    He is a bit of a tit but then it will be much more fun when somebody smacks him clean in the mouth and puts him on his feathered fringe, shorts shaking arse

    Well, this is true. But that's what I follow Floyd for All kidding aside it's just cheap and transparent. More my problem is with the network. They are continually rushing sone guys to market and forcing the next flavor of the month. I've noticed it more and more with guys who are still so wet behind the ears, non established. When I started following the sport that platform was called ESPN or a commercial network. Broner doesn't even merit the skepticism yet, earn your spot! Even worse its spring boarded off what any fair minded fan would call a shoddy showing and arguable loss with Ponce Deleon! It's the Berto-ism of a fighter and I think HBO short changes the fans and at least in Bertos case convinces a young fighter he really is all that top notch and polished while he really has ignored and made mistakes a part of a routine. Honestly, I think Donaire is showing it as of late also. Sometimes too much exposure is a bad thing. Just fookin fight man, this ain't a comic book or pro wrestling where everyone has to be a character.
