    his composure is as impressive as his skill IMO..he's a calculating boxer that knows exactly what he wants/needs to do


    even in his interviews, you can see that we have a very cerebral boxer on our hands...he's on my short list of must-watch fighters

      in 2012 juanma and salido were considered the top 2 feathers, and in 2013 mikey handled them like a boss should,,
      And broner going from 135-147 is nothing when your fighting a washed up aging fighter with zero power, who just got beatdown by a journeymen and got a gift decision,,, pauli and burns are the 2 worst champs in the sport,, going up in weight vs pauli is not the same as going up to welter and tangling with say bradley, ghost, ortiz, alexander, maidana, etc



      Very true,,, Garcia has skills and poise, and great ring generalship,,, broner has skills, but not alot of poise and ring generalship,,,
      No he didn't go up and beat a top tier opponent, but he did go up and beat a 2nd/3rd tier ww from 135. that counts in my book, no matter if he failed to win in the way many, including me, expected.

      I think Mikey is further ahead then Broner is for sure.

        lol, i dunno if u 2 would get along in reasl life tho, his favorite boxer by far is floyd mayweather, which is understandable. hes probably one of the few who can understand what hes doing in the ring when he does it.

          it's funny how only around a year ago people thought a bout vs Gamboa would be a mismatch in Yuri's favor...for me, i think it would be the other way around


          Mikey IS good enough to brutally expose Gamboa's flaws

            Both highly skilled fighters that look like the future super stars of the sport.

            Broner has won more titles and Mikey don't have that big win. He was dominating Salido but that fight got stopped too early.

            Also Mikey has been down and looks like he doesn't block right hands too well. Right now Broner has a smaller edge above him and if he beats Maidana in a convincingly fashion then he goes above.

            Broner's persona will turn ppl away from him but it sells

              dont know if i completely agree with this, Toby...Mikey has kept his dominance as he moved up while Broner has looked less than spectacular at times

                Mikey is a true professional whose focus is on boxing. Broner is trying to enhance his brand outside of the sport through rapping. Mikey is more like KObe while Broner is more like SHaq.

                Thats why everytime you see Mikey fight he looks better or shows a new wrinkle and then interviews the way he does.

                Its also why Broner doesn't appear to have improved and he always has some ****** new gimmick in the post fight interview.

                  broner is a true clown. but honestly, i think he knows it. he just doesnt care. my concern for him is like u said, the extracurricular activities. is he strong enough to stay committed to the boxing game, i have my doubts.

                    Broner should not be in anybody's Top 10 P4P that is just ******! Can/Will he be a Top 10 P4P Fighter On Day? ABSOLUTELY but he is not their yet and and win over Maidana don't put him up their IMO Either!

                    Beat JMM, Bradley, Mayweather or Pacquiao and maybe he cracks Top 10

                    And this is not the typical "I HATE BRONER SO I AM POSTING THIS TO BE NEGATIVE" like a lot of the Trolling idiots on this Forum, I am coming from A BOXING FAN POINT OF VIEW!

                    Yes Mikey should be Top 10 before Broner because Mikey has went out and looked more and more impressive as he steps up competition, sure he has his Flaws hell every fighter does but his Positives overshadows his Negatives and that is all you can ask for! Mikey is probably the most impressive young fighter to be honest with the potential to be a excellent ALL AROUND BOXER!

                      eye test alone,, mikey looks like a much better fighter than broner,,,

                      mikey is a legit p4p guy right now,,,

                      broner needs to beatdown maidana, and he will be in the running,,, outside of the demarco fight, broner has never looked very good in any of his big fights,,,
                      Thats not to say broner wont be there one day,, just at the moment he isnt p4p
