Re: Mayweather and Broner..May 4th
Broner does not move as well as Floyd, maybe he does have to but Floyd is the more complete fighter. Broner has time on his side and will have to market himself as a person you either love or mostly hate. I do not think he will have the success that Floyd has had moving up the weights. I can see Garcia and Khan beating him at light welter if he ever moved up.

I would literally smile for 5 seconds then forget they ever existed.

Broner is 26-0 with 21 KOs, when Floyd was that age he was rougly the same.
Too be honest im not overly impressed with Broner, he's nowhere near as slick as Mayweather. He tries to be Mayweather but he ain't no Mayweather, Broner also has had 2 gift decisions already in his career.

Agreed, Broner ain't no Floyd, and who's the biggest name on his resume, DeMarco @ Lightweight? Before everyone coronates this fucking clown, lets see how he does against some of the top dogs.
Re: Mayweather and Broner..May 4th
If Broner was to get on the Maywether, May 4th undercard, who's a real possible opponent that fight fans will like to see? Considering a Broner fight will come before Canelo(vs hopefully Trout), and the main event of Mayweather vs The Ghost.
As a matter of fact, what will be the ideal card for May 4th?
Main event
Money vs Ghost
Co-main event
Canelo vs Trout
Televise undercard
Broner vs Judah(Judah beats Garcia)
or
Broner vs Peterson
K9 vs Kirkland
I think Floyd and GBP can really make that happen. Just a matter of egos on an undercard!!

Mayweather and broner is a good look and i see broner getting better and better.
With broner fighting on the undercard on may the 4th i see nothing but good things for the money team.
Yes, broner does copy floyds methods but its slowly being adapted to his own style.
Your thoughts..
I don't know anything about Broner's background but I doubt he's had the same advantages Floyd has had as far as boxing goes.
Let's face it, Floyd has been in and around more gyms, boxers, sparing sessions, trainers and fighters than most boxers.
That's the main reason I would rate Broner higher than Floyd, he's gotten where he is without the special attention Floyd has had.
Floyd is an amazing fighter but I think he will be surpassed by Broner, if Broner can stay focused on boxing. He will earn more money, in boxing, without a doubt.
Keeping that zero will be the real test!
But Floyd fought much better competition and probably for less money than the stage Broner's at now.

I don't know if I agree with that. Floyd had the Olympic Bronze over Broner, that's a leg up for sure, but in terms of Pro accomplishments their records seem to be similar. Both were world champs - Broner in two different weight classes, Floyd in one.

Haha, maybe you should go to counciling if you can hate two guys you never met that much.

I think he's the real deal and I could care less whether he's the class clown or not. What he copies method wise is basing everything behind his shoulder but other then that you are right hiss style from there is his own. He wants to lead as much as he counters and mixes them together. His stance is quite wide which may cause him problems in the future(movement from side to side from that wide stance). He remains quite flat footed and looks to take you out with either hand in a seek and destroy mission. He's massive for a lightweight and is probably just as fast as Gamboa.
His timing is also impeccable whether coincidence or planned. Many of the 140 guys are battle worn and moving up to 147 and many of the stars at 147 are getting a little long in the tooth. I expect him to be a welter by this time next year and failing some kind of melt down I think he will be a huge star.

IMO Robert Guerrero beats Broner

he's shown he can handle the big boys power, and is big enough to mix it up at 147, he's slick has good technical ability and a southpaw, in other words, better than anyone Broner has faced

At welter Guerrero would manhandle Broner at the lower weight I am not so sure.
