Lewis/Wlad/Hopkins all came back from defeats. So why doubting Broner?

[richardt]

Broner never called Mexicans '*******s'.

There is also a thing as role models in Boxing. Millions viewed Ali as a role model and Broner displays a lot of the same characteritistcs and the desire/will to suceed.

Don't EVER use Ali in the same breath as Broner under any uncertain terms!

Yes, Broner did call Mexican's Wet-Backs and he did use derogatory food references and he did say Mexicans were limited and he gloated how he beat the fk out of a Mexican and he took a sht at Popeys and filmed himself and was filmed getting a BJob and going down on a stripper and he bit a security guard and he stole an old lady's purse. That's your darling "role model". Stop defending him!

Do you have proof of this or you just listening to rumors?

Is this a sincere thread?? All one has to is rewatch the Maidana fight Zero adjustments, does not mnow what his ring identity is. Just overrated, plain and simple. Cherry picking trinkets is quite easy nowadays.

What fight were you watching? I saw a intense back and forth battle in which Maidana won 7 of 12 rounds and Broner won 5. He also was badly hurting and wobbling Maidana in the 12th.

It was on Twitter where he called Mexican's Wet-backs which is no surprise because approximately a year or two earlier he had made derogatory comments about Mexican's being limited, derogatory comments in reference to Mexican food and about a year after the comments he made calling Mexicans Wet-backs, he did his infamous "I just beat the *** out of a Mexican!!" rant that the world of Boxing saw live on TV.

As well, there are at least 2-3 articles on Boxing Scene point to 3-4 incidents of Broner's racial remarks. And on this same site someone posted a video of Broner going down on a dancer and a video of him throwing money away, taking a sht at Popey's, and a video of him getting a Bjob. You are new to this site, I get it, but everyone here has known about these things for some time. I realize this is all coming as a shock to you right now but hey, we have all had fighters who we had the highest regards for and then things changed. Draft up a new role model.....I have confidence you will find one more suitable.

UPDATE: to be exact, Broner retweeted "wet-back" and other racist remarks on his twitter account and then said "that felt good".

Is the OP serious? The first three guys are ATG. Broner is mediocre. That's your difference.

Broners good and fun to watch but I wouldn't be surprised if he never even makes it to THOF.

They BECAME ATGS...............They weren't ATGS at the time of their first loss.

Hall of Fame is nothing.............Gatti was in the Hall of Fame...............Broner is 10x Gatti in skills.

I agree that Broner may have a somewhat bright future at WW if he keeps that blood and guts strategy of taking shots and exchanging which is reminiscent of Gatti. People loved Gatti though, which can't really be said about Broner right now even though he show's true grit and determination. Broner's only chance for a successful long term career is to become more of a tactician with his offense and improves his movement. Right now he just stands there takes shots, pot shot at openings, repeat. Since he is already small for WW and even light WW along with his power not seeming to carry up, chances of him staying at the top isn't likely. He is good for the sport though and I do hope he improves in his boxing game.
