Broner will be okay at 140... He should have never moved up so fast imo... Although hes not one of my favs its funny he moved up n fought men who were physically stronger than him who he didnt really belong in the ring with and held his own now hes a bum? Im sure its because of his mouth but you cant call this kid a bum... He needs work yes but he went up in wieght... From 135 to 147...something alot of fighters refuse to do in their own careers...

Broner at 26 has won legit recognized world championships in four divisions. No interim titles, no "regular" titles in a division with a super champion, etc.
Broner may have his fair share of detractors, but I don't think this accomplishment should be overlooked. There's only been around a dozen four division champions in boxing history if you ignore interim titles, secondary titles, WBO titles held in the 90s, etc.
So give the guy his deserved props. Being the youngest four division world champion in history is nothing to sneeze at, not to mention even being a four division champion at all. Very few men in the history of the sport have reached the pinnacle of four different divisions.

Multiple Titles in todays boxing era is a joke! The federations are deluded and void of top notch competition. The titles are only to promote "more fights" who holds the titles isn't that important. Broner is obnoxious and thats the new "colorfull" because he's not an exciting fighter he's another wait..counter move...counter punch guy, boring! He has the skills to be exciting but playing it safe is the formular that Hopkins and Floyd and Wlad have contibuted and it works well when your competition is hand picked for you.
Theres about 8 fighters who are top quality talents worth watching these days. The rest like Mayweather all follow a script!
