I don't care about his attitude etc. He's a cheesy gimmick stuck on stale punch lines, bit like a toddler throwing a fit in the middle of the store in order to draw an audience. He has some ability, but I really do think he's a flawed fighter in some regards and once someone forces him on his heels he can be sparked.

Welcome to the forum btw.
The fact that he could have been a 4 division champ if he had stopped at 140 does say a lot but he didn't invent the system and I it's just a fact he's not in his prime but he's still better than most boxers between 135-147 so it's unfair to call him a prospect.
Woulda-coulda. All it says is that he cherry picked a trinket from a guy who got beat up by Cano much worse. Lets not get it twisted. He skipped 140 cause it was more attainable with less of a threat, unless he wanted to pick the trinket off the bones of a destroyed Peterson. Who's says he is a 100 percent certainty over a Vazquez or Abril at 135?! Not me. He better "improve" quick and find a defense if he even dreams of 147 cause apparently his pop hasn't arrived from the trip up. I think all three beat him off his recent goes.
Did you consider Peterson ruined after he lost to Bradley? Vazquez is one of the best boxers in the world and Avril easily beat the guy who now has a Manny fight, people seem confused with Broner they overestimate him or think he's a bum.
After Bradley? Nah, he obviously bounced back albeit with a little extra 'boost'. The way Matthysse left him in a mashed heap though...time will tell. Broners not a bum, but broken down case for case I have yet to see anything spectacular. Right now his mouth has caused more havoc than his hands.
