You know, with Broner, I'm not 100% in yet. I think he's not really been tested against what I'd say is a top fighter. The only strong test at 135 is DeMarco, and I will never get the pciture out of my head of Valero dazzling DeMarco with his footwork and him being completely unable to deal with it. Broner doesn't have Valero level footwork, but he has good footwork and very fast hand like Valero had.

Ahhhhh.... Valero. That night against DeMarco, I was 100% ONBOARD, he was sensational, and with a huge gash from an elbow early doors too. Great fighter. Would love that fight in HD.....
Valero was just starting to display some boxing skills when he crashed and burned.

Broner is as fast as anyone in boxing right now including the likes of Gamboa and Russell Jr. Broners style to me is like a hybrid of Benton, Floyd and Ward with a little Robinson thrown in with his willingness to engage. He keeps a pretty wide stance behind that shoulder and remains flat footed much of the time giving him crushing power from either side. Very difficult to get to in the way he lines up and he is an incredible counter puncher. I guess he could become a dud but I highly doubt it.
Yeah, Valero's boxing was fantastic against DeMarco, his footwork was wonderful.

Broner, apart from him being a dick, I can see everything there. Aside from the PDL fight, I don't remember seeing him get hit. Ha. He will do, and its how he reacts. Fighting a tough as old boots Rios at 140 or fast power puncher like Gamboa will see whether he can swim. His flat footedness may be what gets him hit against someone quick.
