    Adrian Broner – you all need to calm down!

    Now i know the way this site works, it was obvious that after Sat night people on here would start to gush over Adrian Broner.

    “He’s the most gifted fighter since Mayweather”
    “He’s going to be P4P number one”
    “He’s the best SFW in the world”

    Well all of this may turn out to be true, however, i do wish some of you would calm down a bit! Let’s wait until he’s really tested because so far the only thing he’s done like Mayweather is his ring entrance! He’s very, very sure of himself, and this is absolutely fine with me as long as he continues to back it up....BUT, and there’s always a but, he needs some difficult opposition. Once he’s got some real names on his CV then we can talk about him in glowing terms. Also, is the SFW division really that testing?

    For me right how he is an extremely talented prospect with an awful long way to go before the likes of Mayweather can be mentioned in the same sentence.

    Great performance on Saturday night by the way, and i look forward to his next outing, against someone who can actually punch, i hope.

    He's getting far more hate then praise. I say let it be. He's obviously extremely talented. Plus he's knocking top ten guys out. It's fun to watch.

      he's getting more talk about his "character" rather than his performance, at least on this forum, which I guess would be a good thing for his status?

        I was critical of him after the Ponce fight and thought he may have been a trash talking hypejob but the kid is really growing on me. His antics outside the ring and sometimes in it too though brash don't seem to me to be self praising in a serious manner in the disgusting way Hopkins's are but more like he is just having a great time. He may be a trash talker but he has been backing up what he is saying with his skills and ability more and more in the ring.

          I told everyone after that fight that it was just that Ponce was a Southpaw and that he would look 10x better against a righty

              he's pretty good.... has real potential to be a top fighter.
              still want to see him get knocked out though.

                  LMAO

                  dude been getting more hate than praise....the sad part about it is that dudes won't dare give him the title as the "Next Floyd" but they give him the same treatment though....its funny, ask dudes what they hate about Broner and it will have NOTHING to do with his fight game...ask dudes what they hate about Floyd and it will have NOTHING to do with his fight game.....I guess its not enough Joe Louis in the DNA of those 2 brown bombers!! lol
