Will Broner ever drop the weak Floyd impersonation?

[-Huey-]

So far he's failed miserably every time he tries to impersonate Floyd.

First, he posts pictures on the Internet of him eating twinkies and other junk because Floyd posts pictures of him eating Big Macs and other fast food, then fails to make weight for his fight against Escobedo.

Then he flushes a couple $20 bills down the toilet, trying to do something similar like when Floyd burned a $100 at the club.

Then he does his weak pre-fight trash talk, something Floyd's good at, but ends up getting punked by his opponents, lol.

The kid gots skills but someone needs to tell him to drop the Floyd impersonating, he's definitely not as good as Floyd in any department!

Baby Floyd will never stop trying to be like Floyd. That's why he calls him big brother, little brothers are always trying to be like their big brothers.

the more you talk about him the more popular he gets, good job

[Anderson Silva]

Get off his **** and stop comparing everyone to Floyd, what next you going to complain about his dress style? Jesus Christ.

The way he uses "I mean...", "I mean it's like this", Just like Floyd and the same tone, is one of the most annoying parts of his interviews. He not only copied Floyd's boxing style and does a bad job in the defensive part of it, but he also tries to sound like Floyd too.

I don't mind Broner's version of Floyd's style. He's a more offensive version of Floyd, but with that territory of being more offensive he also gets hit a lot more and a lot easier. Like Rees was actually schooling him in the first 3 rounds of their fight. That is not good at all. When he faces a bigger guy with the hand speed of Rees, and more power, he's going to look pretty bad. I think Malignaggi is going to have a better fight than people think. This fight is not a cherry pick at all. People need to stop thinking of Malignaggi vs Cano, Cano is bigger and his a different style than Broner. And you can't even get Malignaggi's losses against Cotto, Hatton, or Khan either, all of those guys are bigger and stronger than Broner.

Well his style is somewhat (I said somewhat) similar to a young Floyd in that they're fast, flashy boxers with a decent dig*

And from a marketing point of view "Money" has been immensely successful* so maybe Broner is a step ahead of us all in that he's just paving the way for a PPV career.

And he is a generation behind Floyd. When he was 10 or 11 Floyd was beating Diego Corrales so he's fairly inclined to hero worship the man.

He's still a man child so as he matures he'll grow into himself (we hope) & develop his own persona.

* in regards to Floyd/success & a decent dig I think Mayweather has an excellent punch (or timing) & could have had a 40(36ish)-3 record & a much bigger fan base if he had a different fighting mentality. This is not a criticism. He's a brilliant fighter & a genius businessman but I'm more of a fan of Leonard, Benn, Hearns, Gatti, Ward & even Corrales DESPITE their losses.

They just represent something to me that Floyd doesn't although I can see how the younger generation prefers Mayweather. I'm just an old bastard

[Capaedia]

Whether it's intentional or not, he fights more like Toney than Floyd.

Definitely a lot of personality copying going on though. I find it pathetic but it's going to make him rich by trying to promote himself as the next Mayweather, possibly richer than his skill level should allow him to be? He's definitely no Mayweather

[Jloro]

He is slowly becoming his own man. I hope he doesn't do the whole money worshipping thing. I don't ike that lol

[Derranged]

Only if Floyd loses.

I have seen plenty of fighters who are fans of other fighters but broner is downright embarrassing. Hes like a symbiote.
