I'll agree Broner is getting a little overhyped and hasn't fought anyone Paulie probably wouldn't have beaten, but you've also got to consider that it works the other way just as easily. Malignaggi has never won any of his big fights or beaten anyone Broner wouldn't have smoked as well. Watch Malignaggis last fight, he looked like absolute shit and clearly lost imo, against a guy who is obviously not on Broners level regardless of what you think about him. He was rocked and dropped hard by a really crude light hitter who pretty well entered the ring with a cut worthy of stopping the fight. This fight was handpicked as the path of least resistance to get Broner a strap at 147, it quite simply wouldn't have been made if people in the know thought Paulie had any kind of chance.
