How is Broner Being Held to Higher and Double Standards Already?!

[Nahshon Israel]

this is a guy who couldnt even make 140 just 2 fights later and now of all sudden its no way possible he weighs over 150.

What? Get it together Broner couldn't make 130 anymore, he's now @ 135 making weight no problem! Where did you get 140 from, he's never fought @ that weight?

[Scarcaztic]

pretty much.

Good example was when he faced demarco, he demolished him and people are waiting for the next guy to get behind.

Him fighting the rees of the worlds is not doing himself any favors, and only people that should be next is Vasquez or Burns if either or both of them he should move up to 140 there is no one at 135 NO ONE there to fight for him, he can move up and fight some lower level 140 for a few fights and will get more respect then if he stays at 135 and doesnt fight vasquez/burns.

No one in their right mind was predicting Demarco to win.

This is an old Flowmo tactic being adopted by Bromos. Fight an average to above average opponent, and claim that people were predciting said average fighter was going to be Floyd/Broner. Then when Broner/Floyd beat said fighter, you hear things like, "Ya'll thought he was gonna lose!? You guys keep wishing on his downfall!" "Ya'll thought bum x was gonna beat him. Ya'll thought bum y was gonna beat him. Ya'll thought bum z was gonna beat him!"

Hypothetically speaking, lets say he ducks and dodges most of the top guys at 140, and waits til they've all beaten up on each other, then fights the weakest one out of the bunch. The Bromos/Flowmos go crazy like that was the fight of the century, and say things like, "What else does he have to prove to ya'll!? He just beat up Lamont Peterson! (at age 42)"

Rinse and repeat.

Because he calls fighters like Marquez nothing special and says he would walk through 140. Go figure.

Actually a lot of people were picking Demarco based on Broner's troubles with Ponce De Leon, so stop trying to re-write history.

Ever since he was compared to Mayweather for being ****y or using the philly shell D he has been set to standards much too high. He isn't May, doesn't fight like May.

I'd rather compare him to James Toney.

People that don't know **** about boxing. Ponce moves, and has a weird rhythm, and timing.

Demarco is an erect statue, waiting to get picked off.

If memory serves correct, there were a bunch of threads saying, "you guys see what Linares was doing to Demarco's overrated ass!? Imagine what Broner would do!"

[Weebler I]

he is clearly to big for that divison,and if he wants to be a mayweather clone,he should follow floyd and fight his tough challenges at a young age..he's sorta like when cotto was down there and coming into fights at 160.**** is ridiculous

i dont think ive ever seen a top guy nt make weight at 22 years old
and judah and alexander are light years ahead of anybody broner has fought,nor was he even favored to win those fights.matthyse gets praise for the perfomance he put on against tough foes

I don't really get this, boxing is based on weight class, not size.

Totally agree, I recall posters saying Broner has never faced a fighter like demarco tall 5'10, southpaw with power. The board was divided @ about 45/55 for Broner. That's as close as can be. Now after Broner dominated demarco, demarco was never good and a bum. It was also mind boggling that guys would compare Ponce De Leon to Demarco, totally different styles of fighters

140 was the rehydrate limit for that fight.the lowest he could get down to was 143.he ended up weighing 147 for fight night.so imagine what he weighed in unofficially

New drinking game. Take a shot whenever a Mayweather and Broner fans says "double standard".
