Right now I think its extremely premature to be crowning him the next great thing, especially as hes in new territory. Everyone breathe 1 2 3..I saw a Ponce Deleon touch him enough to deserve a nod and his nerve has yet to really be tested and for that matter his chin tapped. He needs to fight a live mutual body. If he actually trains and meets a solid 135 DeMarco would be a fun fun fight. Until hes proven he can beat that class I pick DeMarco..as well as Marquez in the short term via school lessons at 135-140. Alvarado has a frontal one dimensional and inviting style that would suit Broner well but is at least fresh, undefeated and equal weight.
I still dodnt understand how he got annointed the next great thing...I to saw ponce beating him. I understand hbo catering to the big names but hell broner ain't a name yet and I'm pretty sure if you asked non boxing fans in his hometown they wouldn't know who the fuck he is. Then again the next great thing often doesn't work out, hell I remember espn or hbo telling me tha gamboa will be a megastar in a year, two years ago. His attitude or ego is going to get him, marquez beats him every day of the week, would love to see lucas get a shot at him. Boxing is fucked up lucas always comes to fight , professional yet you don't see him get catered to by hbo/showtime instead you see him get the shaft twice in hometown decisions. Before someone says broner is good for boxing and ill be watchin him to see him beat as many people will, not if there is another fight to watch on.
