    Obviously, Broner DOESN'T Fight like Maidana or Garcia, But Didn't Garcia Catch Kahn w/a COUNTER???...Broner's a SUPERIOR Counterpuncher to Garcia, Probaby Hits AS HARD, if Not Harder, AND he's Brave Enough to Punch WHEN Khan Punches...

    REED's in Agreement that Khan would Likely have more ROUNDS in his Favor, but he WOULD Get KO'ed...

    Regardless, his punches would do more damage than Rees. I'm not making him out to be Julian Jackson but he can hit hard and fast enough to have an effect

    Khan is NOT going to win...he might win a few rounds by jabbing, scared right hand/clinch combo..but eventually he get tag with something that fucks his world up and does a dance.

    that little midget khan fought in his last fight was timing him with counter hooks he just had zero pop. broner fucks khan up and it would be an easy fight for him.

    I agree, Broner got major talent, but let's wait untill he has a couple of wins vs A guy's before annoiting him as unbeatable. Plus, Khan mobility and long reach game would cause Broner problem imo. Still, I would pick Broner to start dominating the later rounds toward a late ko or close UD, but wouldn't be shocked to see Khan pull the upset

    Broner's a good finisher once he gets a guy in real trouble.

    He's not a slow, winging, caveman like Maidana.

    Once Broner gets Khan on Queer street, the fight would be as good as over. Broner is too fast, and too accurate for Khan to survive once he's hurt.

    Garcia isn't even an aggressive fighter Hut.

    Garcia is a naturally counter puncher.

    Broner is MUCH more effective at pressuring a guy than Garcia is.

    Peterson ain't exactly Duran-like in aggression either, and Peterson doesn't hit HALF as hard as Broner.

    The fact remains that Broner hasn't fought anyone with the attributes Khan possesses. Until he does then I'm not going to just write off Amirs chances. It could well be the case that Broner goes in there and obliterates him, but I'm not going to just assume that's the case when Amir would quite clearly be the best win of his career at the moment.

    At some point Broner would punch Kahn really hard in the face and the fight will be over.

    He has thrown two punches of great quality his entire career, and one of them was the left hand to the body he almost stopped Maidana with.

    Khan's left hook to the body is by far his most powerful punch. That's the only punch Broner would have to be cautious of.

    Khan doesn't have much power to the head.

    Khan has more raw handspeed than Broner, but it's negated by the fact that Broner actually knows how to utilize his handspeed.

    Broner puts together HURTFUL combinations with the intent to do fight ending damage, whereas Khan just puts together his bullshit flurry combos to score points, and keep guys off him. There's actually THOUGHT behind Broner's punching...... no thought goes into Amir's punching.

    Garcia was able to punch with Khan, and Garcia has nowhere near Broner's speed.

    Sometimes, when Broner lets his hands go, it looks messy as anything but he gets in one or two big shots.

    I agree with pretty much everything you've said in this thread. Khan would have some success when fighting at a distance but make no mistake about it...Khan would be the one running not Broner.

    I think Khan's "handspeed" would work to his detriment seeing that he often punches wide and has a poor sense of how to break distance...which is why he tends to get caught with shots he shouldn't.

    As far as Broner getting hit with shots from Rees, of course you're going to get hit some when you're willing to stand in and trade with a guy. Broner didn't run and hasn't run in most of his last few fights. Wasn't that the biggest complaint against him?

    The only thing left to see about Broner is how he handles a good shot. I've yet to see that. If he can take a shot then the kid is the goods.

    Khan would have a significant advantage in height and reach and like I said before he'd be the one running not Broner. That's the only shot he has...use his jab and completely stay away from Broner. If he goes anywhere inside or even tries to fall in and hold Broner he gets caught with uppercuts and everything else Broner decides to throw at him.

    Despite what folks thinks about his personna, Broner FIGHTS and finishes. He stands in and trades shots. Can't see what there's not to like about that.


    *Edit" I just checked and found Khan is 5' 8 1/2 and Broner is 5' 7"...they have the same reach. This means more trouble for Khan.

    Muzse is correct. Broner has long arms, so Khan would be further fucked.

    Khan's handspeed means NOTHING because he has poor defensive reflexes, is a poor judge of distance, and zero headmovement.

    The most impressive he's ever looked is beating up an over-the-hill Judah, who can no longer pull the trigger like he once could.

    Seems unlikely, at least not for a long while. Khan is going to 147 & while Broner's frame could hold that weight, he won't be there for a long time

    Broner looks huge at 135 lbs, I don't expect him to be there much longer. And while he may settle at 140 for some time, I doubt they wouldn't be able to make an agreement for a catch weight

    Did anyone else see that Broner nearly lost to De Leon, the toughest guy he's faced? I'll reserve judgement on Broner for now. At this point, he's proven he has fast hands and that he can hit hard. Guess who else proved that? Andre Berto.

    Basically, Broner is going in there at this point and overpowering his opponents. He's clearly more skilled than Berto, and can counter punch better, and the comparison to Berto may be hyperbole, but let's be honest with outselves - he hasn't proven shit at this point.

    DeMarco sucks more. Ponce is a featherweight, who beat Broner. DeMarco is just a big, useless lightweight.

    Ponce De Leon resume is also better than DeMarco's..just because Ponce De Leon got blasted by Juanma and Ko'ed by Gamboa doesn't make him a bum...he got beat...somehow the great BRONER didn't have such and easy time with him..it happens...

    But let's not act like Broner is some sure thing against the guys at 140(especially RIOS and Matthyssee but also Garcia) some have even said that Broner would give Bradley the business at a 140 or a catchweight....hilarious BRONER hasn't done a damn thing YET....best OPPONENT was PONCE DE LEON..a guy some thought he lose 2.

    Broner :lol:

    Those 3 guys DeMarco beat are borderline scrubs, and he was getting beaten easily by Linares until Linares' fragility came into play.
