The Malignaggi fight alone should have told him to feel his way into the division first or maybe take a hint from the fact that Malignaggi found him so easy to hit.
Broner reminds me far more of Andre Berto than Floyd Mayweather and that isn't a sign of greatness.
nor did Frazier need brain surgery, and he was shot to hell after Foreman.
Miles is right on--Broner is a mentalmidget dying to copy he Mayweather. Only he is no Mayweather. He is a posing, posturing clown who has zero talent. Nor wil he be back in the ring. Adran Bone-Head will never again be back in th ring, OR he will be a washed-out version
After Frazier Foreman 1, Frazier went on to KO Jerry Quarry and Jimmy Ellis. Not to mention 2 of the greatest fights of all time with Ali. He wasn't washed up in any of those fights.
By the time he fought Foreman again he was 32 years old and for fighters with Fraziers style that's considered old.
I cant sit here and say the Maidana loss will or will not negatively effect Broners career. There has been many fighters who have received good beatings and not been the same.
I can say he showed a true fighters spirit while recievng the beating. He got up, kept fighting and had winning on his mind the whole time. He didn't seem to break imo.
And Broner didn't get beat up that bad. Sure he got beat on but it wasn't horrible. (I will go back and watch again)
I do agree that he tries to fight like Floyd to much. He doesn't just use the philly, he tries to use just like Floyd.
