Simple question. Back up your answer with key points.

Boxing fans, alike.

'Was' is a more appropriate word, but Broner by a distance. The Ring ranked him No.5 P4P which is a fair indication of how ridiculously overhyped he was.

Nobody was suggesting that Ruslan Provodnikov was the future of boxing.

broner is the biggest hype job of this era. no debate or question.

provo is ten times the hype job broner is.

is broner special? not yet, but he may one day be. broner has legitimate potential despite the fact that so far much of it is unfulfilled. he has tremendous athletic ability in all facets. he also does have great skills in some areas, although his skills are lacking in other areas.

but most importantly he has the mind of a fighter, "i feel like im playing chess and these other guys are playing checkers". is he as smart as he thinks he is? of course not, but ta least he gets the point to this game. its the sweet science, a thinking mans game. broners ******ation is due to his immature personality, provo is just a brute.

in fact provo aint ****. what does he have? he is just another strong guy with a good punch and chin. no physical ability beyond that and sure as hell no real technical skills. dude is a journeyman who got a title thanks to favorable matchmaking. more importantly he will never be much better than he is now, that much is evident. brute force cavemen stay brute force cavemen almost every time.

I don't get this. 90% of people here hate broner and Provo isn't being hyped either lol. What Lucas and ggg have/had are hype. Not broner and provo

Ring is ran by gbp. They had ghost and canelo top 10 when they fought Floyd. Nobody had broner top 10

Broner spouts clichés that in no way reflect his style and that makes him a thinking fighter? Broner is every bit the brawler Provodnikov is. He just has faster hands and talks about being 'slick'.

In fact, your post sums up exactly what a hype-job Broner is. He has been marketed as something he is not, false advertising from head to toe. Provodnikov has been sold as what he is.

I don't recall Ruslan saying he'll be the next Mayweather.
