    What's your take on him? Personally, I love seeing him in the ring, not so much outside of it though. His antics lack the authenticity of Mayweather's or Hopkins' who are genuine Gs.

    Irritating isn't a synonym for entertaining. I don't buy products if I find the advertising annoying, so I don't buy Broner.

    That's the thing, he's trying to be that kind of character but he's just annoying and **** at it.

    I voted yes. So he's a corny as hell, but he makes people smile, exciting to watch and he's extremely talented. In my opinion he's great for boxing, we could use more people with personalities in boxing. He may even pique the interest of people who don't like boxing and turn them into boxing fans.

    One of my favorite qualities about him is, he's a finisher. He says he doesn't go for the ko, but I think that just means he's not just throwing one punch to end the fight. His weight makes very interesting matchup possibilities too. I'd love to see him fight Rios, I think that would be fight of the year if it happend right now. Anyway, Broner may not be a hard ass G as some of you seem to think is cool, but he's got my approval and can't wait to see him fight again!

    The in ring dancing and showboating I find entertaining.

    The comb and the other stuff is a bit cheesy.

    Entertaining in the ring. Not so much outside the ring but who gives a shot. I don't care for wwe .

    I love his in ring performances. Defensive without being passive.

    His whole public selling persona? It is quite pedestrian and transparent. Not to mention not original and others have done it better (Naz, Camacho, etc.).

    I couldnt care less what anyone does outside of the ring. Its none of my business. Hes nice in the ring, the only thing is that "FFUUUAATT" sound after he punches

    A bit of both. During his interviews, I find him engaging, personable, and a bit humble. But, when the lights come on, he definitely tries way too hard.

    We get it, the Mayweather model of generating haters works. It works for him, it worked for Ali, it worked for Johnson, and many others. But don't be so obvious. It looks forced.
