    is adrien broner the next andre berto

    at one time we thought berto was a champion until he lost three times by Mexican fighters like victor quitter Ortiz and Robert the lame ghost and that other fighter karass when berto wasn't on peds he wasn't as strong or as fast as when he fought carlos quitana Adrien too me reminds me of a andre berto who never took his time slowly going up in weight classes and instead chose to get money right away seems like a big mistake in his career Adrien probably will disappear in two years from boxing

    Nah he's more talented than Berto. Broner is no Floyd but his accomplishments at a young age are still impressive.

      I don't know, Berto beat a prime Collazo. I'm not sure Broner's beaten anyone that good.

        I think this has been obvious for some time.

          No and here's why, he's much more talented than Berto could ever dream of being. If there was a better comparison, I'd say he's the next Zab Judah. His biggest problem is he's too classless for his own good and he isn't as determined as he should be. Not to mention, he hangs around Floyd a lot and adopts all of his bad qualities and none of his good.

            Nice sentence. I don't get the point of bringing up the nationality of the fighters he lost to, but oh well.

            On topic, I think he sucks just as much.

              Seems that way. But slightly different. Berto had some real talent, heck of an amateur career but his pro career IMO was ruined by his promoter feeding him soft touches for too long. He grew comfortable making millions by fighting less than stellar competition so that by the time he stepped up he was no longer hungry.


              Broner who also had a good amateur career and is vastly talented seems to be the one ruining his own career. Partying like a rockstar, instead of a boxer.

                I guess not but that was an unimpressive performance and i think Broner's jump up the weight classes is overlooked....

                Sure Mallignaggi was the weakest beltholder but i can't imagine Berto jumping up to middleweight and beating the weakest beltholder there.

                  Broner is big. Probably just as big as Berto. Most of his "best" wins were just him beating on much smaller fighters instead of moving up. At least Berto held his own and won against a good fighter his own size.
