Broner deserves some respect.
Like him or not he deserves quite a bit of respect.
He could have easily stayed at the lightweight divisions and dominated, hold all belts and stayed undefeated.
Instead he made the jump up in weights to a class he clearly isn't suited to and aimed for the big fights against bigger named opponents than he would have fought at lower weights.
It is refereshing to see someone look for the fights that we'd rather see, even if it puts them at a disadvantage. Especially considering how many fighters duck tough fights and fighters who are fed bums on their way to a world title shot nowadays.
So yeah, I don't like broner due to his attitude and I'm very happy he is losing fights, but credit where it's due he is aiming high and it's a nice change to see imho.

He threw a beautiful left hook in that 12th round

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
Broner was too lazy to make lightweight and greedy for the money at the higher weights which equals being a gatekeeper. How can anyone respect that? Browner is a Prat.

Isn't it racist to refer to him as "BROWNer" ??? wtf??? :o

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
He's a big, strong guy with enormous talent, and he's also tough as nails.
That said he just seems to lack the extra gear where he can adjust and pull out the win. But he needs to be given credit for taking tough fights, Maidana and Porter were horrible matches for him stylistically but he freely took them, I think Maidana was even his choice against his promoter's wishes.
-
Hard to respect wasted talent because he is lazy outside the ring which has an effect in the ring. Plus he is an asshole. But I agree, so many fighters take the easy fights and he did search out challenges and that should be saluted.

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
Broner threw fuck-all for 45 seconds at a time, then locked his arms into PORTER like an octopus.
Broner is a lil' wanna-be gangstaboy who sucks Floyd's 3 inch cock each night with a smile.

Broners problem is not body weight. His problem is brain weight.

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
Yeah I think he's got the weight for WW for sure. And he's obviously got the power, judging by that left hook he landed in the 12th.
He has to figure out his winning style. When he was just standing in front of guys in that shell and letting them tee off, that's not a winning style. Even though he was winning, it was a cause for concern. Floyd, James Toney, Hopkins, Locche, and other guys who used the shell defence never did that shit. I knew Maidana was trouble for him because you just can't fight that way against a two handed bomber like that.

Agreed and that freakish wide stance of his. Not sure why he has not closed that some. Any side movement or lateral work nullifies it. Its all well and good when you are fighting in the 130's and outweighing your opponent by 20 pounds and in seek and destroy mode inching forward.

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
To get respect you have to give some, sorry but Broner is no class type of person he has some
boxing skills, but as life skills go ZERO.
-
Re: Broner deserves some respect.
I agree he is a proper tosspot.
But in respect to moving up and getting involved with the bigger names, while other fighters duck and avoid people likethe plague, it is nice to see.

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
He's a cunt that can't make lightweight. Cunt can't even make light welterweight so he tried to drag a welterweight down and it back fired. It was a bitch move so Fuck him. He deserves absolutely no props at all.
Fuckin weird views I'm seeing. Wonky as wily. First everyone wants him beat, then it's all "Oh but Porter was so rough, poor Broner, if but maybe" bullshit! Porter is the bigger man and he handled the fight accordingly. Ya duh he got hit with shots, that's the whole reason he was at a crossroads in the first place ffs, where is the perspective at with some of you? Up broners arse hole that's where! Fuck off up his arse whole and take a spare hair brush with you!

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
^ pretty much what I was just thinking right there. I this real life? Broner is what Broner is..not this 'if only' stuff. Has it ever occurred that he was never as good as not only himself but so many that bought in made him out to be in the first place??? His gimmick has outrun his ability. Its that simple. If anything he gets and merits less respect because he had so much available and near handed to hit and he showed up a unprofessional spoiled fat twat.
-
Re: Broner deserves some respect.
Every fighter who steps in the ring deserves respect. But Broner as a human being is an absolute waste of humanity.
-
Re: Broner deserves some respect.
I give Broner respect because his two loses were against strong ass fighter who rushes hard with a crazy work rate!!! Shit Mayweather wont even fight PORTER but Broner did so we cant take anything from him. But Broner kicks his own ass with all that drinking and DUI's and shit. Broner doesn't have a high punch output and doesn't seem like an Elite fighter!!! He's starting to remind me of Zab Judah lol. If he punched as much as he talked he'd still be undefeated. I cannot see Broner beating anyone @147 in the top ten. He's a MAYWEATHER WANNA BE.
-
Re: Broner deserves some respect.
I don't think broner deserves much respect at all and he's moving to 147 because he's struggling to make weight and it's probably because he's not dedicated enough. I think he's wants to be the no1 superstar of boxing and party like its 1999 and those to things just don't mix well it's one or the other.

So far from the replies, no one has read the opening post.
I HATE Broner and I would be happy if he was shot dead tonight.
But my point is that ....... In fact why waste my time no one on this website recently seems to have the ability to read and react accordingly.

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
I have to disagree with OP. Broner left the lightweight division because he couldn't make weight, not because he was trying to give the fans the fights we want to see. Now when you say he could have cleared out the lightweight divisions with an "s" I am going to assume you are referring to super lightweight which some people refer to as junior welterweight and if that is the case I have to disagree with that as well. You think Broner would have dominated the likes of Garcia, Matthysse, Peterson, Crawford, etc? And I think Garcia, Peterson, Matthysse are bigger names than Shawn Porter and they contend at a weight division lower than Broner is fighting at now.
And Broner didn't start out fighting top welterweights, he started out his career being spoon fed the same type of opponents most superstar athletes get on their way up. Before he fought Ponce De Leon for the title, you would be hard pressed to find someone who thought a previous opponent even had a remote chance of winning their fight with him.
His braggadocio attitude doesn't bother me that much because I don't watch pre fight build up or blogs so I don't get to see it that much. But I know that if he wants people to continue to buy into that, he is going to have to start winning against some big names. I mean he has a lost to Maidana, three "W" over lightly regarded opponents, followed by a loss to Porter. If you didn't know I was talking about Broner, you would swear I was talking about a journeyman or some division gatekeeper but definitely not someone who thinks they are the second coming of Floyd Mayweather.

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
No one likes the OP, which is why we all have not read his post and disagree with him. :)

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
I understood what the opportunity V was getting at and it is not without merit. There are somethings I like about Broner. I still haven't watched the Porter fight which I will tomorrow but in the fight prior Broner actually impressed me a bit. He looked so much better laying off the Floyd shoulder row. I truly resented Broners clowning around against Maidana and looking for the DQ but I agree he has been taking on decent fights as of late so I can't say all negatives against him.

May many many more come....;D

Stupid thing to say.
I wish death on no one apart from child molesters etc
We can all agree he can be a complete arsehole but thats all part of the image that sells tickets!
Broner is not the next best thing...once floyd leaves its andre ward.

Broner couldn't even hang with Maidana...Erik Morales did, khan did better.

It's refreshing to see the bad guy lose.

Broner aims to disrespect his opponents, the very ones he can't beat.
Post read and answered accordingly.

Re: Broner deserves some respect.
Broner is such an asshole; if Mayorga could make weight he'd be the crowd favorite.
