Is Adrien Broner the modern day James Toney?

[Mukuro]

Well again that's fair enough I don't disagree with that.

Just stating your critique applies for both fighters.

Sure and fair point. I don't find it hard to criticize Toney either, I just don't think Broner is at his level.

RIP Joe Rein. A legend.

Indeed. Amen Indeed.

.........no man. Broner is unmotivated, out of shape Toney on his worst day.

At his best, Toney could beat anyone. Broner's not even in the same league.

Its ironick: People question Larry for this thread and look... People came here to fight and prove how ridiculous this comparison was and what happened!!?? Oh s hit! call the mods!!! we got a discussion about boxing and the finer points of James Toney's career breaking out!! maybe Larry had something up his sleeve after all

Lets talk Broner for a bit shall we?

. Big problem that may be relevant: One thing that got Broner in a lot of trouble is that he could not fight up. Broner, Like Toney actually has a decent beard and can take the shot, and, it can be argued that his power carried up to a degree, but it was not enough to allow him to carry up and get through the guys who could fight like Porter and Madianna. Toney could fight up, Broner could not. A beard and a punch is not enough... Not in the big leagues.

Good skill set, but lacks discipline and never truly made it to the elite level due to their lack of discipline?/ Losses all their big fights but are due to beat atleast a few top guys after awhile?

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat I'm no fan of Toney but Broner my friend is NO Toney

[john l]

I think Broner's more like Judah 2.0.

I think you got that backwords.Broner no where near what Judah did imo.

[djtmal]

Well yeah I commend Toney for taking on all comers.

It's not "dissing" it is objectively looking at his career. Don't like it? Refute it or don't respond.

the point is, its a diss to even try to say toney and broner fight anything alike, the even bigger point is, toney with his skillset has risen far higher and beaten far better guys than broner...

I think James Toney is one of the most overrated fighters about, constantly gets pushed into a category which places him above legitimate champions.
Even with me thinking that there is no way do I think him and Broner are similar in terms of skillset, Toney is clearly more talented, the only relatable thing is both of them are thug idiots who lack the discipline to their boxing career.

You're obviously just an impressionable kid who believes what they're told instead of actually looking for things by itself.
I doubt you've watched much of James.
