How good would Adrien Broner be if...

[canucks9314]

About as good as Amir Khan with an Iron chin and the ability to cope with pressure...

Broner is what he is. He simply can't fight in the manner you're talking about.

[Chrismart]

I think he would have more success. But i think he will always be hesitant to let his hands go against good opposition. His lack of defense means he will leave his self open.

[Chrismart]

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.

Great point.

[bojangles1987]

He doesn't choose not to let his hands go, he is incapable of figuring out opponents well enough to feel comfortable letting his hands go. He's easily confused and that keeps him from throwing.

If he just started winging combinations, he'd miss a ton, tire out, and be no better.

[bojangles1987]

He needs to stay at 140.

He struggles to make 140. Size isn't his problem.

[SlySlickSmooth]

Broner gets gunshy. You look at his punchstats and he throws more the less his opponent does.

Although against Paulie he was able to throw over 800 because Paulie was working him and he had to keep it close.

[The Big Dunn]

I think he'd be significantly better if he trained like Floyd but didn't fight like him.

[W1LLPARK3R]

I think the better better question is how good would he be if he stayed at lower weights and didn't come up so fast. That, and his poor dedication to the sport..

[Come∂ian]

He will still be crap

[SplitSecond]

How good would Adrien Broner be, if he wasn't sht? Hmm... I'd reckon he'd be pretty good.
