    because he will be massively hyped and odds will be infalted just like Amir Cona nd we all know we make money in boxing with hyped up fighters

    Broner is great and skilled but here are some flaws

    -lacks footwork, the name of the game
    -will struggled with a boxer, a guy with length, a guy who can fight at range
    -a boxer with those ^^^ abilities will be banking rounds against Broner
    -Broner doesn't try and throw punches at range, only punch is mayne the left hook but other than that nothing, you can win rounds vs him


    so that's it folks, I will be looking for a fighter who can do these things.  @ 135 I see the PR Vazquex who can beat Broner.  Tall, very underated, very very good fighter, sticks a jab

    Broner's footwork is only flawed in that he has a very wide stance, which makes him slower to adjust to a sharp angle turn. An angle turn on the outside (i.e. Vasquez style), wouldn't really pose too big of a problem for Broner.
    One jab is easy to counter but a fast double-jab-cross at range is problematic for the shoulder-roll style (DLH vs Mayweather). Unfortunately Vasquez doesn't have the athleticism unnecessary to make this particular combo troublesome.

    If Jorge Linares had better a better chin and cut resistance, then I could see myself putting a few bucks on him, but Linares would most likely start well, then begin to fade, then begin to bust up, and then get rocked and stopped.
    A prime Pacquiao (135 lbs) fits the necessary criteria to trouble Broner, but maybe not anymore.
    Broner in my mind is currently unbeatable at lightweight.

    I meant necessary.

    Also, Broner has his mouth wide open all the time.He's asking to have his jaw broken. Somebody should make him watch the Ortiz-Lopez fight.

    I agree with his jaw always being open, that is a huge problem. BUT he is way too fast and quick for almost anyone at 140. 
     Trust me when I tell you he is 5'6 at the tallest. Everywhere I read, espn, boxing scene and so forth, people say he walks around at 160. This can not be true, I am 5'7 an I was an 1 and 1/2 inches taller than him, I was wearing dress shoes but so was he. His legs are like sticks so he does not carry that much weight. I say this because I have a hard time seeing him fighting at 154 like many want him to. He can make 147 but 154 is too much.

    That would be a great fight. That fight would be so good it won't happen.

    Broner is great and skilled but here are some flaws

    -lacks footwork, the name of the game
    -will struggled with a boxer, a guy with length, a guy who can fight at range
    -a boxer with those ^^^ abilities will be banking rounds against Broner
    -Broner doesn't try and throw punches at range, only punch is mayne the left hook but other than that nothing, you can win rounds vs him


    so that's it folks, I will be looking for a fighter who can do these things.  @ 135 I 

    and I stand bu my comment I think Vazquez will beat Broner and his team knows this.

    I stand by these comments still.
