Adrien Broner is Good For Boxing

Probably going to get pelters from all angles for this thread but I think Adrien Broner is good for boxing and always have. He's got personality and there aren't many characters left in the sport any more. I find him FAR more naturally charismatic and way funnier than Floyd Mayweather (who he is always compared to). Some of his sh1t is a bit corny and hit 'n' miss but I find myself laughing more often than not. A bit silly but at least he's trying to be creative. Not up there spouting the same old tired sh1t about money or being completely deadpan. It got a laugh out of me. The Malignaggi build-up was probably the most entertaining sh1t I've ever seen since Prince Naseem and Kevin Kelly. I wouldn't say I'm a diehard fan. I don't rate him that highly as a boxer but I would like to see him do well and be involved in some big fights because it would be entertaining regardless.

Anyone who doesn't think Broner is good for boxing needs to get their eyes checked.

If Fraud jr keeps ducking PAC, give broner the PAC fight. Boxing needs a shake up. PAC would be teeing off on broner but build up would be entertaining

He's good (for boxing) as long as he's relegated to B level fighters. Right now everyone wants a piece of him. Thurman is probably saying to himself, "Come on, give him to me and I'll make it look easy."

P. Will, Crawford, Jacobs, Kirkland, Mosley, Forrest, Cunningham. They aren't "beloved by all", but they don't receive much hate. Peterson didn't receive hate until his testosterone 'situation'. Fair play , those are some good names. I was wrong .

Name 2 American black fighters in the last 5 years that have been beloved by all P. Will, Crawford, Jacobs, Kirkland, Mosley, Forrest, Cunningham. They aren't "beloved by all", but they don't receive much hate. Peterson didn't receive hate until his testosterone 'situation'.

Shane Mosley gets a ridiculous amount of love and romanticism considering he's an admitted steroid cheat. I'm sure there are a small minority of people who don't like Broner simply because he's black but it's kinda lazy to just play the race card so easily. He markets himself in a way in which is going to generate a lot of negativity.....same as Mayweather. I got no motives to play the race card I'm not even black Move along dirk , get out of your own thread :rofl:

Broner is erudite in his own way. The dude definitely has a bit of charm. And in the ring he delivers as far as I am concerned. He is a world class fighter and if he stays away from 147 he will in some great fights.

Maidana be ducking Broner. After Maidana saw that Left by AB that hit Taylor, He got scared. Maidana don't want none of AB now. AB wins the rematch, Easy work. :lol1: hilarious. Anyway I agree. He may be a bit challenged outside of the ring but inside of it he has a good role to play in the sport. Like many have stated multiple times before, he needs to become a more aggressive fighter rather than giving his opponents an advantage by fighting with a style that doesn't fit his key attributes. He has a monstrous chin, good power and speed. He just needs to let his hands go more often, work on his stamina and completely delete his Floyd impressions from his database.
