          I might increase my bet with Cleto, depending on how much I have by the time November comes around.

            He'll be a constant factor, but will probably be able to bite Floyd's style so long that he won't be able to change when he needs to. That's what will bite him in the ass, the way he tries to copy everything Floyd does, it doesn't come naturally.

            I don't see greatness, maybe very goodness at best.

              Broner can be as good as Broner WANTS TO BE!

              He has all the potential in the world, it is all up to him to stay focus and continue to get better and take on ALL COMERS, don't duck or dodge anybody like some of these OTHER FIGHTERS!

              Ward is getting his respect because took the time to CLEAN OUT HIS DIVISION and has taken on all comers, so all people can do is complain about his style and the fact that he fights in Oakland because they can't really criticize anything else

              He should stay at 135 and clean that thing out from TOP TO BOTTOM, try to take out DeMarco, Vazquez and Burns before even thinking about moving up

                As long as he doesn't copy the bad habits like going on vacation. Broner can talk ALL the shit he wants to, as long as he fights the best available and makes the effort to clean up every division he's in.

                  I'm not talking about outside the ring, I mean inside the ring. He tries so hard to fight like Floyd, and you can tell it's not natural for him. Against a good enough fighter, that will get him in trouble. I can see him looking for the same punches that Floyd would try to land and getting tagged in the process.

                    Worst case is always the Jeff Lacy scenario, take a big fight right on the way up, take a terrible one sided beating, then sustain a horrible injury that would effect his speed punching power or movement. That kind of thing would be the worst based on his skill and talent level.

                    In between he could be like Zab win some lose some big ones and always remain a name and fringe contender, a superstar journeymen so to speak.

                    Best is he takes everything very serious and fights until he is p4p 1, he has that kind of potential so it wouldn't be a shock if he stayed on that path and improved that he would get there.

                    Honestly, he's too young to go all in on or pull out on, he is a young fighter with alot of upside anything can happen but we all have to wait and see. Maybe adding a ****m Richardson type to his camp as he moved up in weight would be helpful.

                      Well, what type of style do you think would come naturally to him, if not the style he's using now? Are you referring to his offense or his defense?
