I think the fighter that has had their stock drop the most is Martin Murray..
Last year he was the uncrowned mw champ, but since the serg fight, he has lost all momentum and hype by not taking any big fights and instead trying to milk his newfound status vs subpar competition. This has really affected his status in the sport and is basically just an after thought in the mw division now..
Victor Ortiz - He was in a huge PPV fight against Floyd Mayweather a few years ago, now he's lost 3 consecutive bouts by KO and his career is pretty much over.
Lucas Matthysse - I like the guy and he's one of my favorite guys to watch that's out right now. However his stock has went down. In about a year, he went on fighting on the undercard of a huge Mayweather PPV fight in a title fight against Danny Garcia, and possibly be the next up to face Floyd himself to fighting back to back fights against relative unknowns for no belts still. What a difference a year makes. Marcos Maidana last year was probably fighting for his last realistic title shot against Broner, now he's heading into a rematch with Floyd. A year ago who would've thought it would be Maidana, and not Matthysse, in that position?
Sergio Martinez - A few years ago this guy was one of the most avoided guys in his division, whom a lot of people thought would make for a compelling opponent for Floyd at 154. After a few disappointing fights after his schooling of Chavez, and losing his belt to Cotto by TKO, he's now on the verge of retirement. His decline isn't as bad as others since it's due to age and injuries, which happens to almost every fighter.
Andre Berto - The once undefeated figher, who was another heir apparent to Floyd, was a rising star until his defeat to Victor Ortiz. He's lost his last 3 out of 4 fights, and most recent by TKO. Injuries and inactivity has seen his stock take a major hit.
James Kirkland - After suffering a shocking and embarrassing first round KO at the hands of soft hitting Nobuhiro Ishida, he bounced back by winning his next 3 fights by KO/TKO. However inactivity due to his run ins with the law and promotional conflicts have seen Kirkland's name disappear whenever the 154 division is mentioned. However a fight with Canelo Alvarez can help bring back his stock.
Amir Khan - After losing by a shocking 1st round KO at the hands of hard hitting Colombian Breidis Prescott, Khan came roaring back winning his next 8 bouts and winning the WBA and IBF titles on the way. However, after a controversial loss to Lamont Peterson and a shocking TKO to Danny Garcia, mixed in with less than stellar wins against Carlos Molina and Julio Diaz has seen his stock go down. His impressive victory over Luis Collazo has helped his stock and a victory over another rated Welterweight like Robert Guerrero or Devon Alexander can put him right back on track.
There's more but I don't feel like typing that much. lol
Andre Ward. His inactivity has rendered him almost irrelevant and the ratings basically prove that (Check the ratings for the Rodriguez fight). He'll be lucky to fight once in 2014. If he doesn't, it's only going to get worse.
Because he's so inactive, the ratings are lower and therefore he deters other "high profile" fighters from wanting to fight him.
Motherf**ker, go look at Pacquiao's resume prior to getting KTFO. And then look at Broner's. Broner had a 50th of the resume. Broner was knocking out the Gavin Rees', Escobedo's, and Eloy f**king Perez's of the world before he got sh*t on.
Don't be f**king stupid trying to put Adrien Broner in the same breath as Manny Pacquiao.
Just put him on ignore. He's an obvious race baiting troll/alt
Boston Guy or The Reed will clear his situation up shortly.
Didn't something similar happen to Pacquiao? Tell me, is he a laughing stock?
No it didn't and no he isn't.

He's just a Pacquiao hater, that's all.

Lmfao you're f**king delusional, homey. His stock will never be the same again. Biggest part of his allure was the fact that he had that zero on his record and constantly flaunted it. Then he got p*ssed on in front of every boxing fan in the world that night against Maidana.
Everytime people see him they'll remember him getting his ass whipped and then bolting to the locker room nearly in tears, barely walking, and getting trash from the crowd rained down on him.
Lol Broner from here on out is a circus side show. And you got the nerve to try to rip GGG, though. :rofl:

Pacquiao
Donaire
Mares
Rios
Marquez
Wlad
Provodnikov
Mikey Garcia
Pacquiao has had a great year. The Rios fight he boxed superbly and he out boxed Bradley in a fun fight. Marquez did drop a little, he would have schooled Provo.
If anything it's plateaued and it'll be right back where it was when he steamrolls through Taylor.

Really? There's a 100 something page thread on this very forum dedicated to pictures of Broner getting knocked down and losing. In fact it's still bumped to this day. It was all over social media and so on. There's no such thing as bad publicity, because publicity is simply that.
To think, Pacquiao got put to sleep and his thread has less posts than a guy who didn't even get stopped and lost a competitive decision.
Sure you can say the quality of opponents has dropped, as would happen with any fighter but his stock hasn't dropped.
Do you understand what stock means? He's viewed as a complete laughing stock now.
We'll see when he headlines that card on September 6th. I'm hearing they're expecting a sellout and Broner is fighting a rather unknown.
So this f**king tard names all those fighters (Pac, Donaire, Rios, Mikey, Mares, Provo, etc.) but then says "we'll see" on Broner. This is also the same f@g who was sh*tting all over GGG in an earlier thread.
You f**king dork, Broner got publicly urinated on and then followed it up with a fight against a guy that was tune up target practice for Amir Khan. And looked infinitely less impressive than Khan in the process. You obviously have an agenda.
red k coming for a garbage poster.....beeeeeyatch :peeright:
He was on national news when he made that comment about Mexicans. People all over the internet were going crazy over it. His stock hasn't dropped at all. If anything it's plateaued and it'll be right back where it was when he steamrolls through Taylor.
27 years of wasted breathing. Can you imagine all the oxygen you have stolen from us? I want it back, with interest.

His stock as a fighter plummeted when he got steamrolled by the first real threat he faced.
His next fight is rumored to be in his hometown of Cincinnati. We'll see what the crowd looks like then.
So his stock hasn't dropped because he can draw a crowd in his hometown? Great logic

I'm pretty sure broner will be able to sell that out, but that's his hometown.. Macro view of boxing suggests broner's stock has steadily dropped since it hit it's high mark following the demarco win..
