People always seem to equate speed and pop with skill and talent.
People are like "But broner has the talent to be the best if he just focused right."
His speed and pop don't equate to skill and talent in the same way that Andre Berto's speed and power don't equate to skill and talent.
Broners game has always severely lacking in nuance. People seem to see people with hand speed standing in the same posture as Floyd and assume they are skilled.
Floyd has the ability to see what you are planning, what you are trying to set up, and position himself accordingly.
He also has the ability to see how you are trying to solve him, what openings you are trying to exploit and then pick and choose when to expose that opening, because he knows you will try and capitalize on it. But you just walked into a trap, because he did that to draw a punch out of you that he can counter.
Floyd's game is nuanced. Its skillful and he is talented.
Thats what skill and talent is.
Broner is not capable of thinking on that level inside the ring. He has always been in 1 of two modes, stand infront of you and throw set combinations, or he sits back and wait to try and counter you without laying traps.
