He's an ass, but people may as will get comfortable with Broner's position in boxing. I very much doubt he'll be going anywhere soon, accept north of course. He's a stud, that much is plain, and he's as skilled a fighter at 22 I've seen since Mayweather himself.
He emulates post 2005 Floyd almost completely, but he has more dog in him than cat. He isn't as diverse in his offense, and he doesn't attack from as many angles. His defense is excellent, but he doesn't have Floyd's head movement, something that could potentially cost him down the line. Where Floyd throws the right straight, Broner throws the jab, but they both love those straights and hooks to the body. He's bigger and stronger than Floyd, but I'm not quite certain he's the talent Floyd was. Floyd had greater hand speed, and at the LW had a similarly impressive KO%.
I'll reserve judgement until I see him in bigger fights against great competition, but all things considered he's an impressive prospect.
