    Just laugh at it. He's not a hateful guy, he's just having fun.

        Broner has more talent in his little finger than (Jacobs + Lacy) x10.

        He is a hype job. Just one with talent.

          You can't be talking about Jeff 'Mike Tyson' Lacy, surely?

              You'd have to ask them. All we can do is speculate. Maybe real boxing experts believe he's that good. Maybe he's in the Ring Magazine's top ten, because of Oscar De La Hoya, who owns it. As for ESPN, I don't know. I think he's talented enough to be there, but I'd still like to see how good of a chin he has. I think Broner is a very good fighter and I do defend him a lot, but I do realize there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

                Bradley a hype job?.
                I actually think he is underrated, how many fighters have the likes of Alexander, Lamont Peterson, Abregu and Pacquiao in their resumee?.
                (The Pacquiao fight was a lot closer than people think IMO, it was nothing like a 10-2 for Pac)

                I also disagree with Pavlik and Jacobs being hype jobs.

                As for Broner, the kid has skills, that's for sure.
                He needs to stay focused, train hard and improve even more, that's the only way to become great. Even if he doesn't manage though I would still label it as a waste of talent rather than a hype.

                I am neither Mexican nor American, so I have no bias in saying that if I had to pick a hype job I'd think of either Chavez Jr or Canelo.

                  Hard to tell to early, but so far he looks good..he is technically sound.

                    From what I see, he's very tough to beat.

                    He's got all the raw material to take over the game, he just needs to develop properly and make good career decisons.

                      You guys still don't see it? Both Jacobs and Lacy were both talked about exactly like Broner is now at some point in their careers. Lacy was like 21-0 (18 ko/tko/rtd's) before he lost to Calzaghe, people were saying he was unbeatable. Broner is just another one in the long line of dudes who is getting too big for his britches.
