Spence vs. Broner

[hayZ]

Broner should not be at 147.

Porter, Thurman, Garcia, Khan, Brook, Spence would beat him decisively.

He's on the level of Guerrero/Berto to be honest.

He should join a PROPER team, not those yes-men he is currently with and clean up his lifestyle and try and stay at 140 as long as he can. Back in 2012 the world was his. Now we know he can't handle pressure well, has slow feet and has low punch output. A damn shame. We have too many good guys in the Sport, Broner would have made a great heel at the top of WW if he made the right decisions back then.

Broner is just a douchebag. Sad because he can fight

What is ppls fascination with wanting to see Broner get beat up?

In all likelihood it's probably a one sided beating, true. But Broner's still a tougher fight than Algieri and Bundu (especially Bundu).

Spence reminds me of Broner in terms of hype, 3 years ago Broner had the hype Spence had, once Spence steps up to a Maidana type guy he'll be exposed too. This guy almost got knocked out by Emmanuel Lartei.

Careful. Panties might be ruffled talking about Spence like that here

A good match Broner can box better FOTY

I can't disagree with that.

If you go back on this forum 3 or 4 years, you will see the same threads about Broner as we're seeing about Spence now.

I don't know man, Spence is waaayyyy more versatile than Broner. I do think the hype being placed on him is pretty outrageous right now, I mean maybe in time he'll more than deserve it all...but as of the moment it's way over the top.

But I don't really see a Broner comparison at all. I know you're not comparing their skill set per se, you're just talking in terms of hype -- but still. Spence is like a 5 tool player in baseball. He has all the tools. Elite potential in those tools, too. Broner was just a solid counter puncher with power at LW who feasted on completely overmatched opposition.
