Is Broner another Jeff Lacy/Danny Jacobs hype job?

[Twako]

too early to tell if he's all hype, but he sure do get a lot of hype because of similar style w/ floyd. BUT when floyd was as young as him, floyd was more dynamic, more aggressive, more of a risk taker and therefore exciting. adrien's style is the floyd of today. if he doesn't bring his KOs to the higher weights where he really should belong, he'd be boring as fvkk.

Lacy was a hype job

Jacobs was a prospect who was KO'd by a dude who would give Sergio a run for his money in the early rounds. No shame there, his Guardian Gran died that week, give the guy a break.

Broner's good not great........yet, too early to tell.

AMEN!!

pavlik, bradley and bute arent hypejobs, they were overrated perhaps but they are all world class fighters who have atleast good resumes and meaningful title reigns. kirkland beat good fighters too, he might be overrated but hes no hypejob. he can fight. broner already proved himself to be much better than jacobs, helenius and lacy.

you dont seem to know what a hypejob is my friend. but to answer the question broner is a solid fighter with chances to be a great fighter. we dont know that just yet, but i dont see how anyone can watch him fight and say hes not a good fighter.

AMEN to this as well.

is it the media that makes people hype jobs or does any loss or hard fight make u a hype job? just curious

[any craic lad?]

Broner has shown tremendous skills against so far decent opposition and while Lacy was a hypejob its a little unfair to throw Danny Jacobs in there the kids only 25 has lost too a good fighter while going through some rough personal troubles and now is return too the ring has been put on hold due too cancer the guys gone through alot already

I know its going off thread but just seen this

Former world middleweight title challenger Daniel Jacobs is aiming to defy the odds and return to the ring later this year, having fought back from being diagnosed with a rare form a spinal cancer.


The 25 year-old had stopped two opponents since losing out to Dmitry Pirog for the WBO title in in July 2010, before being diagnosed in May 2011 and after undergoing major surgery on his back that left him with a huge scar, Jacobs is eager to astound the doctors and resume his boxing career.


“This last whole year seems like a blur I guess. Since I had my dreams set on this big time return, the months have just flown by,” Jacobs told World Boxing News.


“I haven’t set any specific targets for myself as my immediate goal is to just step foot in the ring!“


"Then, I need to get the right opponents to give me the proper work that will allow me to get my ring rust off and at the same time, have the necessary skills where I can still learn.


“Nothing has changed regarding my dreams as I still want to become a world champion, inspire as many people as possible with my story, and retire with much success and with my brain still intact.”


Jacobs spectacular comeback story could be completed by October as the American hopes to fight on the undercard of Paulie Malignaggi’s first WBA welterweight title defence at the new Barclays Arena and 'the Golden Child' is fully focused on a future in boxing.


“All going well, my next fight will be on the 20th of that month at the new Brooklyn stadium,” Jacobs explained.


“Without looking too far ahead, it will be a picture perfect story if I can get a rematch with Pirog. But I realise that I am in no position right now to make any demands, so I'll sit back, get the ring rust out and evolve as a complete fighter and then I can go for the rematch,” he added

Good for him

hes fought a few professional fighters thats not bad, having a hard fight does not = exsposed its just a hard fight, maybe his style was hard for a bron (it happens)... hes still learning and finding his comfort level.

[illmaticfighter]

if you lose or have a hard fight with any fighter according to boxingscene your either a bum or a hypejob.

[kill the body]

No he has a solid foundation with real boxing fundamentals,he does not only rely on speed,power or any thing specific he is a well rounded fighter.
