90% of those fighters don’t spend their time erroneously bragging about being the best blah blah ....
Boxing savants don’t hate, they call out facts. For all The lofty expectations and bragging Broner set for himself his career has been garbage. Before he hit 30, he was reduced to a perennial gate keeper.

Look at his last 6 opponents. He keeps getting beat or fighting bums.

That's the problem with fans nowadays, why do we care so much what fighters do or say outside of the ring? Besides, most of it is fake, only does it to remain relevant. Without the personality, he'd be unknown. It's the reason why he keeps landing main events and big fights. I think Boo Boo Andrade is ine of the best talent in boxing, yet his name is not known outside of hardcore boxing fans. Why? Cuz he has no personality.

Any time he's ever stepped up competition even in the slightest he loses badly...

C+ fighter B- on his best nights

For the millionth time, if it's so easy, why is he the YOUNGEST 4 DIV CHAMP EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT? I'm not here to discuss resume, just stating his accomplishments.

[chepboxingking]

Being a 4 division champ in a 17 weight class , 6 belt era(wba, wbc) really isn’t that much of an accomplishment as it is promoted.

Everytime he became champ, he won a main title, none of the secondary bs that's going around now. Jumped from 135 to 147 to win a title.

If Broner is one of the best that ever laced up a pair of gloves, Mikey must be up there with the boxing Gods. He kicked the living sh.. out of adrien

And you forgot to mention Maidana! Imagine the God that makes him. Especially after making AB do the chicken dance!

[STREET CLEANER]

That weight problem is all on him.

If he gets beaten by an unknown it is over for him.

[whollisboxing]

lol exactly. Broner has exactly 0 good wins on his resume.

I think Antonio DeMarco was a good win at 135. Other than that I understand the criticism of his resume.

Broner won ACTUAL titles, not those secondary bs. If it's so easy to do, why aren't more fighters managed the same way so they can achieve similar goals?

There are more belts in each weight class than ever before. There are more multi-weight champions. It's not impressive when his best win is against old Paulie. He's a paper champ. You can't deny that every time he stepped up, he lost. Draw with Jessie Vargas? He's been carefully managed. His Super Featherweight and Jr Welterweight titles were vacant when he fought for them. That means he didn't beat a champion for them. PAPER.

More belts than ever before doesn't apply here! He won a MAJOR BELT IN EACH WEIGHT CLASS (WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO) not one of those bs belts or interim one. And im not arguing his resume, i know its trash, just stating he's accomplished a ton and fans like you want to ignore that. Youngest ever to become 4div champ is a big deal

It's not like he went up to fight the consensus top guy like Thomas Hearns did when he fought and beat Virgil Hill. Broner collected vacant paper titles. It's marketing, not greatness. His promoter deserves the credit for steering him towards the weakest opposition.
