Broner's immitation of Mayweather

ward says floyd is one of his main inspirations

 

I saw Devon using pull counters.

 

why not learn the style from someone who still has not been figured out yet? learning from the best is smart. just like kobe did with jordan

 

What you are forgetting OP is that most people on ESB hate Floyd and therefore when they see someone copying his style, they don't like it.

Imho there is nothing wrong with Broner mimicking Mayweather a little.....same with Canelo trying to do the shoulder roll etc

Alot of fighters respect Floyd.

 

canelo is just funny as **** when he tries it

 

In Floyd's earliest career he was imitating Sweetpea. When he was first starting he was punching a little bit like sweetpea and imitating his swagger. But eventually he stopped doing it when he was 12 fights or something into his career.

The the former always influence the new. it's smart he wants to imitate Mayweather, that's a style that is a good one to try and emulate. Ali imitated Ray Robinson and Ali said it all the time that he did...

 

If he ever fights Mayweather, I'd love to see him try to use it then.....he'd be in f**king trouble lol!

 

Leonard took aspects of Ali and Ray Robinson's style, but he didn't flat out 'copy' them. There's a difference between inspiration and blatantly copying. You can't do what Floyd mayweather does better or as good as he can. You should develop your own style and do what feels natural to you. Broner's Mayweather imitation is just that - an imitation. I don't see him as anymore then a C level fighter right now.

 

i think floyd would be insulted! floyd SNR would be insulted the most!

 

Floyd's style is very hard to copy...Marquez even said his style is very difficult...Floyd gives you different looks..He doesn't stay in one form..high guard down to the Philly shell...He used to drop his hands and look for spots too, but I haven't seen him do this in a long time...since Baldomir. Broner immitates Floyd's style very well.

 

Could you imagine what Roger and Snr would say?

LOLOLOLO!!!!

It would be classic!

 

There's nothing wrong with emulating his moves or tactics. Floyd is a great subject of study. Problem is, Broner copies his every habit and movement. It has come to the point that he reacts to feints and punches the same way with the same characteristic flinches and micro-movements, and has molded his in-ring vision to fit within the template of Mayweather's style. It's limiting to Broner's potential, potentially dangerous, and takes away from his own identity as a good young fighter.

 

'he don't know **** bout rolling'
how funny would it be if floyds corner just started laughing?! :rofl

 

A lot my boys try using the pac southpaw style during bar fights and usually get laid out cold with their eyes crossed. I be hitting them with the slick 1-2 piece and I don't have a scratch on me.
