Solid comments here. Thanks for the response guys. I do think some of you misunderstood me a bit though. I said he had a Mayweatheresque attitude OUTSIDE the ring. I'm not comparing him to Floyd inside the ring. Too early for that. His defensive set is similiar to Money in that he tries to hide behind that shoulder, but it will be YEARS before he refines it to Floyds level, if he ever achieves that at all. From a boxing purist standpoint, you simply have to appreciate Floyd more. The skill is there, pinpoint accuracy, possibly the best defense we've ever seen. But, sometimes...SOMETIMES...that makes for boring fights, which is why Floyd has to sell some of his fights with his mouth. Strictly from a casual boxing fans standpoint, if you want to see someone get knocked out LEGITAMITELY (Money/Ortiz..lol), you want to see Broner. Yeah, his stance is wide and that leaves him succeptible to hits...that's what alot of fans want to see...even I do sometimes. Sometimes we just want to see 2 guys beat the living hell out of eachother. It's entertaining. That's why I'm pulling for Broner right now. He's entertaining and he has the skill set...it just needs to be refined. As far as some of you talking about Broner vs. Matthyse...I'm betting that would be a much more entertaining fight than Mayweather/Gruerro.
