By Chris Williams: Unbeaten former WBO super featherweight champion Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) really likes his chances against Manny Pacquiao if they were to fight now. Broner, 23, sees himself beating the Filipino star if two were to meet right now.
Speaking with Fighthype.com, Broner said this about what would happen if he fought Pacquiao:
“If he signed on that dotted line I’d f*** him [Pacquiao] up too…we could fight at 147…He’s used to not getting his hand raised.”
I believe Broner would beat Pacquiao, because he can do everything that Floyd Mayweather Jr. can do and is about as big as him. I don’t give Pacquiao any chance in the world of beating Mayweather Jr, and I think Broner would do the exact same thing to Pacquiao as Mayweather would. Broner would sit down on his punches a little more than Mayweather would and I think he could get Pacquiao out of there if he put hands on him.
With Pacquiao only looking to open up in the last seconds of the rounds, Broner would be free to tee off on him for long stretches of every round. The thing is if you let Broner hit you for 2 1/2 minutes of every round you’re not going to last long even if you’re Pacquiao.
In his recent fights, Pacquiao’s ability to move around the ring appears to have badly degraded to the point where he’s now walking around the ring and looking exhausted. Pacquiao’s defense in the past was his ability to move around, but with his leg cramping problems his mobility is limited.
