Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Hope One Day to Hand The Torch to Broner

[athletic]

Mayweather said the same **** about passing the torch to Devon Alexander a few yrs ago & he ended up as nothing special and hyped up after all.

[-PBP-]

Floyd just jinxed him. He done passed the torch to Berto and Alexander before.

I have to say he's got it wrong here. Greatness isn't about mimicking someone else. It's about reaching your potential and overcoming tough challenges in the process. Broner can still become great without adopting Floyd's defense-priority style.

To late Floyd, Pac already passed the torch to Ward and Donaire

Pac didn't pass the torch because he never had it......He got his a$$ ko'd by a guy who Mayweather beat easily. The torch is in the hands of the man who is 43-0.....not the guy who has been ko'd 3 times in his career.

Facts are facts.

The torch was never passed because Floyd is still fighting.

Great words Floyd. Broner is the future, and there will come a time when he will have to walk through bullets to get where you've got. He has the skills, but does he have the intestinal fortitude. Only time will tell.

So Ali didn't mimic Sugar Ray Robinson?

So Leonard didn't use sugar ray robinson name and also used the ali shuffle and bolo punch?

So Roy jones didn't use the same bolo punch and Ali style with the left hand down to his waist?

So Kobe Bryant didn't use all of MJ's moves?

I can go on and on.

I still don't believe in Broner to the extent that some of his backers do. Maybe fighting in a relatively weak era will be kind to him

Agreed...

Broner has the tools he needs to be great in his own right but he isn't Floyd (not saying he can't be better than him)...

They have similarities but they have clear differences as well...I don't think Broner's footwork is nowhere near as good as Floyd's...and Floyd's inside game is superior...

Broner fights like Floyd has recently but nothing like Floyd did back in his 130-135 days...

I think Broner is a very good fighter and I'm a fan but I'm still waiting for him to beat someone who I felt has a GOOD chance at beating him...I never thought DeMarco would...my mind might change if he beats Rios or Marquez

Broner has to test himself. He should fight burns/vasquez winner, then move to 140 where rios,khan,garcia,judah,matthysse, and peterson are.
