No matter how hard Broner tries, he will never have charisma

[The Big Dunn]

I think broner is trying to hard to work in his one liners now. The rappin would be better if he could actually spit. I laugh at him as much as I do with him. So I just conectrate on him in the ring where he's shaping. Up to be a great fighter. Hopefully his shtick gets more genuine and less minstrel showish.

Broner sems to be running outta material....as far as his talking goes, he had spark at first now he's getting a lil' corny....dudes know I roll with Broner hard...I'm a "Can Man" fan but I also keeps it 100...that entrance last night was horrible....N bombs dropping from their mics just made me smh....he needs to tone certain things down but then again he's only 23 and maybe this is just a phase for him..who knows

dude is fixed on being ENTERTAINING....as Max tried to tell him, it's his ring WORK that ppl pay or tune in to see...not his ring WALK or TALK....he'll get it right as he matures

as far as being charismatic....Floyd is too defensive with his words....he doesn't come across as charismatic imo...I can't stand Haye...but he's the most charismatic dude in the sport imo....Froch is up there, B.Hop can turn it on as well...Broner has the "IT" factor working for him...he just needs to know when to turn it up and when to tone it down....thats all!!!

Chisora is another charismatic dude who needs to know when to tone it down a bit

[Weebler I]

The term charisma (pronounced /kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: 1) compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others, 2) a divinely conferred power or talent.

Yes, Broner and Floyd have charisma. Call it appeal pizazz, animal magnetism etc, etc...whatever, both guys have it lol.

Not according to that definition they don't.

People are really misinterpreting the meaning of charisma in this thread.

It's clear people on here don't even know what charisma is seeing as they think Floyd and Broner have it.

Look at a Martinez interview. Look how quick yet still very astute his responses are. Look at how the interviewers almost always smile because they're recognising this.

Same with Malignaggi. Same (perhaps to a slightly lesser extent) with Haye.

Their gift of the gab is naturally entertaining.

Nothing wrong with Floyd and Broner rehearsing lines. They say decent stuff and it's compelling. But when they're asked something off the cuff they ummm and errr for five minutes before saying something incoherent. That is NOT charisma.

not really hard to define...its charm...it says it in the spelling

and I feel like that's why people really hate on him. Anyone can rehearse one-liners, come out rapping, but there's one thing lacking and that's CHARISMA. It's what boxing entertainers like Floyd and prince have.

Floyd fans/haters will all come to the agreement is he is damn charismatic. IMO, Floyd is the most charismatic boxer to ever live right next to ALI. He can give a simple interview and people will listen and diagnose every word and have threads on NSB 10 pages long. THat's charisma. Broner speaks but has no personality. just one-liners, he sounds dumb as a rock, I find it hard to believe this guy will ever develop HARDCORE fans.

I try hard to separate his comments from what he does in the ring but I just can't with this dude. Even so, it's not hard to look good against these guys that are too small, too weak to do anything to you. He is a 140-147 pound fighter even though he can make the 135 pound limit.

I could probably be more accepting of that if he were humble but his is so pompous and disrespectful about everyone and everything that I can't help but point out his flaws.

Whatever, I'm not a fan of his and to those who are fans of his, enjoy his performances. I know what lies ahead for him because karma is always fulfilling, that has always been the case...."Same shit, different toilet, ya know?"

Why can't so called "Boxing Fans" just pay attention to his fight game?

I don't really think Floyd has charisma....Ali had charisma. Floyd can be funny at times, but that's it. He just has a thing for saying s**t that'll piss people off and speaking his mind, he's not really charismatic in my opinion.
