I think he gets fair criticism for that by some for that moment in time but to others its over the top. And lets be clear right from the start, Broner could not carry Duran's jock itch. At 135 or any other weight and based on what Broner has done so far he will most likely go done in boxing history as an ink blot.He indeed had me fooled. And sure its pretty embarrassing for Duran to quit but at least he didn't put innocent people at risk by driving shit faced. In addition, anyone (not pointing the finger at you) who concludes on Duran's career as a complete work based on that one episode is a pin head of the highest order. Sadly the same thing would have happened to Floyd had he not fought Manny.
His domination of the sport for 15 years would be a footnote in the minds of many people.
Well it's not really fair to compare broner to Duran cause no one knows what broner might or might not go on to achieve in his career. Also I'm not interested in what any boxer does outside the ring but wasn't Duran famous for knocking out a horse and a woman with 1 punch both are pretty sickening if true. The problem for me with Duran quiting is because he was looked at as the toughest most macho boxer about and let's not beat about the bush boxing is a sport that you just don't quit in. That's my opinion on him, that one moment is what i will always remember him for and its a shame because he was a phenomenal fighter.
You are right its not fair to compare so why the need to even bring Duran up? Is it because someone has a handle with reference to Duran? So what? Duran did quit and has been shit on for 30 years over it. We are now talking about a different guy. A drunk behind the wheel and a video. This isn't about Ketchels bad ass ways or Monzon throwing his wife off a balcony. This is about Adrien Broner period.
Well when I came into the thread it had already got to Duran quiting so I just added my opinion that's all. Duran has been rightly so shit on for 30 years and no one should ever forget the cowardly act he did, if I was his promoter he would not of got payed a penny for that fight and I'm sure I remember reading his trainer was so disgusted with him he refused to ever work with Duran again.
He was lit but actually kept his head. Once he turned pouty sap in the back of the car the Cop started talking to him like a toddler. Honestly surprised he didn't go more into detail instead of "I'm a fighter". Expected him to pull out one of Mayweathers T shirts and wave it around. He's lucky though, she was talking him up into an arrest before he even completed the first walk on line.
Joke Calzhage can't carry the jock itch of many a fighter...but that trash is still called great,so don't get all offended by Broner and Duran mentioned together.
I'm sure Duran has driven drunk before...and lots of other shit far worse.
Duran is not the subject you should use while comdeming the behavior of anybody,much less Broner.
