    I genuinely don't think he'll make the HOF, regardless of how diluted it is.

      You guys are being too hard on Broner. I think he makes the hall. There are worse fighters than him in already, also he is a 4 div champ even if his resume is on the weaker side. And as others have said, he is not an ATG, but few HOFers are. Cotto(not trying to pick on him) is a HOFer, damn fine fighter, but he is not an ATG. Broner will be in a somewhat similar situation to Cotto.

        He's had nowhere near the career of Cotto.

        This is a mind-blowing thread.

          Not only is he a 4 division champion but he is the youngest in history to achieve it. He will be in the Hall Of Fame one day because of his world titles at four weight classes. Love it or hate it.
          Correction he is a 4 division title holder. Tell me without looking at Boxrec who he beat for each title. I know I can’t.

          Yes he had something promising in the beginning but once you start to peel back the layers of his career it reveals a lot of smoke and mirrors.

          Absolutely not a hall of famer.

            Cuz they dislike him and feel like he overrated.

            But going by who already in.... He should be in.

            Get over it!

              Broner has no business in the HOF. He started his career well beating up smaller fighters and won some paper titles but he lacks the discipline to be a top fighter at 140lbs and above and has lost every time he has been matched tough. So no HOF for the Problem.

                  Just because several guys who didn't deserve it have made it in over the years doesn't mean everyone of a similar level is a lock for the Hall. There's a lot more deserving guys who haven't made it in than undeserving guys who have made it in. And even more guys on the Gatti/Braddock/Willard level that haven't made it in. If they ran the Hall the way you guys are making out there would be over a thousand fighters in there right now.

                    Just a guess here but maybe just maybe it’s because he lost and lost badly to every single quality fighter he ever fought.

                      I am not saying that he had the career Cotto had, I just brought up Cotto as being a Hall Of Fame fighter, but not an all time great. I agree, I should have used somebody more comparable in career like Ray Mancini.
