I think he likes those yes men to feed his fragile ego. Broner is one of these guys who knows it all and isn't going to change. He's as good as he's gonna be, which is pretty good, but not the best in the world.
This. He is just who he is. In terms of position in the annals of boxing history, he will be remembered as a Terry Norris or Iran Barkley kinda guy. A good guy who did a thing or two, but just a good guy around greats. Barkley beat Hearns twice, but so what? Terry Norris was a champion for a long while, but even in terms of Sugar Ray or even Mugabi OR EVEN Julian Jackson, Norris is just Norris- a guy we all fought!
Ok I'm calling blasphemy
. Broner couldn't even carry the hairbrush of Norris. He was a refined boxer puncher who beat solid opposition. Broner lacks essential discipline, basic how to conduct yourself and act like you belong in the room discipline on top of non development and he 'learned' his flaws and they became a part of his fight game. He's just not that good. Norris on the other hand had superb skills but his lack of discipline came when over reacting..hitting guys on the deck etc. His chin was checked more than a few times but the man was riding p4p rankings for quite some time.
... It did have a bit of Blasfamy to it, huh? But here me out before the stoning: "That we know (Norris is way better than Broner). But when next to Sugar Ray, Hearns, Duran, Mugabi, Jackson and a few others, Norris is just.... Norris. So too will Broner be. If that!
In fact, next to Mayweather, Garcia, Thurman, Maidana, and even, GASP, Amir Khan, Broner will be just.... Broner!
