    Motherf**ker, go look at Pacquiao's resume prior to getting KTFO. And then look at Broner's. Broner had a 50th of the resume. Broner was knocking out the Gavin Rees', Escobedo's, and Eloy f**king Perez's of the world before he got **** on.

    Don't be f**king ****** trying to put Adrien Broner in the same breath as Manny Pacquiao.

        That's not what I was referencing. You said Broner is only known for the loss he took against Maidana. So with that being the case, I assume a lot of people only see Manny as that guy who was face down napping in the end of the 6th round.

          No it didn't and no he isn't.

          He's just a Pacquiao hater, that's all.

                Just put him on ignore. He's an obvious race baiting troll/alt

                Boston Guy or The Reed will clear his situation up shortly.

                  Andre Ward. His inactivity has rendered him almost irrelevant and the ratings basically prove that (Check the ratings for the Rodriguez fight). He'll be lucky to fight once in 2014. If he doesn't, it's only going to get worse.

                  Because he's so inactive, the ratings are lower and therefore he deters other "high profile" fighters from wanting to fight him.

                    Victor Ortiz - He was in a huge PPV fight against Floyd Mayweather a few years ago, now he's lost 3 consecutive bouts by KO and his career is pretty much over.

                    Lucas Matthysse - I like the guy and he's one of my favorite guys to watch that's out right now. However his stock has went down. In about a year, he went on fighting on the undercard of a huge Mayweather PPV fight in a title fight against Danny Garcia, and possibly be the next up to face Floyd himself to fighting back to back fights against relative unknowns for no belts still. What a difference a year makes. Marcos Maidana last year was probably fighting for his last realistic title shot against Broner, now he's heading into a rematch with Floyd. A year ago who would've thought it would be Maidana, and not Matthysse, in that position?

                    Sergio Martinez - A few years ago this guy was one of the most avoided guys in his division, whom a lot of people thought would make for a compelling opponent for Floyd at 154. After a few disappointing fights after his schooling of Chavez, and losing his belt to Cotto by TKO, he's now on the verge of retirement. His decline isn't as bad as others since it's due to age and injuries, which happens to almost every fighter.

                    Andre Berto - The once undefeated figher, who was another heir apparent to Floyd, was a rising star until his defeat to Victor Ortiz. He's lost his last 3 out of 4 fights, and most recent by TKO. Injuries and inactivity has seen his stock take a major hit.


                    James Kirkland - After suffering a shocking and embarrassing first round KO at the hands of soft hitting Nobuhiro Ishida, he bounced back by winning his next 3 fights by KO/TKO. However inactivity due to his run ins with the law and promotional conflicts have seen Kirkland's name disappear whenever the 154 division is mentioned. However a fight with Canelo Alvarez can help bring back his stock.

                    Amir Khan - After losing by a shocking 1st round KO at the hands of hard hitting Colombian Breidis Prescott, Khan came roaring back winning his next 8 bouts and winning the WBA and IBF titles on the way. However, after a controversial loss to Lamont Peterson and a shocking TKO to Danny Garcia, mixed in with less than stellar wins against Carlos Molina and Julio Diaz has seen his stock go down. His impressive victory over Luis Collazo has helped his stock and a victory over another rated Welterweight like Robert Guerrero or Devon Alexander can put him right back on track.

                    There's more but I don't feel like typing that much. lol
