    Is Adrien Broner all hype?

    or is he the succeeder possibly to Floyd Mayweather? Will he be a top pound for pound great for many years?

    He has potential but no he will never be a top P4P especially if he intends on fighting 5ft2" borderline midgets he has a 25lb weight advantage over.

      I'd place my money on Andre Ward all day, in front of Broner. I've seen him struggle against a comeforward journeyman.

      And this comparison to Mayweather needs to stop, he has done NOTHING to put him in the same sentence at all.

        yeah fair point, do you see him becoming a top 10 pound for pounder then? or there abouts?

            He looks a good fighter with plenty off talent i think Vincente will show us small bit of what hes made off tonight if he can take out Escobedo that would be a pretty good statement.135 has alot more talent then 130 so we should find out in his next few fights what hes made off

              He tries so hard it's hilarious. Just like when he choked Eloy Perez

                  So far? Yes he is

                  He's hasn't faced anybody for him to have passed the "hype" stage. I mean people were called bute and khan pure hype but they beat some good guys. Broner is the definition of hyped

                  That being said he does seem to have great skills and a bright future
