    He's in the top 10 P4P and seen countless posts where people claim he would walk through the likes of Rios, Matthysse, Garcia, Khan, Maidana etc.

    People need to calm down, he's good sure, but elite and some sort of invincible monster? people must be watching a completely different fighter to me.

    Actually every one of the fighters you listed is, or at one point was, overrated. Broner has a lot of company.

    If fighters get attention, they're overrated and did nothing! If they don't get attention, boxing is dying or will die any second of the day now!

    **** off already and enjoy what you have for a change. I'm glad he's being overrated, it brings more excitement and attention to his fights. That's something all fighters need and deserve.

    :lol:

    If he could walk through these guys then why did he ***** out and skip 140 all together to fight a guy who is known to be feather fisted?

    Danny Garcia would push Broner to his limit and Lucas Mathysse would walk him down and stop him in the mid to late rounds, the guy is far too easy to hit and is a Mayweather wanna be like James Degale

    Paullie gonna tap that ass :hey

    Broner is not even 20% of PBF.

    He's wildly overrated. The ratio of hype-to-achievements is completely out of synch.

    He's in the top 10 p4p of one publication and I haven't seen many people say that he would walk through any of the guys the OP mentioned.

    He is a solid fighter. He seems to have the tools. The wins over the credible opponents are what is missing. Paulie is a great start.

    He would spank Rios. I would favor him over Garcia, but Garcia may have the physicality to win. Matthysse is a tough call as I can see him out Boxing him or Matthysse taking one to land a BIG one.

    Broner is a wait and see. Seems to have all the tools necessary to have a great career if he stays disciplined physically and mentally.

    Maybe over-rated by some, but I think most are just impressed with his ability and think he has a shot at being a big star. We will see if he can continue to rack up victories and cash, without getting silk pajama syndrome.

    Think Broner has everything to be a super star; but instinct says he'll self- destruct.
