I think most people acknowledge he is very talented. But he has not faced anyone of note (except maybe DeLeon...who some thought beat him) to warrant the "hype." I would like to see him face better quality opponents before anointing him the next great fighter. And his personality is a bad imitation job of Floyd's. If he is going to try and act like an idiot...don't expect people to love him or root for him.
I hear ya and all I am saying is he has the tools from what I can see. As far as facing the talent he should be well that seems to be a trend. Fighters are coddled and kept away from adversity. As far as Ponce goes I think Broner slept on him. Rookie mistake, it happens. I don't really pay attention all that much to ring antics or like or dislike a fighter because of them.

The fight with Demarco should be doable as they are both GBP. If not move to 140 because he's going there anyway.
