Watch the Daniel Ponce De Leon fight, after that fight I knew Broner was all hype, always has been and always would be.... Little Abner Mares KTFO DPDL, as did JML, twice.
People keep repeating this myth that Broner only looks bad because he's fighting at too high a weight and will be a top fight if he moves back down. But he got outboxed and outfought for long periods against De Leon at SFW which tell you everything. He just isn't a top level fighter.
Hopefully the hype is over and we can continue on our quest to good ol' boxing pre-floyd/pac.... no more Floyd wannabes or rewarding negative fight styles, no more PED users... just the best fighting the best.
Never been a believer of broner. His best win is demerco,comes overweight to another contender escobedo,almost lost to feather fisted malinaggi,having a difficulty beating taylor who the one algieri beat convincingly and when he step up in competition he got beaten by b level fighter maidana and porter and that tells you something. He cant get a credible win above 135 were he cant impose his sized and fighting physically smaller fighters.
I did like Broner and was one of the many that said he has talent and could be a force to be reckon with. But after last night, he should go back down to 135, or stop trying to emulate Mayweather's style bcause Floyd's style works for him. Broner is a bust, and Mayweather is beginning to see it.
Even Gavin Rees was outboxing him until Broner's superior size, strength and punching power took over.
I'd be interested in seeing Broner try to deal with Algieri, Guerrero, or even Berto. The only 'top' guy I'd give him a chance against is Khan.
I don't think he's all that good, relatively speaking, and I don't like him despite being a fan of Mayweather. He wants to be Mayweather but for some reason only seems to pick up on Mayweather's bad traits.
I'm a broner fan he has talent but the truth is he's not dedicated to the sport. He spends too much time partying and raping. If he was dedicated to boxing and got a real trainer not a yes man he would be better. First he needs to move down to 140 I was never a fan of him going up to 147. I have no idea who told him to move to 147
