Broner was a 3 weight world champion already at 25. Boots zero championships.
Just saying, be careful what you wish for because all the hype behind Boots may not pan out.
Broner had his hand raised on multiple occasions when he did not deserve it to be... Broner was very talented but Boots appears to be even more so naturally gifted. Boots won't get fights because people do not want to lose to him. Broner found a way to get fights, and because he was a draw the judges saw a lot his way.
Boots is a casualty of the modern era... Where as Broner always had weaknesses that made him an attractive opponent and was a draw because of his actions and personality, Boots is too dangerous (at least by appearances) too get a real fight.

We will soon find out. Spence will have to fight him soon or drop the belt and then Boots can fight for one. I sense that we will have a situation similar to Spence-Crawford, when both Boots and Ortiz get WW belts.
Weight classes, not height classes.
Again. the weight came down to lack of discipline. You guys act like he was some sort of monster at the lower weights and he wasnt.
Malignaggi was Broner’s first and last good win, and he went life and death with Paulie. Litzau, Granados and DeMarco were ok wins but not the kind legacies are built on. Tank has won titles in 3 weight classes and not one of them is a great win. He cherry picked his way through 3 weight classes. Ennis is unproven, but I don’t see anyone in a big hurry to fight him. Spence, Crawford, won’t give him title shots and Thurman is looking past him for a bigger payday. Outside of Burns, no one was ducking Broner.
Ennis will have to wait until titles at 147 are vacated in order to get his shot, or one of the sanctioning bodies makes him a mandatory.
The fact that a washed up, basic plodder like Demarco is still Broner's greatest W should tell you everything you need to know about his real level of ¨talent and skill¨
Boots is way better than the overrated weight bully who lost to midgets Ponce de Leon, Mikey Garcia and old ass Pacquiao
Boots would never draw with Jesse ****ing Vargas either
Boots is way better based on what? Cause it sure isn't accomplishments..
Boots has yet to fight somebody on the level of Jesse fucking vargas :lol1:
Broner was only 5’6”. And won a belt at 147 after skipping 140. Weight bully my ass.
He won a title against the lightest punching welterweight of all time and even that fight was debatable. As a matter of fact. That is the only fight he ever won at 147.
The way that Broner beat Demarco was one of the most thorough ass whoopings I've ever seen. Still waiting on a performance like that from Boots............
Demarco lol. Broner literally looked 2 weight classes bigger than him. Comparing broner to ennis shows you really don't know shit about boxing. Pick a different sport.
They all get high on that 'undefeated' streak.
Thats true, I got a feeling that its very hard for Ennis to get quality fights it appears nobody wants to fight him.
i like Boots, but this man, along with Ortiz, have been pros for almost a goddamn decade(6 years) and neither have fought another top 10 ww yet!!!

Throw in stank too. Broner was more accomplished than both those hypejobs combined at stanks age. which is pretty pathetic once you think about it
Accomplishments can be just luck in getting the right fights, its not always in direct parallel with ability, Id say Ennis is lot more of a fighter than Broner ever was, just needs the opportunities to prove himself.

That Broner has left the building years ago.
Maidana really did a number on him.
Hasn't been the same since.
From FOTD to fighting to pay for attorney fees :(

see post 19, I’m pretty much in agreement. But the skills and reflexes were there it was the lack of discipline.
You can turn it around. Broner was very physically gifted. If he would have been as thin as Mikey Garcia, then what is left of him ? All his success is based upon beating up on those small LW fighters.
Maybe Ennis is the same type of fighter, but at least he is not as obnoxious thus far.
