    its funny..

    before the maidana fight when so many people were singing his praises i thought he was overrated. afterwards when everyone started claiming he was all hype, i actually started to believe in the kid.

    not the whole "he is the next floyd" thing or anything like that, but i think he can have a very successful career. in that fight he showed me the remainder of the tools needed to be a great fighter having already showed the physical talent.

    he has some technical flaws and some maturity issues, but its nothing time cant fix and thats one thing broner doesnt lack. i expect him to prove a lot of people wrong, shame they wont be men enough to give him props when it happens.

      What he should do is stop copying Floyd. There's a reason why few fighters effectively execute the shoulder roll.

          It's all an act with Broner.

          You won't see broner overriding the commision's decision to approve mx everlast gloves .

          He is different to mayweather.

          His can man gimmick is entertaining. If all fighters were like bermaine stiverne outside the ring boxing would be less fun to follow

            I'll be honest. After the Demarco fight, posters here had me worried that ****** dweeb Broner was going to be the new big attraction in boxing. Last thing we need is a guy more obnoxious than Floyd being the fountainhead of the sport. Thank God for Maidana's not-give-a-fuck approach in the ring

                  I thought he was a good fighter, and he still is a good fighter (not a great one), but I also thought that a big part of his success had to do with him fighting smaller opponents.

                  We saw what happened when he started fighting opponents 'his size'. He didn't look as dominant.
