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!
I might be missing something, definitely wouldn't be the first time, but can't really fault Norris for missing guys he wasn't around for at respected weight no? Don't think Mugabi is among them but Norris did destroy him to claim his 1st strap. In fairness and at a stretch with Leonard being past it..Norris did white wash him also. A fight that Norris was actually the underdog for if I remember right and said he hated having to beat Leonard like that. Now Jackson..hey no shame in being removed from your senses by on of the purest punchers to date.

In top form Norris wasn't just there at 154 and falling short ala Broner when talking Mayweather, Garcia, Thurman or Maidana. Norris beat some top fellow champions and he was also blitzing a couple current 147 champions. When they ask Broner what his best win was he'll mumble 'DeMarco, Deleon and maybe Paulie' depending where the judges were sitting.
