    See??? We can agree on something
    lol...Nah but where I was going with that is....You said something along the lines of "a young fighter gets held to higher standards when he gets a belt".

    Yes..Broner had a "belt" but he was a paper champion. The belt was BS and as a beltholder, he defended it against BS contenders.

        I agree Broner hasn't accomplished much. Can anyone let me know if this is true. Read on another site that Broner asked more than once that this fight be at a higher weight. Is that true? If so that kind of changes my stance on him coming in overweight. But if he knew from the very beginning he couldn't make 130 he should've just vacted the 130 belt and fought at 135 on sat.
