I'm going to be positive about Broner

I disliked him before the fight...and i disliked him even more after the fight. He did so many things in this fight that where negative (the humping, the INSANE reaction to the headbutt, berating his corner, running out of the ring like a coward)...that i really can't give him props for just being "durable." He has MAJOR flaws in his game that where brushed aside because he was picking on smaller guys. Not sure how much of being an absolute asshole is good for boxing. Floyd is excessive sure...but Floyd is first and foremost a tremendous fighter. He paid his dues before he became "Money"...and even now...his craft is of utmost importance to him. Broner was trying to do a reverse Floyd....be brash without any of the foundation. That is why i think it will be hard for him to come back at a truly high level.

Well said.
Agree with everything you said. He seemed to believe his own hype and thought he was at the top of the sport after beating up small guys. Just because you act like a poor man's version of Floyd doesn't mean you are Floyd. He doesn't have the boxing brain that Floyd does, some times it seems that he doesn't have a brain at all the way he behaves.
