The PDL fight was what 2 yrs ago. So he had a couple bad outings, are you gonna hold that against him his entire carreer. Dudes 23 with 5 kids who knows what was in his head leading up to the fight.

Is he still a hypejob in your eyes?
Or have you changed your mind?
He may well never be as good as Mayweather, i doubt many ever will but Broner is a special talent.
You haters better recognise.
Canelo will be next to shut you haters up.

I never really thought he was a hypejob. What I wasn't sure about is how serious he was about his craft. He jokes & clowns around so much it threw me off, but he made it clear that when the bell rings it's time to go to work. I also believe he has learned & improved since the Ponce fight.

I'm beginning to think perhaps I'm setting too high a standard for the kid. The fact that his style appears to be a blatant rip-off is a turnoff. But perhaps, subconsciously, I'm constantly comparing him to Floyd because of it. The truth is, Broner is a pretty good young champ with plenty of room for improvement. However, I'm not convinced he's the next big thing. I still see flaws that his opponents have been too weak or unskilled to take advantage of. And I doubt anyone will until he hits 140. Maybe he improves some more by then but I don't see him being dominant at that weight.

My worry is, he's been tested by weaker opposition than I'd like.
Everyone hits a stumbling block or two at the start of their career, when they are still learning. Some against lesser fighter than others. Broner has hit those already with Quintero and Ponce DeLeon.
But, it seems like he's improving. I think the Broner in the ring last night is certainly better than the Broner who struggled with Ponce DeLeon.
I see Broner as someone with a whole lot of potential and he's in the shadow of an ATG, whether he likes it or not, the standards are going to be set to the very highest for him.
He's doing almost everything right so far though. I just want see how he deals with a real, top top fighter.
If say, he cleans out 135, which I think is inevitable, then moves up to 140 and dominates Matthysee for example, then I'll know all I need to.
