People don't 'hate' Broner they hate the fact that hes being prematurley annointed in the same mention as proven greats and Champions. Fact is, hes absolutley nothing like Floyd in the ring and even his 'look at me I'm a bad guy' act is forced. "He was tough as a steak".. He can't even get the punchline right. Its a $2 steak Adrien. His act is so transparent that it doesn't come of as real. Haymon needs to get a new writer.

Totally agree with Broner's "bad boy act" looking forced.
It's like a bad standup comedian, and nothing but a few crickets greeting every bad joke.

But HBO isn't alone in doing the "premature annointing".
I haven't exactly heard Broner say he doesn't belong up there yet.

And therein lies the danger. He's becoming so full of himself, he's bound to start underestimating future opponents (if he's not doing so already).... and eventually will get dumped on his ass by one of them. Personally, I like watching him fight. I like his aggresiveness.
