Comments Thread For: J. Mayweather: Broner Rode The Coattail, Got Exposed

Ok. Enough is enough. Broner was overhyped and all but Floyd's pops and uncles are the last one's that need to be talking about riding coat tails.

Broner accomplished more as a professional fighter than Sr. and Jeff combined. Roger can talk because he had a great boxing career himself.

Sr was actually a good fighter, fought SugarRayLeonard...good enough to fight the best back then

I blame HBO... for protecting "talented" fighters.. over paying them for scrub fights.. so when they're put in front of higher caliber fighters.. they're simply not ready, or exposed..

He is with Haymon and at the time he was fighting on HBO don't blame HBO blame Haymon

Bronner will be spectacular just like Larry said... a spectacular gate keeper.
an elfen, big headed, no necked spectacle...A bridge troll guarding the division while assuring people he is gangster, that a loss is no thang, as he is pounded into submission by up and commers.

bronner cannot fight below his weight, and his power does not carry, he is not quick enough, smart enough or motivated enough to use his talents and he was exposed. He will follow a similar trajectory as Judah, but Zab accomplished more. Zab beats that azz now.

Broner sold himself as a superstar but the fact is he is just a decent fighter. He is not going to change his style. He'll be economical with his punches and inactivity will always be his downfall.

And the reason he'll never change that is because he has a subconscious fear of getting hit flush. It's like he is so concentrated on avoiding that one shot, that it affects his fluidity. You can see how awkwardly he reacts when those shots sneak in. He tries too hard to live up to that Mayweather type defense, and it shadows the rest of his arsenal. He needs to fight with more confidence and embrace the rest of his capabilities as a fighter.

Wow, first intelligible thing I ever saw u type. Great moment of clarity for u. Congratulations bro. I knew u weren't the ****** they say u are.
