I agree to an extent. His image is what got him into this tonight. Instead of building a resume at 35. GBP started trying to manufacture events for him. The Paulie fight was a manufactured event that was relatively safe because he can't punch. The miscalulation came in when GBP overrated AB's skill set. They thought he could simply outclass Maidana.
That said, losing the persona is probably the best thing that can happen for AB. He can take as back down to 35 and just be a boxer for now. Because I have no doubt in my mind the dog-n-pony show was gonna continue had he won tonight. I truly believe that GBP was gonna try and manufactire another even and move him up to 54 and try and snatch a paper trinket from the light hitting Molina.
