I guess Broner will just have to settle on being an above average boxer then. Looks like he gotta get some more quality wins to be elevated to good boxer.

JMM at his highest point? Why cuz he slept Manny...a guy who is clearly past his prime? :camby:
JMM was and always will be best as a FW. Just because he made more money and fought bigger names at 147 dont make him prime there. Dude is a 40 year old LW at best. Great fighter, but to me, STOPPING a good champion (a guy who beat BHop) is better than a close decision over a guy 8 years and 20lbs past him prime. and it really dont matter what Stevenson did AFTER Ward did it. but you enjoy the hype breh.
Hype :camby: I'm one of the few on here who DON'T shyt on Bradley. Don't catch feelings because Crawford isn't near his level. Start and end of it.

Breh.........Terence Crawford said it himself:mindblown:


Why are you even arguing it, when your fighter said:


p

5447




So, Crawford himself thinks he was fighting a blown up featherweight, but we're supposed to just dismiss it?:dwillhuh:



That's exactly what it was. Yes, Crawford got a good victory, but it is what it is. Let's not act like Gamboa was a legitimate 135lber


I'm surprised he would say that

Skill only takes you so far once you keep increasing in weight.


Floyd Mayweather aint EVER stepping foot in the ring with GGG, because that's almost a death sentence......even though he's willing to fight Cotto (another "middleweight") for the Middleweight Championship:sas1:


I wonder why?:sas2:
The big conundrum. Matching smaller guys vs bigger guys and wondering how much speed can take the smaller guys vs the power of the bigger guy. If anyone can do it it is Floyd, because he is so defensively intelligent. At what point is just grazing punches and punches landing on arms and shoulders enough to wear you down from a bigger guy?

Good video here showing that a substantially quicker guy can move around the ring and have a speed advantage, but won't be able to hurt the larger guy.
Mosley obviously aware and moving the entire time. With smaller gloves, no headgear, and a live fight situation where the bigger guy tries to take you out though. :patrice:


Mosley says GGG hits like a LH...but as we all know, the smartest way to GGG doesn't appear to be going toe-to-toe, it is going to be through a fighter with movement.
@ 55 sec in.

So you're saying he's a C fighter?:usure:
I'm saying his skills are average. He is a b type fighter.

His footwork is horrible and He has no defense.

He has speed and he throws and combination, That's it. He is a fun fighter to watch but his skill is average.

His defense is above average imo.

I agree with you on the footwork part but he isn't an easy guy to hit.

Where did this myth he has no defense start?:heh:


Maidana and Malignaggi BOTH said he's hard to hit, both only landed 28% (Marcos) and 25% (Paulie) of their punches against him, Maidana just so happened to have the power to make the ones he landed over the top count.


He has defense, he doesnt USE footwork so to say it's horrible is kinda crazy....he stands in front of you and likes to walk down his opponent. He hasnt shown any really footwork, or movement, to say it's neither good nor bad. I think it's counter productive, because if he BOXED, he'd be much better, but he likes to stand there:manny:


Another thing, B fighters dont have average skills....C fighters do.


Broner is not just average. He's better than average.
