they both look spectacular and i think both are 22? they both are being fed B- fighters at best. but the talent is certainly there. who do you see being the bigger star in the future?
I don't think either one is worth a damn. It is easy to look good against C-class competition. However, once you win a world championship, you should start fighting A-class competition. Neither one has done that. Both are still fighting journeymen and guys in lower weight divisions while their promoter is hailing them as the second coming of Floyd Mayweather. If either one of them were to get into the ring with A-class competition, both would get their a.sses handed to them (if you don't believe this, go back and look at Ricky Hatton's record).
maybe so, but at the end of the day. there isnt much a class opposition out there. u have floyd, manny, sergio, jmm, cotto. thas about it. its the b class guys they will be fighting. and i think they have as good a chance as not to beat those guys. imo, neither guy is good enough to be the next anything. they may end up hall of famers. but they are a long way from atgs or anything like that. but the major factor here is that they have time. they have plenty of time. broner hasnt exactly been protected. hes been in with decent guys and he was in with ponce at about his 20th fight. and it seems gbp is willing to send him in with anyone at 135. but he needs to step it up fast. canelo has been fighting fighters not even in his weight class. why? i dunno. but that tells me that gbp arent as confident in his abilities as some around here. i want to see him fight cotto, a fight i dont really think he wins rite now. i want broner in there with gamboa, a winnable fight for both guys. to me, those fights will tell us the reach of either of these guys and their ability to become stars or not. i know both will lose. id bet money on it, but i dont think those loses will break them.
Broner. Not even close. If golden boy allows floyd to get in the ring with canelo, floyd will take his soul.
if golden boy allowed canelo to face top contenders at 154 he probably lose.
as much as i hate broner he does have talent and has been more impressive with his soft opposition than canelo has against his soft opposition

Canelo would be better becuz he's vulnerable enough to incorporate excitement to his fights
Broner's more than likely gonna start being more defensive once he moves up in weight and fights better opponents. More defensive, more boring
But that's just a guess, Honestly Id be happy either way
Boring? boring? He knocked Litzau out in the first round how did you get bored in two minuets? This guy is aggressive, has very fast hands, slick boxer and puts guys to sleep. He's 'boring' to you because he is black. The highest paid athelete in the world is a fighter and yep he is an 'other ethncity'.
He was boring leading up to it, and the Mexican fans at the stadium started boo'ing before the knock out. Then they cheered and went crazy for him when Broner knocked him out. Then they boo'ed Broner again went he started dancing around like a clown and posing on the turnbuckles. Mexican fans don't like that bs from their own fighters either, win or lose... you don't believe me, watch the fight again.
And Floyd is the highest paid athlete in the world because he's the best skilled fighter in the world. People throw around the word "slick" like it means something. You could be slick and still sloppy like Broner or a young Judah. Mayweather is slick AND fundamentally sound. There's more to his defense than a simple shoulder roll, and quick hands. If you want to see the next Mayweather in terms of learned skill and talent together, it's Gary Russell Jr, not Broner.
Broner will be a good fighter in his own right though, but not as good as Mayweather it seems.

you gotta stop this crap about rascism, you gotta stop acting like a paranoid person, red k
Yeah, he had a sad story at the start of his career, but let's face it, what gave Oscar his fame outside of boxing were his looks. Girls used to go to his fights by themselves lol (no boyfriend or siblings). Canelo's got Broner beat in that respect. Girls go crazy for the guy already.
Sure, Broner's gone to Mexico, but people over there boo'ed him after he beat Litzau because he was boring as hell leading up to the knockout. And when it happened, he danced around like a clown (Mexicans as a culture tend to hate showboating... Jorge Paez Sr being the only exception), and fans boo'ed even harder. Plus Broner's already a PR nightmare for Golden Boy because of his racist twitter rants against Mexicans lol.
As far as being popular in the UK, I'll put my money on the Irish-looking kid capturing more fans than Broner. Same reason Hatton has more fans in the UK than better English-born fighters of other ethnicities.

Canelo is already something of a star
and Broner isn't going anywhere
people hae 1 Floyd, and that's enough
Broner would have to come up with something original to sell
ripping off another guy's persona isn't gonna hold up too long
What does looks have to do with it?
silly comparison broner fights below welterweight and probably will for most of his career....
Canelo fights at a weight more people care about and just looks alone has broner beat
Canelo is looking like the heir to Hoya's PPV success
Both are talented fighters
As for weight, Broner will be a welterweight in three years and Canelo will be 154 or 160, both popular weight classes. Broner has already generated more buzz in boxing than Canelo. He is marketing himself as a bad boy and haters buy ppvs. Canelo has a strong mexican following but he needs to learn english to build a base in the U.S. What does looks have to do with it? Unless you're gay, or a racist.
