    I am sure we both know about who are we talking about. Or maybe it comes down their disgraceful fans.

    Got any examples of these boarder line euro champs so that we can compare, or are like the rest of your population and cannot be bothered to do much of anything?

    If Toney were really drunk with ankle and wrist weights maybe.

    It is comedic gold because you're a dumbass and don't even realise it.

    The thread starter is saying Broner is Toney except for speed and a not enough lead right. Now he's back tracking saying his fight style is like Toney.

    Broner is not anything close to James Toney. Toney would invite guys in while he leaned on the rope and make you miss. He would then time you with perfect counter punches. Toney was not a speed puncher. He was a defensive boxer that had perfect timing and accurate punches. Thread starter needs to go watch some Toney fight cause he clearly does not know what Toney style is.

    I wouldnt even give him that much, Broner was attempting to use the shoulder roll but wasnt rolling shots at all and instead was pulling straight back. Amateur stuff.

    Alot of his in ring style is a poor man's Toney. At marketing, he's a poor man's Floyd.

    At dryhumping, he's a poor man's Calzaghe, and as an actor, he's a poor man's Dirrell.

    He's better off just method acting one fighter at a time if he's going to be a professional mimic.
