Why is Broner criticized yet GGG praised?

[bojangles1987]

Broner hasn't beaten much better fighters than Golovkin has. Who gives a **** how many divisions he ate himself up to or what paper belts fighters had?

I don't understand why people give fighters like Broner so much credit for moving up, as if he was doing so to challenge himself. No, he was huge and couldn't make lower weights any longer. And he ****ed over a couple fighters by coming in heavy. Why does that deserve credit? He had no choice but to move up.

Broner's critisized, and rightfully so, because Broner's an idiotic a$$hole

[Derranged]

GGG has been criticized and gets criticized on a daily basis. Broner also gets plenty of praise so I'm not sure what you're going on about. Lay off the fuckin bathsalts Larry because they're turnin ya mind inta mush ya heah me?!

Thank you for posting that video. Reminded me of how much of a punk Broner really is and was during that fight. De****able so-called fighter who received a well deserved beat down by Maidana. Bravo.

I don't think many people put much stock into his multi divisional titles since he beat one credible champion in DeMarco. The others were good opportunities he got lined up by having a great manager on his side (vacant 130 title against Vicente Rodriguez, vacant 140 title against Carlos Molina, another vacant title at 140 against Khabib Allakhverdiev). Paulie was a legit win, but many thought he lost against Cano the fight prior and was obviously the worst 147 champ. He gets credit for fighting Maidana and Porter though, even if he lost he shows some heart.

It's obvious he got hate because he was crowning himself the next Mayweather without doing anything yet, saying he would be the next PPV king, billionaire etc etc and then got exposed. But since now he's lost a couple times and the hype died down, I think the good thing is we can all just now appreciate him for what he is - an entertaining clown with some decent skills that can be in some entertaining fights. Because of his personality he'll always be a good draw I think, win or lose.

Say what you want about the Jacobs-GGG fiasco, but humble respectful fighters like Jacobs, Thurman and Porter need to be praised in the place of scum like Broner.

Why certain people choose to get behind someone like Broner and not Jacobs is beyond me

Broner is 26 and is 5-2 against current or former world champions and has won titles in 4 different divisions....GGG is 34 and only 3-0 against current or former world champions and thats in 1 division....Please explain

without a doubt in my mind Broner is the more accomplished fighter, he a 4 weight champ, enough said

Thing is Golovkin haters (Larry and realpugilist especially) love to say "Broner moved up 4 divisions, why can't Golovkin move up one?" as if Broner was moving up to prove something. It drives me crazy.

Broner was way too big for those lower divisions and stayed there until he absolutely could not. Why does that deserve credit? I also don't understand why people give him credit for fighting good fighters, as if Golovkin is turning down the Maidanas and Porters at MW rather than the other way around. And let's not forget Broner not only fought Porter at a catchweight, he tried to impose a rehydration limit too, but scrapped it because he was too big to make it himself.

There are fighters you could use to argue against Golovkin, but why they insist on using Broner I don't know. He is not some example of taking on big challenges that puts Golovkin to shame. Ward moving up to fight Kovalev, that is a good example. Stick to that, Golovkin haters.

Because they're idiots. You logically laid it out and next week they'll make the same thread.
