Will Broner ever drop the weak Floyd impersonation?

Truth hurts dont it? Broner vs a no name like Rees does 1.4 mil on HBO. Watch when Broner and Paulie take down Canelos 1.1.

Your misplace hate is just illogical. 1.4 mil on HBO. Showtime is not HBO. Have you seen Floyd's 24/7 numbers compared to his All Access episodes?

the question is why should he? in boxing terms he is one of the biggest names and man this guy is 23 and got nearly more haters than a Floyd at age 36...if he keep this route he is gonna be maybe even bigger than Floyd. And then make way for Adrien "Money" Broner

Broner's defence is terrible he can't pull it off like Mayweather can, he gets hit clean constantly.

Yeah but that can easily work against him. By the time floyd started being hated for the money mayweather persona he already proved himself a legit fighter. Broners gonna have to smash someone "legit" and soon.

Short and long term success are different things. If Broner loses a fight or two his Mayweather impersonation will start to look pathetic. And with his style, he is going to take shots and he is going to lose fights.

Broner is going to produce more exciting fights than Mayweather once he starts fighting guys his own size because he's going to stand in the pocket with guys and trade. But he's a lot more likely to get beaten than Mayweather as a result.

The danger is, when he doesn't enjoy the same sort of dominance as Mayweather he's going to start looking like a bit of a joke. He's putting himself in a position of direct comparison with one of the most dominant fighters of his generation. Do you really think he's going to compare well?

That's why he needs to be his own man. It's all well and good to be acting like you're Floyd when you're dominating the likes of Gavin Rees, but when you face the top fighters and you start getting hit in the face a lot suddenly you're not going to look very much like Floyd at all. Selling yourself on the basis that you're something you're not is never a good idea in the long run. Someday the market's going to crash. Just ask Amir King Khan.
