About Broner, I more or less agree with you, except I think he is a bit of a prick. I get the impression Broner is going be be protected and he isn't exactly calling out the top dogs in and around his weight-class right now. Hell, a few potential coming out fights for Broner can't be made because the dude insists of becoming friends with everyone. I think he has untapped potential, I just hope we get a chance to see what he can really do.

Matthysse and GGG are not only civilized and respectful people, they are actually excellent, crowd pleasing boxers. Most of their fights you can watch half a dozen times. Exciting, lots of KOs, two hard working guys.
They are the anti-Broners.
You must be smoking some nasty shít if you put those three names together.

Originally posted by Public_Enemy View PostActually Matthysse has accomplished the most out of the 3. I would say Broner has done as much as GGG has. It's just that Golovkin has been more impressive by knocking most of his opponents out. I think you should also consider the fact that Broner has been moving up weight classes. He's already a 3 weight champ.
About Broner and GGG, yeah, on paper their accomplishments do look pretty similar(Broner might even have the edge), but I think you do have to take the manner in which they are winning into account. GGG is knocking dude's heads off while Broner is getting gift decisions and going life and death with Malignaggi.Last edited by PUK_MY_DANG_34; 08-19-2013, 08:33 AM.

Originally posted by PUK_MY_DANG_34 View PostI'm basically saying Broner is the least deserving of the hype he's getting. He isn't as hyped as GGG or Matts around here(I agree the hype for all 3 is a bit nuts), but people on WSHH, YouTube, etc. legitimately think he is the second-coming of Mayweather.
I think GGG is least deserving and then Broner. My issue with the Matts hype was when it started-post Mike Dalls Jr was ridiculous. But the Petersen win was big and he deservved more credit.
