He was outboxed by Ponce De Leon, who came up in weight to fight him. So what's he supposed to do? Acting like a fool and attracting Floyd groupies has been the best thing for his career. Imagine if he had to actually garner acclaim through his skills.

          It's fair enough to say if any fighter used good footwork and head movement and threw more combinations they would most likely be better!!!

              He's got an air of invincibility. He thinks he's a fortress of strength and power. Which makes him lazy, can't handle blitzkrieg attack and have no answer to non-stop pressure. His only defense is to clinch. Clinching may be a normal part of a fight, but, man, if it's done excessively he better quit boxing.

                  Broner might win a few more fights against b level opponents and get another title around his waist but he would still be too slow, too ****** and not hit hard enough against the bigger guys.
