Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather Rips Broner: Who The F*** Did He Beat?

[hitking]

I don't think they have a problem with him, just calling it as they see it. They don't owe him anything, so just speaking their mind.

What purpose does it serve?

[hitking]

the only people that thought he was it was you're nephews fans the rest of us was just like you we thought he wasn't ****. we hear sr. say it now roger this is what the TMT thinks about him they seen him train. even Floyd said it after seeing him spar in a 24 7 episode en route to fight canelo. "he look good but he's fighting an amateur"

I don't think a single semi-decent poster on this forum thought AB was the next Floyd. And speaking for myself. Even as a fan of AB, I've been critical of most of the career moves he was making. And that's strictly from a boxing standpoint and had nothing to do with his outta the ring activities. I think the general concensus was that the jury was still out on AB. And IMO, it still is. In the mind of his critics, this fight validated that he ain't ****, never was ****, and never will be ****. For people like myself, it showed that he isn't a once-in-a-generation talent. But he still has an opportunity to have a very successful career if becoming the best FIGHTER he can be becomes the priority over being a star.

Floyd would get the same beatdown treatment Boner hot had Junior fought Mosley, Cotto, Sergio, and Pacquiao in their prime. Leonard and Hearns fought each other twice, each went up and fought Hagler in his prime, fought Wars with Duran. The paycheck was secondary. Your nephew won't fight anyone, until he has hand picked strategically the safest route to the back. I will say this about Boner, and I don't like the guy; he had the ballz to tell fans to pick his next opponent, and he landed a very dangerous Maidana at the peak of his career. The ending didn't work out for him but he stayed in the best he could. That's more than I can say about Floyd JUNIOR.

Hearn's didn't have a war with Duran.

People call Golovkin and Kovalev hype jobs- the difference is they're ready and willing to fight anyone. Broner and Canelo on the other hand are perfect examples of careful picking, maneuvering and marketing by their promoters/managers. They didn't even get their feet wet, people expected way too much. Canelo wasn't "The one" and Broner wasn't the next Floyd. Broner can still comeback and have a great career... One loss is nothing, but THAT is what a hype job is, IMO

Agree like who did broner really beat? He looked ordinary against ponce and PM and still managed to get tagged by guys like Gavin rees, he was never going to be the next mayweather. He never went into a fight as an underdog he was feed bums and when he step-up he failed.

Uncle Rog was never gonna toe the party line. His bull**** threshold is set too low for that.

Cheap, low, classless, not necessary, etc, etc, etc. I really don't understand what Roger and Floyd Sr's problem with Broner. The kid has shown their entire camp nothing but love. He never was, and never will be a threat to Floyd Jr. So what's their problem with him? Floyd came out and supported the kid after the loss. So why go this route? Don't understand it for the life of me.

Well, Roger is consistent. That's the kind of trainer Broner needs, a trainer that will put him in his place. Did you see after he got knocked down and his trainers were talking to him? All he kept saying was "everybody calm the **** down imma knock this mf out" instead of talking game plan. He runs his corner, he needs someone like Roger tell him to shut up and listen.

This is all orchestrated by Floyd ie good cop, bad cop. Floyd will have slated broner but told his dad and uncles, u guys say what I really think if him and I ll pretend that I m okay with him haha Floyd's dad and uncle wouldn't slate anyone so much if Floyd was not in agreement

To be honest, I don't think Floyd thinks that much of AB as a fighter to put that much energy into it. Floyd is a boxing genius. And I'm pretty sure that Floyd, likely long before AB was on our radar, knew that AB wasn't a special talent. Now, I do think that Floyd likely saw AB as a guy that could be built into a big enough attraction to do moster numbers with him on a PPV. But now that that's gone, AB is nothing more to him than another person kissing his ass. Plus, I think Floyd likes AB. And I think that he will help him where he can. But like I said, AB's not even good enough for Floyd to even feel thratened enough to do something like this.

Roger is the only real dude there.

Mayweather Jr: Real champ, got his back, my lil bro.
Mayweather Sr: Needs new trainer, i'd help him, fix his mistakes.
R. Mayweather: Who the f-ck did he beat? Don't see anything in him.

I'm not a big believer in the opinion that a trainer can make a big difference, especially at the highest level. AB is what he is. And whatever Roger could do for him from a technique andgameplanning standpoint. It would all go to hell once AB gets hit in the mouth.

The reality is, AB isn't special. He's good. Maybe even very good. But you have to be special if you wanna gett out here and mix it up with bigger and stronger guys. AB has a couple choices to make. He can make being a good fighter his priority. Meaning go back down to 35 and defend his title. Or if he can't make 35 go down to 40. Amd start rebuilding himself against guys more his size. And do so outta the limelight. Or he can stay with his "I'm AB, the future of boxing" routine, rematch Chino. And win or lose, probably lose. He'lliltimately become a vunurable villian thaat used as a sellable tune-up for top welters and gateskeeper for up-n-comers. Which basicaly means he'll be this era's Ricardo Mayorga.

All im saying is that in any sport a player or fighter has that 2nd set of eyes in his coach or trainer. Broner doesn't listen to them though. He hasn't been in the game long enough to coach himself through a fight. Broner runs his corner and it shouldn't be like that.
