Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

Throughout Mayweather's career he has been an overwhelming favourite heading into the fights, maybe with the exception of the Corrales fight.

While the road looks tougher for Broner there are alot of fights ahead of him that will be seen as 50-50, possibly against Gamboa, Marquez, Rios, Garcia

My point is, it will be difficult for Broner to become a PPV megastar with a padded record he will really need to prove himself in challenging situations.

I'm a fan of Mayweather but his opposition picking has always been smart in the sense he and the public always knew/felt he would win. With Broner it won't be as easy to get away with fighting guys that are tailor made for him especially if he want's to become the next big thing in boxing.

Broner 1st fight at 135 is Demarco

Floyds 1st fight at 135 was Castillo

doesn't seem tougher so far, but always a possibility

Re: Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

Technically not his first fight above 130. :lol:

Re: Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

Not at 135, but at 140, GBP has some very nice talent to match him with. Floyd's 140 lb resume is piss poor...but his comp at 130-135 was excellent. While Broner's comp at 130 and 135 are piss poor.(He gets much props for stepping up against DeMarco) His potential 140lb resume is world's better. Quite interesting actually.

Re: Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

Yeah! As stacked as 140 is, I think we will get to see if Broner is the real deal, or if he is being "well managed", sooner rather than later.

Were he to actually be fighting everyone at these weights, perhaps you could have a case but he didn't and hasn't and may not. Mayweather's resume at 130 makes a mockery out of Broner's. Broner's first fight scheduled at 135 won't be but a very, very poor comparison to May's first there. He doesn't really have to take anyone better than May took or as good as. We'll see what he actually gets. He may never have a Gamboa or a Marquez. An old Marquez it would be, also. Just think, Broner grabbed a title and coasted through 130 by comparison, and had weight problems there. Mayweather reigned supreme for several defences and had to dethrone the actual champion there, in addition to Corrales, Chavez, etc. Broner...eh.

Shit post from a retarded alt.

Re: Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

Gamboa is still at 126. Do not see that happening, although that right there may very well be the scalp he could get in terms of the most skilled opponent. Marquez will be pushing 40 so wouldn't be a good win but nice name on resume. Garcia and rios are prolly going to be Broner's corrales and castillo.

Re: Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

Broner is not near the caliber of Mayweather. He is good and should beat Demarco, but he is not a Floyd Mayweather caliber fighter.

Re: Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

if he is smart, he would do the same thing floyd did and avoid risky fights

Re: Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

Garcia and Rios are very good scalps. Garcia is comparable to Corrales but Rios still needs more big wins to be consider as high as Castillo though.

Re: Does Broner have a tougher climb ahead in opposition than Mayweather
 

Tougher for Broner perhaps, but Chico and Castillo are better than Gamboa, Rios, and Garcia. No comparison.
