    When talking about Adrien Broner ~
    "His shtick is real; he's always been like that. And as a fighter, he reminds me of Floyd Mayweather, but with power."
    - Naazim Richardson

    ........ People are really underestimating Floyd's power. When Floyd was 130 he was ko/tko dudes out all the time. And when he went up weight classes, it's only natural for him to have a less ko percentage.

    I mean I'm pretty sure Broner will move up in weight and they will see less knockouts.

    His style will change as he gets older.

    Floyd was known as a knockout artist in the lower weights

    This quote is meant for casual fans who havnt followed the sport long so they can associate Broner with someone

    i agree boxers do lose power when they move up a few weight classes so we see when broner does move up.
    i also agree that broner is the next superstar p4p king in the future

    Floyd was knocking out real mother ****ers at 130, Corrales for example, not just knocking em out but dominating them along the way, Broner hasnt knocked out anybody near that level yet too early to tell

    Broner will never be as good as Mayweather.

    Broner by far is a lot more flawed than a 130lbs Mayweather.
    But he is fun to watch lets see how long this ride lasts?

    Did you see the Ponce De Leon fight? He was completely lost. Hopefully he picks it back up and lands a big fight soon.

    I agree, Floyd was definitely a hard hitter at the weight, and a respectable one now. He'd probably have stopped the likes of Eloy Perez sooner.

    Yes I saw that, Every fighter goes through that, Floyd went through it with Augustus and Castillo.

    Good learning experience for him I think he will be okay.. Too early to say he is the next Gen fighter, Too early to say he wont be anything.

    Other than Broner constantly emulating Mayweather, they have nothing in common when talking about ring abilities.

    BTW, "The problem" found "the answer" when he lost to PDL...
