A little of both, but besides Ponce what 'top' fighter has Broner faced or beaten? Broner may be really good, the thing is he hasn't proved it yet. If he blitzes though DeMarco, his fans can start saying he's all that, right now he's just a great prospect. Keep in mind, Broner's only claim to fame is winning the vacant WBO super featherweight title and defending it twice against mediocre opponents. Let's keep it fucking real.

Its quite clear that you do not like the man but I'd like to know how his fans are not being real? People make far to big a deal out of the Ponce fight. That happens and it was Broners 20th fight. Much to do about nothing. Anyone who has watched the sport in any kind of a serious way can see that this kid has enormous talent. He's only 23 and only has 24 fights. Floyd fought a battle warn Hernandez (rip) in his 18th fight followed by a weird stop against Manfredy and then a selection of worn out vets and then fighting Augustus in his 24th fight. All along being touted as special. Very similar competition background. Alvarez is drawing in on 50 fights and you barely hear a peep about his lack of comp. Yet he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Broner could be the next Floyd or maybe the next Ibeabuchi but I think he is going to frustrate the hell out of DeMarco and stop him.
Brother, this puts me in a tough spot I am the very last man on Gods green Earth to 'defend' a Mayweather but I don't think Broner can hold a candle to what he faced by his 24th match. Hernandez wasn't battle worn but more caught in the crossroads. He and even the bipolar career-uncanny ability of Augustus alone blows what Broner has faced yet out of the water. More importantly Mayweather actually trained his ass off and defended early without telling fans he never tried to make weight and it wasn't important. Broner ain't Mayweather, I used to wear a towel around my neck and jump off the stairs like Broner as a lil kid but that didn't make me Superman.
