Yes, You Can Bury Broner But...

Is this Larry alt? I was thinking that fool Larry is the only fangirl for broner.

Look, you are skating on thin ice mentioning vacant belts and strength of opposition.

Loma's first belt was a vacant title. Won over an untested Russell Jr. (who the jury IS STILL out on).

Russell Jr. was undefeated, had much more professional experience than Loma, and the latter was coming off a loss.

Loma's second belt came against a washed Rocky Martinez, who hasn't fought since.

Martinez beat the guy who beat Loma, had more experience on Loma than Russell Jr did, and was a world champion at the time.

And the third was against Linares, also well past his prime.

Linares had the most experience on Loma, was on a 13-fight win streak, picking up 2 world titles along the way, and was the #1 guy in the division when Mikey Garcia moved up. Also, Loma moved up in weight for him, so Linares had size and weight advantages on him, in addition to everything else. Linares wasn't well past his prime, Loma was just that much better than him.

Russell Jr. was undefeated, had much more professional experience than Loma, and the latter was coming off a loss.

Russell was undefeated because most of his opponents were named TBA, some less than a couple of weeks before his fights. And if you check where they are now, you will find a lot of them on milk cartons. Like all of Loma's wins, this is a good not great victory.

Martinez beat the guy who beat Loma, had more experience on Loma than Russell Jr did, and was a world champion at the time.

Martinez was coming off two back to back wars with Salido, the last one ending in a draw. Both men had seen better days. No telling what the two wars took out of Martinez, who would have been hard pressed on his best day to beat Loma. This win wasn't even as good as the Russell W.

Linares had the most experience on Loma, was on a 13-fight win streak, picking up 2 world titles along the way, and was the #1 guy in the division when Mikey Garcia moved up. Also, Loma moved up in weight for him, so Linares had size and weight advantages on him, in addition to everything else. Linares wasn't well past his prime, Loma was just that much better than him.

This is Loma's best win far and away and it is still not over a fighter anyone would have called "elite" when they met. Linares is a good fighter, often fun to watch, BUT HAS NEVER COME CLOSE TO MAKING A P4P LIST.

So yeah, Loma has a good but not great resume.

Next?

He can be involved in alot of fun matchups. I'd like to see Broner-Khan or Broner-Berto. Hell, he'd be a great tuneup opponent for Keith's return if he ever comes back.

[Madison Boxing]

all that does is prove that being a 'multi weight champion' really doesnt mean much.he never beat anyone of note and the same people hyping crawford for being 'multi weight champ' were the ones who were doing the same for broner and were so so sure that he was going to be the number 1 guy at welter weight and take over from floyd. you had people on here saying broner was gonna be fighter of the decade ffs, and people were agreeing!!! your eyes cant see ****!!!!!!! when are people gonna learn

Fangirl?

For telling the truth about what Broner has done in the ring?

Say whatever you like about his fuquery outside the ring and you will probably have a point.

But, inside the ropes...he did things accomplishment-wise that even Loma hasn't.

It's one thing to go up 9 pounds in 4 years.

Quite another to go up 17 pounds in a year and a half THEN go back down in weight to win a 4th title in a different weightclass in less than 4 years.

Say whatever you want about his personal life, but who else has done THAT IN THE RING?

He's pro longer than Loma, that's where your comparison dies.

Loma doesn't have a ATG resume but Broner neither... Broner lost to every good fight and had some questionable wins.

Both of them missed the chance to have a Pacquiao on their resume when the fight was offered.

Both ****** to turn it down.

[Sid-Knee]

Right now?

No.

But, one or two more wins vs a credible opponent and he get serious consideration.

Or, if he can pick off a champ at 154-which I seriously doubt- he gets in.

I find it ironic when you talk about Broner maybe having mental difficulties and that's why he behaves the way he does because after reading the complete nonsense you've just said in this thread, it's clear you have serious problems going on up top yourself.

Apart from Demarco, Broner has never beaten a good fighter. His 4 titles in 4 weights is way beyond worthless. So please don't compare him to Loma, you come off as insane.

As for Linares being way past prime... Hahahaha. Yeah, sure he is. Loon.

Well, lets take a look at who each guy beat for their belts.

Vasyl beat:

Gary Russell Jr for a vacant WBO featherweight title
Roman Martinez for the WBO jr lightweight title
Jorge Linarez for the WBA lightweight title

Adrien beat:

Vincente Martin Rodriguez for a vacant WBO superfeatherweight title
Antonio DeMarco for the WBC lightweight title
Paulie Malignaggi for the WBA welterweight title
(Carlos Molina for a vacant interim WBA superlightweight title)
Khabib Allakhverdiev for the WBA superlightweight title

Now all you have to do is see who each group of guys beat to determine who beat a higher grade of champion.

Bet the answers surprise you...
