    In his prime, Broner could beat nearly every b and c fighter out there, but he lost nearly every step-up fight he ever had.

      He was 4-4-1 vs world titlists.
      W vs Daniel Ponce de Leon UD 10
      W vs Antonio DeMarco TKO 8
      W vs Gavin Rees TKO 5
      W vs Paulie Malinaggi SD 12
      L vs Marcos Maidana UD 12
      L vs Shawn Porter UD 12
      L vs Mikey Garcia UD 12
      D vs Jessie Vargas MD 12
      L vs Manny Pacquiao UD 12

      Deserved the L against Vargas too, but whatever.

        I should have clarified when he moved up in weight, he lost nearly every fight to top guys.

          Fist to face ends all talking
          Yeah, there's a little more to it than that. Lol
          However, if I had an frienemy that I wanted to suffer a bit, the last thing I would do is give him a desperately needed payday when I can fight cabdrivers in Dubai for millions. Lol

            Damn, we missed out on a great fight between those two. I’m not sure if the actual fight itself would’ve lived up to the hype, but the build-up would’ve been beyond hilarious for sure. It’s not too late, their names still hold value in the boxing world, they can still set up an exhibition and make a few bucks.

                Floyd by UD, 9-3 or 8-4 type of fight. Bud is good, but he’s a tier below than Floyd in terms of overall package. Bud has the equalizer in punching power and killer instinct mindset, but you can say that about a lot of Floyd’s opponents. Just my irrelevant 2 cents, take it or leave it. And I’m out…

                      24 wins over other world titlists not enough? No credit for the wins over Augustus, N'dou, Sosa, Pep, Manfredy, or Juuko either?
                      Those names lie. Canelo had only beaten Austin Trout at the time (he was a novice) and Floyd laughed at Canelo for agreeing to lose weight. Said Canelo was ******. And then Floyd refused to fight Canelo once he got properly good. This story is repeated again and again with Floyd opponents..... Pacquiao was on the slide and Floyd even refused 80% Pacquiao a rematch because "Pacquio said he had injured his shoulder". Very lame. But believe what you want to believe. Floyd has all the money. What do you get for being a fanboy?
