Was Broner brought up too quickly?

[Free Booty Dew!]

Imo he was.

Leapfrogged to a stacked 147 and barely got by C class Malignaggi. Who exposed the flaws in his game. He was then fed to a bad stylistic fight against the big punching Maidana and took one hell of a beating seeing his stock go down tremendously.

Compare that to someone like Garcia who took a lot of learning fights against past it veterans like Morales and Judah.

No, he was brought up too slowly. He fought guys much smaller than him, then made a huge jump not just in weight but even in quality. Top Rank still knows how to build up their fighters the best and I don't mean in marketing. They (except for Chavez) usually have tough but winnable fights that make them better and not make them think they're better.

He needed better tests on his way up.. Never got to really mature.. Plus the hype that he created didn't t help his progression since he needed to be in big fights

[Willthethrill]

If anything he took a soft road. Beating up on dudes he's bigger than. And paulie and chino aren't high level welterweights. He never tested himself

[Nights King]

Skipping 140 was a horrendous career move.

I doubt that was management - it looks like it stems from his ego at the time of being undefeated rendering the thoughts of being invincible.

Maidana was that guy that brought him back to reality.

Anyways he's the closest thing to Floyd Mayweather.....

No once he lost the size advantage over the guys he was fighting like Gavin "can't ride the roller coasters at 6 Flags" Rees, we saw he wasn't actually that skilled.

He's aflettic but he's C level at best, and in 5 years he will be the new Berto.

He's already more than berto has ever been not sure why people keep comparing them. And he's not even draining himself to make weight. So his "size advantage" is exaggerated because of his physique

I agree. Instead of hanging around the lower weights for so long, he should have gradually moved up as his competition increased. This would have allowed him to develop a style that didn't rely solely on size and power once he and his trainer realized he would need more to compete.

Picking on the smaller guys, he never needed anything more than his size and power.

[Larry the boss]

He was brought up nicely...even when he was defeated he showed heart and toughness...

[TonitosWay]

Yes, he did it to himself.

Haymon tried to put brakes on him but his mouth & ego did him in.
