    Default Broner may not be Mayweather, but let's be fair....

    I feel like he gets bashed a lot because of his arrogance and constant comparison to Floyd. But if we pretend we never heard him talk, he's not all that bad a fighter. His only two losses came against great fighters in close fights. That being said, what do you think happens to him from this point on?

    Porter is not great...yet.

    Maidana is always an issue for any fighter(unless your first name is devon)

    Broner is a good fighter but there is s major blueprint to beat him..apply pressure.

    He can market himself very well but he needs to try changing trainer to improve on his flaws.

    Devon held on for his life against maidana, almost as much as the big klit

    Broner will capture this next belt and make alot of money fighting and beating the throwaways at 140.

    Expect him to back at 147 early 2017.

    Beaten by great fighters? That is funny, neither Porter or Maidens are great.

    Put Broner in with Brooks, Thurman or Khan and he will beat by more greats.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Its not arrogance that has me bashing him. That's just icing. The fact that hes young, undisciplined and unwilling to get better has me bashing him. He cant keep the weight off in between fights, he has speed and athleticism and still he insists on hiding behind that silly shoulder and waiting for someone to giftwrap a counter opportunity rather than moving his F'n feet. He has enough speed athleticism and reflexes to be more creative and avoid more punches in the ring, but like his idol, tries to get away with doing the bare minimum.

    *also the 2 losses dont include the people who think he lost to malignaggi.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    He doesn't want to be bothered with basics and fundamentals, and overrates his own speed, power, athleticism, etc. The press is probably as much to blame, since they're quick to anoint the "next great one", and can easily inflate the ego of someone with the fragile psyche of Broner.

    It's good it doesn't include the people that think he lost to Malignaggi because those people are dilusional. But a real good argument can be made that he lost to Ponce.

    As for him wasting his gifts, i agree entirely.

    Talking obvious bullshat and not being heard is the same thing I honestly never saw Broner good enough to get the "you just don't like him because he has a big mouth" pass. Its become its own punchline and came off empty act. You have to at least win one of your major showcase fights and back up the gimmick and hype..then you get the haters.

    You are right, Broner is his own worst enemy! He deserves it! How can you defend a guy who can't keep his mouth closed and much that comes out of it is arrogant hogwash.

    He is not even at the level of many of Mayweather's opponents. In fact you could make the case that he would be beaten by people not considered worthy to be in the ring with Floyd.

    Broner has issues with pressure and until he can deal with that with some kind of controlled offense he will continue to loose.
