If the Khan KO taught us anything, it's that as long as you "...go out like a warrior", you will get more respect than a bunch of wins. So it might actually help Broner to just step up and start taking risky TMT fights like Spence and Tank just to gain that respect.Fighting Tank would for sure be a no win move. Either you beat a prospect caliber guy who is barely on anyones radar yet or you lose to a prospect caliber guy who is barely on anyones radar yet.
Spence has some legitability with the Algieri win, but I think this is likely a fight I'd pick Spence to win. Its definitely not a fight I'd feel that Broner for sure wins I know that much. Spence is still more unknown than known, but the known stuff is pretty f#cking problematic for Broner.
Personally though, I say Spence swings at air all night long against AB. Tank? I think Tank would have trouble getting clean hits.Comment

Idk about Spence missing all night. I think Broner makes it hard to miss him at times. Certainly he's had a lot of trouble with guys who'll pressure him like Maidana & Porter did & what I'd expect Spence to do.
Tank is young doe & not even in the same weight division ffs. Thats for sure a no win situation for Broner.Comment

Difference is that Porter has more snap on his punch than Spence does. I liken Broner/Spence to Broner/Taylor, frankly. I think Broner rolls with punches so well that Spence would have a hard time hitting anything clean.Idk about Spence missing all night. I think Broner makes it hard to miss him at times.

AS far as Tank? I think Broner could still do lightweight, he's just lazy. I heard what he said, I don't believe him. Tank's got snap and power, but I question his defense. I think he gets caught with a "Porter Round 12 Special" when coming in for a shot.
I just think Broner would get more respect calling out TMT fighters one by one, showing he can beat them one by one. At that point it makes Floyd look ignorant if Broner takes out the whole TMT roster or a good chunk of it.
Hell, for good measure, challenge Floyd Sr. to a televised sparring and let's see if Senior can stop him like he said.Comment

I feel sorry for Broner...
Broner is a late generation and didn'T have the circumstances like the Mayweather family, which is why Floyd shows no sympathy. Floyd is no Detroit upbringing, but Grand Rapids is HELLLA racist city even today. The Midwest is hella crazy racist it's sad...
Anyhow, Broner knows what's up. It doesn't matter if Broner addresses how he's ''hood'' or that's where he came from. That's life. Broner sounds like a coherent dude and knows how the world works, so he went the cliche route to say ''fug it'' if it doesn'T get any better he'd rather role with the ideology of the rebellious rappers that continue to swing the NWA. That's fine...I can agree with that...
but Broner... you can't go off on Floyd for the simple fact that you weren't made at the young age nor even came close to a Genaro Hernandez or the Olympics before... Floyd paid his due... if he ain't feeling you, just take it like a MAN brah!Comment

I am not seeing what you are seeing. I think Porter diminishes his own power cuz he smothers guys a lil too much. Its like he has depth perception issues or is the boxing version of a close talker or something lol. He doesn't got the snap on his punches that he could have by making a lil more room. Spence on the otherhand seemed to measure distance well vs his first live opponent in Algieri & landed a ton of great punches that stopped a kid who wasn't stopped by Manny or Provo (or Khan, but thats less impressive sounding).
LOL Broner can't even make 140. And sure Tank's defense is ****ty. He's not fought a live guy yet & isn't used to having punches thrown at him all that much yet. At least vs solid to good fighters. Its standard boxing prospect ****. But again the main point with your fantasy 4 time champion vs an unproven young prospect fight is it never really does anything for Broner cuz its an unproven young prospect he's fighting so its lose lose.AS far as Tank? I think Broner could still do lightweight, he's just lazy. I heard what he said, I don't believe him. Tank's got snap and power, but I question his defense.

I think Broner should do his own thing & quit messing with Floyd. He's taken a beta stance towards Floyd for too long to change that dynamic. He needs to fight better guys then TMT has to offer. Theophane is probably the best TMT guy Broner could have fought. And that felt like a big step down for Broner to me. Fighting a guy who weighs less & is less proven like Tank is ******. Broner needs to get in his own line & quit worrying about Floyd. Time for him to be his own man.I just think Broner would get more respect calling out TMT fighters one by one, showing he can beat them one by one.

The problem is, it's Algieri. Spence I still see has a speed issue. Great body work and fantastic power, but speed is a problem for him. Not a problem for The Problem.I am not seeing what you are seeing. I think Porter diminishes his own power cuz he smothers guys a lil too much. Its like he has depth perception issues or is the boxing version of a close talker or something lol. He doesn't got the snap on his punches that he could have by making a lil more room.

What it does do, is embarrass Floyd. That's all it's meant to do - take a guy that Floyd says is the "next Mayweather" - and school him.LOL Broner can't even make 140. And sure Tank's defense is ****ty. He's not fought a live guy yet & isn't used to having punches thrown at him all that much yet. At least vs solid to good fighters.

And I'm not convinced Broner "can't" make lightweight. I think he chooses not to. He himself said he just feels or doesn't feel like doing things. I think he's lazy. His best work was under 140 easily.
I don't disagree, but he's too far down the rabbit hole. He has to regain some respect by doing something, otherwise he'll always be known as "the guy Floyd embarrassed".I think Broner should do his own thing & quit messing with Floyd. He's taken a beta stance towards Floyd for too long to change that dynamic. He needs to fight better guys then TMT has to offer. Theophane is probably the best TMT guy Broner could have fought.
