    Broner or Wilder

    Broner was supposed to be the next Floyd and a lot of people bought it

    Wilder, it took a while for them to build his hype but it reached fever pitch prior to Fury one and people were really getting into it, then it quickly came crashing down.

      He can fight but fights no one worth a mention. He's been calling out lomachenko for like 3 years and still won't fight him. Has problems making weight at both 130-135. Completely undisciplined.

      In his first fight at 135 he struggled to make weight and struggled against a guy who is past it, way past his best weight, and on one leg.

      The exact definition of hype.

        Broner easily, but he was exposed a while ago.

        No one comes close. People knew Wilder's flaws before hand, everyone just fell in love with his power, but no one said he was going to be fighter of the decade or future p4p king.

        There really no really American hype jobs at the moment.

            What makes an American fighter exempt from being a hype job?

            What does this even mean? I really don't know what you are saying here, or what it has to do with my post.

            People are mentioning fighters that don't fit the criteria of the thread topic. That was the gist of my post.

I expected him to bring even more racial harmony but that went the other way. I don't know how Americans can be called systemically racist when we elected him TWICE.
              He led a white priveledged life with his white grand parents and went to expensive high school for a certain element of society.
              He was not raised in the hood nor was he around the life of drugs prostitution or black on black murder or violence against blacks.
              The Great John Lewis overcame it all not Barack *****.
              Barack has done nothing for the Black Community in Chicago nor does he bring up the subject.
              Black Rights Activist Leo Terrell acknowledges this.
              Larry Elder has also made an Amazing documentary called Uncle Tom that puts up all the facts right in our faces.
              Barack ***** is a good guy but he is NOT a John Lewis, or Martin Luther King. He's a White Privledged politician just like the rest of them. A Hype Job.
              To be fair isn't that the background of most US presidents in the modern era.

                    That's correct! I look forward to the day when Senator Tim Scott is President. He's the real thing and I know he'll be what our country needs. I respect him the most of any politician.
