I think Broner is a great fighter, who now seems on the right mental path to keep going on.

I love the way Porter fights, and acts.

I hope his two defeats make him get back to boxing, and not media hype.

[turnedup]

Malignaggi, DeMarco, Allakhverdiev, Litzau..but he can call himself 4x world champion. Boxing is now totally about who you roll with.

he is a 4 weight titleholder....the only four weight champions are Manny and Floyd


He has shown willingness to fight good fighters.....Porter is a top 5 ww and Broner does not belong at that weight.....at the time Malignaggi was a legit top ten contender as was Maidana...he didn't win all those fights but he had the balls to make them.




real fans know the facts but to his credit he did when titles in 4 different weights and it is not easy to do, otherwise we'd have more people doing it....especially the fighters who fight from 105-140 where the classes are separated by 5lbs or less

"It's about who you know"....only one other fighter in recent history has jumped up two divisions and gotten a shot at a belt at 147 that being Marquez and that "real fans" line is more played out that true religion jeans..calling yourself a real fan is the equivalent of an ugly chick calling herself "beautiful". Yeah he's willing to face good opposition but he's lost his two step up fights. Out of all the champions at 147 there is a reason they paired him against Malignaggi, 140 they pair him up with Alkhavierdiev, both division have much better opposition which was proven at 147, which by the way you say he doesn't belong at but he's walking around weighing 165 these days. I guarantee you Broner gets two more touches and loses his next step up fight as has become the pattern for him. Sliding him downt o 140 so he doesn't have to deal with porter again, thurman, or garcia says more to me than it clearly says to you.

mosley fought a couple tune ups and got the DLH FIGHT...He skipped 140 all together




Broner doesn't have the best resume but the media isn't pumping him up to be some killer or a p4p great




there are a lot of fighters who get hyped and don't fight great competition and Broner isn't one of them

[WesternChamp]

Did anyone catch what Broner did to his TMT jersey during the charity game? Thought him and big bro cool now?

I wasn't under a rock 2-3 years ago when this guy was being hyped as the second coming of Floyd so for you to say he wasn't hyped by the media..his entire career has been on massive hype and again if he wasn't associated with who he's signed with during his career he'd have more than two losses that much I guarantee you. He got his @ss whopped on an ESPN telecast before the world knew who he was and got the decision in that fight. Broner has more washed up or c level names on his resume than anyone else in the sport seeing the kind of media attention he does or for that matter making the kind of money he makes. It's not his fault though it's the culture of the squad he's in with now as of the parting of ways with GBP. Broner is way beyond the point where he should be tuning the hell up.

anybody that thought that don't know **** about boxing



every fighter who is winning and has talent has hype but he isn't all over T.V. in commercials and/OR movies like Pacquaio, GGG, AND OTHERS

I saw that fight with Ponce De Leon, it was entertaining and he showed he can adapt....forgot my exact scores by I scored it a draw once and other time I had AB by a point or 2...I'll have to watch it again

Of course you are gonna hype the headliner of a show, but im saying outside of broadcasts he wasn't hyped like some other fighters have been



Broner has a lot of talent and is trying to figure how to market himself to bring in fans and doe....nothing wrong with that and the kid has balls to fight anyone near his size



Broner vs Postol, the guy who beat Amir Imam, Matthysse, Provodnikov, and Bud would be great and he has a shot to beat all them guys....I'd favor Bud clearly though.....Broner really needs go to the mayweathers if he is gonna use the shoulder roll, he only has like 70% of it down. He doesn't use enough upperbody movement, and doesn't roll his rear shoulder on to defend hooks....he should either use the textbook stance or go to a better trainer

Fair enough you like Broner, I consider Broner no better than a B- fighter at his best. That's just my personal take on the kid, I may be wrong he's got another ten or so years ahead of him if he can manage to get his head out of his own @ss but the kid is far from special in my estimation. Don't expect anyone else to agree with that, the moments his hand speed goes he's fked as far as i'm concerned but again I could be wrong.
