Is Broner's win over DeMarco Equal to Mayweather's win over Corrales?

Like most said, I don't think Demarco (who is a solid fighter) is on the same level as Corrales was in 2001. Corrales was also undefeated at 33-0 (27), so he hadn't yet been bested whereas Demarco had already been spanked by Valero.

I think Broner earns extra points by the way in which he won, though. He stood in the pocket with a dangerous banger and blasted him out, whereas Floyd utilized his movement.

i didnt really apreciate how good the mayweather performance over corrales was until a long time after it happened

perhaps it will be the same as with this fight

a lot of people are saying corrales was a lot better than demarco is

that could well be true but corrales is a legendary fighter because he is dead and because of the castilo fight and i think a lot of people will remember him with rose tinted glasses

No one said he was a "legendary" fighter...but he was a damn good one...WAY better than Demarco...and that has nothing to do with his death. At the time Mayweather fought him...Corrales was a top pound for pound fighter...something that Demarco is not close to being.

And completely outboxed by Vasquez, prior to knocking him out.

Would you say the fanfare that Broner has received after his win is equal to what Mayweather received after the win over Corrales?

It's not even close.

Corrales was 6'1 and outweighed Floyd by at least 10lbs. Broner could afford to stay in the pocket with a guy who was smaller than he was. Let's see him do it at welterweight. Corrales was much more a banger than DeMarco.
