    He'll beat the **** outta that stay at home hiding in Japan glass jawed Uchiyama. That guy has to be one of the most overrated guys in the sport right now. Broner embarrasses that guy, he's light years more talented. You don't like Broner for many of the same reasons why you don't like PBF. Because he has swag talks **** and is flashy and you just don't like it and don't understand it so you fear it and hate it. Broner a G:deal
    He's here to stay so get used to it lame. If he ever gets that bum Uchiyama in the ring he'll school his no-hoper fighting ass, deal with it.:hi:
     
  3. I see a little bit of substance there behind the flash. The Ponce De Leon fight... I mean, Broner was 21 years old and Ponce De Leon was an experienced, mean ******* who could take Broner out with one thudding shot. So Broner fought him really carefully and barely got the win.

    Reminds me of Mayweather vs. Castillo a little bit :yikes

    Castillo is a million times the fighter Ponce could ever be, and Floyd was moving up for Castillo, Ponce was the one moving up for Broner.

    ****ing Juanma took ponce out in 4 minutes when he was only 21 or 22

    In fairness Ponce sucks against fellow southpaws. But Broner still gets smashed when he fights a good fighter his own size. Too much 'what would Floyd do' going through that guy's mind when he fights. He doesn't have the talent that Mayweather has, nor the international amateur experience.

    What's your point? It took Presscott 1 minute to dust off Khan, McClosky actually lost to Khan. What happened when they fought eachother? The JuamMa/De Leon fight says to me that JuanMa was a bigger puncher at 126 than a 21 year old Broner was at 130.

    I stand corrected. JuanMa was a bigger puncher at 122 than Broner is at 130.

    You just figure Broner would have been able to dispatch the guy in similar fashion. Ponce looked like a little boy in there with Broner

    So again, that indicates that Lopez is a bigger puncher. Also, someone else mentioned that De Leon performs worse against other lefties.

    The Penalosa bout? I thought Ponce won that pretty clearly.
