Is Adrien Broner the modern day James Toney?

[IronDanHamza]

Skill level not comparable. I think he was just overhyped by HBO.

Sounds like James Toney pre November 1994.

[lopetego]

hell no

Broner can only dream of having the defensive / counterpunching skills of a prime Toney

Broner is a bum in comparison

Larry, you’re my man and all but...you high tonight?

[RussB23]

lol no, broner isnt losing do to lack of disclipline. hes just a gatekeeper.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Actually yes.

Both one dimensional.

Both lack ring IQ.

Both have talent but big holes in their game.

Both have poor feet.

And they have a similar style aswell.

Toney is obviously better than Broner but yes the similarities are there.

James Toney had average movement, just like Adrien Broner!

I will go out on a limb and say yes. James Toney was very overrated but quite talented. James Toney was suppose to be a top ten p4p fighter ever bit his lack of mental toughness destroyed him. I don't think he beats Andre Ward, Monzon, Havler, Hearns, Gerald, Hopskin, Jones(even if he wasn't weight drained), Duran, Barkley, or even guys like GGG, Canelo, Charlo. He was great but not as great as people make him see. He was the Cotto of his era.

The modern day Berto.

You really can't stand the guy eh? It seems like every time his name is mentioned you're there.

Broner's lack of discipline outside the ring plays a big role in his performance in the ring
