Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr: Adrien Broner Faced Maidana Too Soon

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Should've never skipped 140 and let his body grow accordingly. Maidana showed him the difference between fighting boys and grown men. Abregu vs Dulorme is another example that comes to mind. Experience is not something you can teach.

Would broner have been able to defeat Miguel Vasquez @ 135? thas a question that should be asked me personally i think he would get outboxed 10 rounds to 2 the 72" inch reach 5'10" height would trouble him

I was gonna same something similar to you. I think most posters missed the entire point of what Roy was saying. Roy said you don't go from fighting a light hitting Paulie to the hardest puncher in the division when Broner just moved up himself. His body wasn't acclimated to the weight & he's only 23/24 years old. It's not like when Sugar Shane moved up when he was 27, mature & had outgrown the LW division. Leap frogging divisions like that is no joke. Broner tried to take a calculated risk & failed.

Broner is a very over rated fighter, level B fighter and he is a jerk too, so Chino will KO him. What is he going to do different this time around ? dry humping Chino did not work it only got his ass beat, roll around on the floor feigning injury did not work. Broner sucks both literally and figuratively.

vargas, did more, but talked less.

Vargas was a three division champ by age of 23? Sorry, missed what lifetime that happened in. And Vargas wasn't a choir boy either. Understand broner is the way he is to get people to watch him. Whether you hate or love him you still tune in everytime he fights. He made over 2mils in each of his last two fights. They aren't many fighters getting that type of money so obviously his talking and way carry himself is making him a lot of money. I'm pretty sure that's all he cares about

Roy Knows About Gaps... Just Ask Antonio Tarver, Glenn Johnson, Danny Green

And a rematch for Boner is too soon too.... some poor managing going on right there. Boner needs to go do battle with a Rios or Alvarado or Alexander... stay away from the Maidana's, Matthysee's, Pacquiao's, Provodnikov's, Thurman's, Porter's... guys that can beat you down.

EXACTLY! And Cuevas, unlike Broner, was a huge underdog and was seen as an easy defense for the veteran champ, and Benitez was considered too young when he fought Cervantes as well and they fought two guys that were WAAAYYY better than Broner's first two titles and the first title should be thrown in the trash because that guy he fought was a ***ing joke. Broner has had it soft but most of the world thought he would KO Maidana. Too much too soon is not the case. It comes down to how good Broner really is and how physically and mentally prepared he is and that's on him. Too much too soon does fit how many Ho's he has had and how much he wanted to live like a top sports superstar. No foundation for a humbling though, nowhere to land when the bulb got popped. Lifestyle not properly derived from where he really was....it was a hollow pretense of stardom. It was not about putting the carriage before the horse....the carriage was way too big. Earth to Broner, come in?

So what you're saying is that broner is overrated and everyone you've mentioned are better? You guys hate the way he carry himself and all the shït he talks so you guys give him a hard time, but reality is that broner has a great talent and IF he takes boxing seriously and stops all the other shenanigans he will go down as one of the greatest ever. Besides, he's in the entertainment business not in the pleasing everyone. As long as he entertains me, I could care less the way he lives his life. And BTW, none of the guys you mentioned were 3 div champs by the age of 23, so you could talk about how humble or underdogs they were, this is boxing and we only care about how good you fight. Everything else is pointless

Maidana ko again!

I give broner more respect than scary a$$ mayweather! At least broner finally stepped up to a good opponent! Mayweather is one of the best but we will always also say he was scared of manny paquiao! Broner did good in not listening to May and taking the rematch again! He actually cares for the fans unlike May just taking everyone's ppv money to see him run around the ring lol

[Canelo Phresh]

When you hear other boxers talk about other boxers...depending on who the most liked guy or most hated guy is...they are right. Roy says something about a guy that you don't like, and the pro Roy doesn't know wtf he's talking lmao.

Broner asked for Maidana and he got him. Calculated or not. Broner could've faced Maidana too soon, but that is the price of greatness. Either you start on the road to greatness, or you take an ass whipping. Broner took an ass whipping. He isn't the first or last fighter to underestimate a guy.

Thought you skipped town Ducketts.
