    He could have cherry picked. I actually thought after the Maidana debacle they should have built him up slowly. But that's on him and his life, his trainers should have known his skill set and picked opponents accordingly. And how hard is it to throw MORE PUNCHES??? I can't believe he hasn't done that more consistent!

      If you were better at boxing you would also have never lost.

        Just cause he took on every comer and lost EVERYTIME doesn't make him elite or gets him into the Hall of Fame!
        I get all that but he fought the best competition in their primes. Unlike many other fighters who fight shot, shopworn, low risk, high reward fighters who are diminished, on a decline and past their physical primes like the cherrypicker Danny Garcia.

          He's proven that he'll lose EVERYTIME he steps up to elite competition! That doesn't get him into the Hall of Fame!
          Two words, Arturo gatti. He's in. Credentials are less then broners. Again, i agree, he doesn't deserve it, just saying i wouldn't be surprised based on his credentials

            you can check boxrec anytime, that those were vacant titles for the most part and how many successful defenses did he have with those said titles ?? he is fortunate he has made some $$ but has done nothing to merit his inclusion to Canastota.

              Who did he fight for those belts again?

                Guy should just keep his mouth shut. He just sounds dumber every time he speaks.

                  Speculation persists regarding a potential Keith Thurman-Broner bout for Thurman’s WBA welterweight title. Broner also feels like he could move back down to 140 pounds for the right fight.

                  Whoa Keith vs Broner that's crazy!!

                    I get what you're saying but it takes more than just fighting top competition to be a Hall of Famer.
                    Danny Garcia isn't a Hall of Famer either.
                    I think it'll be very hard for Broner to get into the Hall of Fame cause aside from his record against top competition he isn't very well liked by the media and boxing experts.
                    The way he went off on Jim Gray after the Pacquiao fight was uncalled for and unacceptable!
                    He really is his own worst enemy...
