    Berto has already peaked and had more natural talent than Broner but he was always so flawed. Broner is still only 24 so we don't know what he'll accomplish. So i voted Berto.

    Umm Lucas walked right thru 90% of Dannys shots. He walked him down all night, and was only "dropped" when he tripped into the ropes, got tangled and fouled.
    Fair play to Danny going for the kill, but YDKSAB if you consider that a legit "hurt by a punch" KD.

    OTOH.....Broner not only did the chicken dance several times during the fight, he had to resort to cheating and crying to his lover ref to keep from being starched, KTFO in the 9th.

    Don't compare their losses. And Danny Garcia is a top 10 p4per. Madaina got schooled by Khan FFS.:patsch:patsch:patsch

    INFAMOUS BAD CHINS! Broner will be broke in a few years.

    Berto might be smarter, he doesn't have a team of freeloaders like Broner does.

    Adrien Broner, because he was hyped even more than Andre Berto by the so-called "experts" like Max Kellerman. :lol:

    The lastest love object for Kellerman is Terence Crawford.

    I remember when it seemed everyone was high on Berto so picked him as I knew Broner was overhyped from day dot.

    LMAO. Garcia was only a "top 10 p4per" after he schooled your boy Matthysse. wasn't he supposed to get KTFO early like you claimed? Matthysse was overrated and average as hell when he can't hurt his opponents. deal with it.

    Broners by far. Atleast Berto lost in a ballsy effort dropping Ortiz twice. Broners arrogance and hypelead to a far more monumental downfall. Berto also came back to win the title against Zaveck but then after thebdrugs scandel, really nosedived..

    Depends on Broners next fight or two, if he does not win clear. But I doubt he will, when you see the talent in both 140 & 147
    I mean if you "only" gets a SD against Paulie and gets a beating by Maidana.
    Then I can only imagine what a Garcia, Matthysse or Provodnikov will do to him.
    And I'm not even going to speculate on a Bradley, Pacman, Marquez or Mayweather will do to him.
    And I would love to see Broners ass handed to him by Thurman or Porter.

    Yes, the Matthysse fight put Garcia into the p4p lists, but he previously had huge wins over Morales 1, Khan, Holt, Judah, Campbell, Arnoutis, and Theophane. He ended Morales in frightening fashion. Yeah, it was a "shot" Morales, but Morales has been "shot" since before he gave the man who made Broner his b!tch, the toughest fight of his career.

    And you have once again called Mathysse vs Garcia a schooling.......I understand trolling, but Im not gonna bite b/c Im as much a Garcia fan as I am a Mathysse fan. I just happened to expect Garcia to get caught and stopped. But even without catching Garcia and getting the KO, Lucas was right there until the final bell. It was a very close fight. Nothing at all like the Broner Madaina affair. :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Broners loss was more embarrassing considering he had such a big mouth. But it's just one loss. I don't think he's done yet. Berto is done. He's been done. I think the Ortiz fight took a lot out of him. Guerrero took the rest and when he fought soto karass he basically had nothing left.

    Broner. With such a loud mouth and disrespectful attitude, that was a sight to see. Seeing him walk with only his bodyguard with him made my day. The ***** got what he deserved.

    It's not really comparable. People hate Broner but not Berto. Broner is a *****, whereas Berto isn't.

    HBO's expectations for Berto were certainly high but I don't think they were nearly as high as Broner's expectations are/ were for himself. Berto obviously won his first real test (Collazo), while Broner obviously didn't, but Berto never jumped weight classes so that probably balances things out a bit. It's a really difficult comparison...
