Comments Thread For: Roach: Adrien Broner is a Nice Guy, He's No Bull****

agree with Roach

Watched interviews and post fights of Adrien when he was an unknown and he comes across as a nice chill respectful dude.

I think most of his act was just just that an act. That's part of his personality that rubbed the wrong way was that it was inauthentic. Don't get me wrong I love rude , crude boxerS that are genuine peices of sh.it

But the more he played the role I think he started to believe the act & hype, which is understandable for a young guy with fame and riches. He seemed to tone it down a bit, we'll see how it turns out for him I think that Porter loss might have been a wake up call.

I believe that he's truly a nice guy who chose these antics to stay in the media. He's a young flashy guy who with 2 loses, still has accomplished more than most Hall of Fame boxers. 4 titles in 4 different weight classes before the age of 25.

Now when it was Ali talking trash, being rude and obnoxious, calling his opponents ugly and gorillas, that is fine with everyone on this board, but not when Broner does the 2K version of trash talking. Oh and Ali lost before and got a gift win before. His trash talking brought him more media attention. Interrupting another fighters training camp, brought him more press.

Tyson also talked trash, telling a fighter during the press conference that when they get in the ring, he was going to make him his girlfriend. Now I'm not going to speculate what Ali and Tyson did outside the ring, but remember, there was no social media and there was no camera phones. So, who knows, maybe Ali spent plenty of time in the strip clubs during the 60's. We do know that Tyson has admitted to drug addiction and he went to prison for allegedly raping a women, but whenever Tyson makes an appearance, there are nothing but cheers.

I'm not a big Broner fan and knew he would lose soon enough, especially moving up weight classes too early, but he's young enough to make a legacy for himself. There are several fighters with 5, 6, 7 loses and are still considered great. He has 2 loses and has a long career ahead of him. I would bet against him becoming great, but anything can happen.
