    Nowhere near a 22 yr old Floyd in terms of skill, but he looks alot more powerful.

    well im a fan so far. i don't care if he gets "exposed" as you all say. I don't care if he loses a load of fights.

    The guy is very entertaining in and out of the ring, and i look forward to his career.

    Broner should have a loss to PDL.

    There is only one person that can beat Broner 135 to 140 thats Broner if he keeps working on the D and stay with the body attack he will be a star.

    Going to go with no on this. Broner isn't doing anything in the ring that Floyd didn't do.

    No, he was at his very best at 130. Broner is going to do very well. I can see him easily winning a title at 135 and moving through 140 and 147 just like PBF.

    He's stylistically more similar to the Floyd we see today, but less offensively dynamic than Floyd was at that age.

    Broner has KTFO absolute glass chin boxers and has a padded record. Floyd fought tougher competition.

    Floyd was also more genius than boner in the ring.

    He's closer to Ian Napa than Mayweather.

    Seriously though, Broner is a good fighter but this is getting silly.

    That's it.
    Broner doesn't get to choose how to fight. He's already heavy for his legs for him to be as dynamic as a young Floyd. That's another reason why he seems to have more power, which IMO, is also deceptive for several other reasons.
    Remember that Floyd would only rehydrate very little (couple pounds at times) on fight nigh as opposed to almost 20.
    It'll be interesting to see how Broner reacts when he's forced to switch things up.

    **** no. Mayweather at 22 years old was a really special fighter.

    Can't answer that because Broner is still fighting stiffs, while 22 year old Floyd was fighting legit opponents.
