    - - Poor Boner limited mid double digit IQ did the best he could. Spence definitely wasted what was turning into a legendary career, but he made some $$$.

    Craw the only fighter Arum had that lost him $$$, but Craw made enough to be a big shot in Omaha which ain't shabby for someone with the charisma of a rattlesnake.

      i think broner could have gotten further if he had the right team around him. he was misguided.

I find it strange how you defend wilder but bash those guys as if wilder is on another level when he's not, he was just matched soft and promoted heavily which is what you accused Tyson of?
        Read his user name again.

          You can lead a horse to water, man. Broner just never had the head for true success.

            Joan Guzman for me.

            He is less accomplished than most of that list had more skill than most of them combined.

            Should have been one of the best of his era if not the best and an all-time great. Exceptional little fighter

              I was a big fan of his too in the late 00s and early 2010s, awkward, good speed, and reflexes. His main problem was issues with weight and some inactivity. he should have stayed at feather no higher than 135.

                Wilder decapitates -
                Berbick
                Smith
                Tucker
                Bruno
                Seldon
                ​Spinks (the version Mike fought)

                Del Bum would make easy work of them

                Outside of Spinks (IF it was prime Spinks), those are the least notable "champs" a person should ever brag about beating !!!

                  Mike would retire half way through who Ruiz faced.
                  Yes, a top 5 fighter of the 1980s,

                      because he didnt have the right team around him... he didnt have anyone strong enough to tell him what he needed to hear... he surrounded himself with a bunch of dudes that is hungry for money so they let AB do whatever he wants as long as they are getting paid.
