    Santa Cruz? I'm sure there are others worse, but Broner and Santa Cruz are both big examples of how being a "multiple division champion" can mean nothing.

        If he is really serious about this move to 147, then this will be his chance to really cement himself. He needs to take them all out, starting with fighting Porter regardless if he beats Thurman or not.
        Porter embarrassed Broner for 11 rounds besides the flash knockdown, highly doubt Broner ever goes for a rematch.

          Saying that though, his resume for a 26yo isnt really that bad in terms of competition fought. Guys like Maidana, Porter, Demarco, De Leon are/were solid world level guys when he fought them. Then theres fringe world level fighters like Malignaggi, Rees, Allakhverdiev, Molina and probably a couple others.

          But you are right, in comparison to his supposed achievements, his resume and performances have been terrible. A poster boy for how to maneuver in boxings chaotic structure
          He looked spectacular against DeMarco. I never thought he looked like Floyd but he looked a lot like Toney in that fight. But then Gavin Rees came after that, a joke match-up where he didn't look great. And then the Paulie cherry-pick.

            Well he needs to. He needs to avenge that loss.

            You can not walk into Porters division and not fight him after he embarrassed you like that.

                Leo Santa Cruz doesnt have the talent of Broner

                Duke McKenzie was Meh

                Iran Barkley had hearns number but lost to almost all the top fighters he faced

                Koki kameda is a good fighter but his resume is no better than Broner's.

                Kazuto Ioka isnt awesome

                  For sure. That fight had me thinking that Maidana was made for him lol.

                  A prediction that I would like to forget

                    Porter would embarrass Broner worse then before if its at a proper 147 and not a 144 cw

                      Broner is one of the weaker multiple weight champs ever that's for sure. But I got to say Robert Guerrero is right up there with him too. Guerrero a 3 weight champ but besides Berto, who shouldn't have been a champ when they fought(boxing politics), who did Guerrero beat?
