Adrien Broner says Manny would be an easy fight for him!

Obviously the bullshit he talks isn't hurting his drawing power, since being a jackass is how he established himself as a draw in the first place, it's totally self fulfilling. You have to realize that his target market is people who are incredibly fucking stupid. There is nothing commendable about retaining that fanbase as opposed to actually winning the respect of people who are just fans of the sport. He is an immensely talented athlete, is what gets overlooked a lot. He SHOULD be a lot better than he is, but he hasn't tweaked anything and it's getting to the point where he would have had to. I'm still watching his fights because he's entertainig in the ring, but I really thought he might be a special fighter a couple of years ago and it seems very unlikely now.

You're just saying that because you don't like the guy. Broner does have major talent. What he was doing was trying to be a mature professional with young man tendencies- partying, drinking, whoring around, goofing off with his new money.

He is typical of someone that grew up somewhat poor but then got money, but forgot what got him that money: hard work and being dedicated to what you do.

That loss to Maidana had to prove he had to re-dedicate himself to the sport. He wont change over night, but this is a slight improvement on his part- aside form being nutty enough to call Manny out as an "easy" fight. lolololol..... he may have early brain damage!!

IMO he is an immense azzhole.

& Growing up poor doesn't contribute to that kind of behavior.
But...having an immense desire to annoy people is what contributes to assholeitis.

With his fat azz daddy brushing his...no-wave-havin' azz hair.

I wish... my son would ask me to do some ass-out knuckle headed promo-move like that... He's a semi-athletic youngin' with a fulltime jerk mentality who doesnt understand- respect the sport and the money will come...but instead; he's chasing the money and fame and hoping respect will follow- that is truly ass backwards.

Sorry for the rant...well not really

I don't think Broner is going to be in boxing, win, lose or draw, over the next 4 to 5 years. He's not a lifer. This is a paycheck for him. And he is doing so... and then he will move on to something else.

He will respect the sport just enough to get about 3 or 4 more multi-million dollar paydays. Trust me.

Garcia and Thurman are more typical of "lifers" ala Hopkins and Roy Jones than Broner is.
