Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner: Time For HBO To Make Me The Logo

[GRUSTLER]

A lot of people have a hate on for the guy, but he delivers in the ring and seems to be getting better every time out. I do not see him losing any time soon. He is 23 and will only get better.

I ignore his out of ring antics as to me he acts childish. He still is a kid though and for being so young, he certainly is entertaining and fights well inside the ring.

I think Broner is talented and entertaining but I bet that once he gets in the ring with a ring smart, tough, skilled and strong willed opponent he will be tested and won't look so dominant. Good win for him at 135 but lots to still prove.

I strongly dislike the guy for posting his racist comments on Twitter and Youtube. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't mind the talk or the confidence. I don't mind it with other fighters. But he can't say people are "hating on him" when he disrespects other races for no reason.

That being said, outside of what I hate about him as a person, he's still a pretty good fighter. But strictly speaking about skills, I don't see what others see. I think a lot of the fans that don't really know boxing are taking it too far in comparing him to Mayweather skill wise. To me, he reminds me of a young Shane Mosley attempting a James Toney stance (and getting hit way more). You don't notice it now because he's big for the division and he overpowers guys there. But I saw Demarco put hands on him, and those hands are just going to get heavier, faster, and more skillful at the packed 140 and 147 divisions. I see him making some entertaining fights, but I don't see him being like Mayweather, who you could put him back in time against Robinson or Leonard and still give him decent odds.
