I don't think terrible matchmaking has anything to do with it. Up to, and including, the Maidana fight...Broner was the heavy favorite against all the guys he faced. But you could see weaknesses in his game early. For all his physical talent...his defense was vastly overrated. Add to that his clear lack of discipline...and it was only a matter of time before he was exposed. Basically Broner wanted to be Floyd without having any of the foundation that Mayweather built before his "Money" persona. His handlers will feed him some B/C level talent to build him up again...but i am by no means confident in him being a great champion.
