    Broner doesn't have the mentality to win. He always fails in the big fights... He has the skills but really lacks the heart.

    I strongly disagree w/ this statement. Broner has a lot of a heart and he comes on strong late in fights. He was having a lot of success w/ Mikey and Vargas in the late rounds when he finally let his hands go.

    And how many of his important fights did he win? None... And he definitely has the skills to win them. Idk what's the problem with him then.

    It is indeed a mystery. If he fights the early and mid rounds like he does the late rounds, he'd fulfill his moniker of The Problem.

    He's not a quitter but he's not willing to put the work in either. He clearly doesn't have enough heart to even attempt training properly.

    He has way too much problems outside the ring...

    His dedication in the gym to heart in the ring is similar to Toney.

    His personal life is utterly ridiculous.

    Why do you think this? Broners style is perfect for PAC. He has no movement and no work rate. Don't care if it's a 50 year old manny...you can't just stand in front of him not throwing and expect to survive, let alone win. Marquez had lateral movement and a work rate. Occasional Counterpunching alone will not be enough. Not to mention that broner isn't half the counter puncher that Floyd or Marquez were anyway. Broner has concrete in his shoes and throws a fraction of what PAC throws. He amounts to a punching bag.

    I got pac man, Broner is low output and Manny is high output that is a straight forward style match which should lead to manny winning. Manny UD and I think Manny is washed up which tells you what I think about Broner.

    Toney was supremely skilled, he may not have been dedicated to the dieting but he was dedicated to sparring and sparring the best.

    No roadwork and struggled with guys who had no business sharing a ring with him.

    Don't get me wrong - i'm a Toney fan which is why his career frustrates me so.

    From what I remember from Toney he said that he thought sparring was really the only way to get ready for a fight. According to Steward the only person who could hang with Mccelland in sparring was Toney, that’s if my memory serves me right.

    I don’t think your hating or anything I can see why you made the comparison, I just think Toney showed way more talent and performed for way longer than Broner. I honestly think Broner is so over-rated he has never clearly beaten one B level guy. When he got to b level he struggled and got a fortunate decision or lost convincingly.

    Broner is basically zab judah with less speed and less ring IQ
