    I fear the Mayweather obsessive's might turn into Broner obsessives.

      Yesir, 2 sides of the same coin, ying yang. There are simply are too many excuses to have to defend to be a fan of either. I could never do it. Gimme a Paul Williams any day of the week. Who just fights whoever is willing to sign on the dotted line. Goes in there and gives 100%, gets his hands raised in victory, or leaves on a stretcher. And when he loses, I don't have to make excuses.

        Nothing but piss taking to keep their names relevant. Sad stuff.

        I miss Williams. He WAS the most feared man in boxing in mid 200s. Not Margarito. Even Margarito didn't want the rematch

          As much of a plum as Broner is, its kind of hard to criticise what he has done in the ring up to now...as long as he doesnt build a career of fighting a bunch of Gav Reese's.

            So sad what happened to him. Boxing really lost something good the day he had his accident.

              You think? I think it's easily critisized.

              I think Broner's a good fighter with a lot of potential but his resume thus far is laughable IMO.

              His run at 130 (If you can call it that) was horrific. Vacant title off a nobody and a few decent fights there at best.

              The DeMarco fight was a good win but IMO that's really the only good win of his career thus far.

              I think he's wasted the early part of his career in all honestly when he really could have put some very good wins under his belt.

                Rees deserves credit for stepping up though. Burns didn't want it at all, and judging against the Gonzales bout it's clear why.

                    I think its a little harsh judging Burns on the Chelo fight. He had an off night and looked worse than I have seen him in years. It can and does happen, I thought a fight between him and Boner would have been pretty interesting.

                      Boner Freudian slip? I think it would've been interesting but Chelo looked damn slick in there and that is something Burns never saw before.

                      Burns makes the most of what he has but really he stood no chance against Adrien I thought.
