He's good fighter and his jokes are getting better with time. Trust me, his jokes from his last fight, were straight garbage...

In a more positive perspective, broner does show a knack for being patient, and avoid all out "slug" fest like many of his opponents.

Bruhmayne is easily the new face of boxing...

Sohh we gon act like Mayweather didn't bite off of Ali's swag, with the trash talking...

Speed and power are through the roof but he seems like more of an offensive fighter. Im not sure that will work long term. His defense needs to get better. However, it could be because he is trying to look flashy too so only time will tell :ehh: I like the kid a lot though.

The whole arrogant thing is just a gimmick for him. I see a lot of ya'll are buying into it though, which he wants you too. That's gonna be more money in his pockets.

How exactly is that money in his pockets? People act like they're going to buy his shytty fights. People need to stop comparing his stupid gimmick to what Floyd did because Floyd's plan was completely different. Floyd already had a large solid fan base of purist boxing fans, hard core fans, and got love from Mexicans before he turned into Money Mayweather.

Let's not act like a C level fighter in Ponce did not take him to school and got a gift decision against him.

White people hate overly arrogant successful black people. If he keeps winning dude will be a huge draw because of his arrogance. They'll buy the fights and hope like hell to see him lose.

White people buy PPVs? :mindblown:

Did you forget the biggest fan bases are Mexicans and Puerto Ricans? You won't sell shyt without Mexicans supporting you and Mexicans already don't like his ass.

C/S I think its because hes so much more physicaly gifted than the guys hes fighting he has a tendency to leave his guard down a lot to (I assume) try and encourage his opponent to throw more. His footwork/balance is beautiful though and he has great timing so even if his defence isnt his strong point right now it can certainly grow into one.

:comeon:

So no-ones allowed to trash talk now because they bitin off Ali?

And I guess Roger and Senior are choirboy mutes then and Floyd got nothing off them.

:whoa::whoa::whoa:

Calm down, the only connection I'm trying to make is that, Broner's trash talking isn't exclusive to jocking Mayweather...

Maybe it's dominant trait(gene), that great fighters have :ld:

Exactly. I was perplexed at the posters in the boxing forum actually buying into his gimmick and thinking he's really like that. :heh:

In terms of boxing ability he's only Floyd like in defense. He hits harder than Floyd and he prefers to walk and wear down his opponents unlike Floyd.

He eats to much of his opponents punches because he has a great chin but when he moves up to 140 he can't do that.
