    Broner is a shameless Floyd wannabe. No doubt about it. And he's not as good as Floyd (no shame in that), BUT he is very good. Good enough to beat the shit outta Salido.

    Broner FIGHTS like Floyd, but he's More Well Spoken than & NATURALLY More Charismatic than Floyd was, @ a Similar Age...The Whole BRUSH & "Can Man" Schtick R Genuinely FUNNY...

    salido is a tough guy who does steroids so him and broner is a bout im interested in. i agree that broner has a marketable personality, and genuine talent. would like to see it and this can make it happen. salido is a lot smaller than broner but better than the guys he's been facing.

    Salido is good enough to make Broner fight. I hope this fight gets made.

    any notable fighter would be an improvement on Gary Sykes, who somehow is the current frontrunner to land the fight.

    Interesting fight, Salido should test Broner. Too small though, Broner looks fucking huge at 130.

    HBO approved him as the opponent, but it's contingent on his being able to get a visa in time to travel from the U.K. Supposedly everything else is finalized.

    indeed, HBO is ridiculous, Hershman seems no better than his predecessor by approving shit match up like this. The only reason I can think of such a matchup being approved is that they want to buil Bronner up to star status. And their way is by feeding him overmatched opponents so he can look good while having thier announcers shamelessly hyping him.

    Broner would punish him. Too big, too young, too strong, too fast, and too skillful.
