    I don't it's fair to compare him to Berto.

    Atleast Broner has skills, and a style.

      broner's the real deal. i think he will have an even better and even more undefeated career than the great joe calzaghe.

        Comparing what they were allowed to face on HBO during development is perfectly fair. I think he'll end up a better pro.

          the only thing those two have in common are the speed and power

          berto had great speed coming up. he was never a good boxer.

          broner is a very good boxer. damn good. lightyears beyond where berto has ever been, even at 22.

          you're right about one thing, it's all about what he can do against larger men now.

            Again, just referencing what we're getting on HBO on that point.

                what you are trying to say without sounding like an ****** is broner is being hand fed easy opposition just like berto was. this is true but most people just don't care.

                  I could say it like that and not sound like an ******. Is what it is.

                    I think its a much fairer comparison than comparing him to mayweather.

                    He really lacks the defensive awareness that Mayweather has, nomatter how badly he wants to have them. He is much less fluid, and he gets touched up WAY more than Floyd ever did, pretty much exactly like Berto did.

                      Has Broner ever been asked if he would like to fight Floyd one day? I wonder what he would say.
