Do we agree, and admit, that we overrated Adrian Broner?

Is that really such a big deal?

I don't know, is it? Name ONE guy you'd pick to go up two weight classes right now and beat a champ at that weight.

There are currently around 80 belt holders. Name them and I'm pretty sure we'll find several fighters that could step up two weight classes.

Id say Flloyd could jump up to super middle and beat Bika. So could Alvarez

Call me a prick, and I'm sure many of you have in the past, but I actually thought Paulie boxed as well as, if not better, than Broner. Broner won the fight (on my card by a round), which was close by the way, on his power.

I also thought Paulie laid the blueprint on how to beat Broner. It's pretty simple: Move and jab to the body. Until Broner learns to throw a jab, moving laterally keeps him off balance and unable to get off his punches. He stalked Paulie, but rarely could tee off on Paulie, like he had with Rees and DeMarco. In fact, how many combinations did Broner throw?

His defense and his counter right hand are pretty much what Broner brings to the table.

I think to be fair we have to take into consideration that Broner is only 23. I 100% get that. The problem is that the boxing media, Ring Magazine especially, considered him the second coming, which we now know, is clearly not the case.

The other part of it is that Broner himself believes he is the second coming. Even after the fight, he continued to say, I'll fight anyone, but not Floyd because they are buddies. Man, if Paulie Malignaggi gave you problems, you don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breadth as Floyd Mayweather. You're not facing Floyd because you don't deserve the fight.

How many other people agree that Devon Alexander would box Broner's ears off?

I actually think Maidana is the kind of fighter that Broner might do well against, assuming he can take Maidana's punching power, which by the way, I still don't completely think has translated at 147 on the same level as it did at 40.

Sorry for the rant, Gentlemen, but I am rant-catrat.

I think Alexander could easily outbox him too but it could be another Randall Bailey fight. I'd rather eat my own eyes than watch that again.
