Throughout Mayweather's career he has been an overwhelming favourite heading into the fights, maybe with the exception of the Corrales fight. While the road looks tougher for Broner there are alot of fights ahead of him that will be seen as 50-50, possibly against Gamboa, Marquez, Rios, Garcia My point is, it will be difficult for Broner to become a PPV megastar with a padded record he will really need to prove himself in challenging situations. I'm a fan of Mayweather but his opposition picking has always been smart in the sense he and the public always knew/felt he would win. With Broner it won't be as easy to get away with fighting guys that are tailor made for him especially if he want's to become the next big thing in boxing.
Broner 1st fight at 135 is Demarco Floyds 1st fight at 135 was Castillo doesn't seem tougher so far, but always a possibility
Not at 135, but at 140, GBP has some very nice talent to match him with. Floyd's 140 lb resume is **** poor...but his comp at 130-135 was excellent. While Broner's comp at 130 and 135 are **** poor.(He gets much props for stepping up against DeMarco) His potential 140lb resume is world's better. Quite interesting actually.
Yeah! As stacked as 140 is, I think we will get to see if Broner is the real deal, or if he is being "well managed", sooner rather than later.
Gamboa is still at 126. Do not see that happening, although that right there may very well be the scalp he could get in terms of the most skilled opponent. Marquez will be pushing 40 so wouldn't be a good win but nice name on resume. Garcia and rios are prolly going to be Broner's corrales and castillo.
Broner is not near the caliber of Mayweather. He is good and should beat Demarco, but he is not a Floyd Mayweather caliber fighter.
Garcia and Rios are very good scalps. Garcia is comparable to Corrales but Rios still needs more big wins to be consider as high as Castillo though.
Tougher for Broner perhaps, but Chico and Castillo are better than Gamboa, Rios, and Garcia. No comparison.
