    I have no problem with it...Ray Leonard did it as well, he basically copied Ali even did the Ali Shuffle many of times during his fights. Also raised both hands in the air after knock down his opponent like Ali.

    This is the ERA he grew up watching that is the fighter he took a liking to and that is the fighter he pattern himself from.

    People who have a problem with it are mostly the people who "HATE MAYWEATHER", Broner will grow into his own. In the ring I don't think he fights anything like Mayweather other then the Philly Shell Guard. Broner uses a much more POWERFUL style then Mayweather. Mayweather is much more stylish and lighter on his feet. Where as Broner plants his feet to get off with his Power and Broner is not afraid to get hit at all.

    I do think he needs to bring it down a bit outside of the ring, he acts like a ***in incoherent clown sometimes "YA KNOW!" and can somebody please tell him to stop ***in chewing gum doing a interview that **** is ***in annoying but Borner is looking to be a Villain, he is not looking to be liked I don't think. What ever he is doing now he probably should keep doing it because he is good at getting people's attention, most think this fight is going to be a Wash but the Pre Fight stuff been interesting and has people attention and people will be watching tonight

      It's probably just who he is? I think in people's eagerness to hate flight they give him too much credit, he didn't create the blueprint on how to behave loud and obnoxious. I've actually encountered many people like Broner who would brhave exactly the same if given the amount of money he has.

      They are slso somewhat different in their persona. It is a bit difficult to explain but Broner looks as though he was made for the lifestyle. Whereas Floyd looks uncomfortable. Things like eating a strippers box on camera Floyd wouldn't do. Floyd is deep down more serious about his career too.

        couldn't agree more. Floyd's act is just a persona to sell PPVs, nothing more. people are gullible enough to think that's the real him. inside, he lives a quiet, humble lifestyle, is a serious guy, doesn't drink, etc. Broner on the other hand isn't acting, that's just who he is. so if anything, Floyd's the one trying to imitate a lifestyle that's not really him

          I don't really follow basketball. How does Kobe imitate Jordan?

            Not during interviews though. Broner can't even talk without trying to sound just like Floyd. He stutters l Iike him tries talking just like him but he's cornier than floyd

              I think it's funny and people need to realize he's just ****ing around most of the time. I also don't think he is as similar to Mayweather as people like to make out. If you have ever seen him in a serious interview he is nothing like him, and pretty well spoken.

              Take this video for example. This is his classic persona on camera, and if you have half a brain can realize there is nothing serious about it.
