    No

    Lost to Quintero and PDL

    Failed to impress against Paulie

    Lacks footwork and gets hit too much

    Chin status unknown: reported knockdowns in sparring - normally fights smaller men, possible small ***** syndrome

    If he fails to sign a fight with Maidana then he will have jumped his crashing hype train and will be called a cherry picker shortly.

    A guy with his mental disposition isn't going to handle losing very well...

    At this pace no. Fun to watch, but needs to step it up. No need to fight Malignaggi when Vasquez at,135 was THE challenge and breakthrough fight for Broner. Was actually a fan of this kid, but is one of the most classless fighters today and has been disappointing whenever he has stepped up vs world class veterans like Paulie and PDL. We'll see in 2-3 more yrs time to see if he really can change and get better. Most likely taking longer to approach his prime than other fighters. Would really like to see him face Gamboa, Vasquez, or Burns at least.

    No. maidana makes him quit or KO's him in a few months. Deal with it.

    Yes

    He did better ratings fighting Gavin Reese than Canelo vs Trout.:deal
    That should tell you something.

    Broner actually has the talent to back up the hype...plus there are lots of good fights to be made.

    Maidana got his slow ass whipped by Devon Alexander....deal with that.

    You don't struggle like that against Paulie if you got p4p#1 potential. Khan shut him out and stopped him. Id pick Terence Crawford to beat Broner at 135.

    no. unless his opponent is smaller and easy to hit, broner looks unimpressive.

    What struggle???????

    The only one struggling was Malinaggi:deal

    Broner has ONE fight at 135(championship)

    ZERO fights at 140

    And is a WW Champ at 23...that is amazing.
    We have this happening in our lifetime but instead of praise he gets hate.

    Broner isn't a runner so they call him flat-footed..if he were a runner they'd call him a chicken.

    You Broner haters are in for a long bumpy ride:deal.....better stock up on motion sickness pills....i suggest Dramamine.

    This kid is something special...the subtleties of his game go un-noticed.

    Broner is actually calling out the guys we want him to fight.:hi:

    We should be happy to have a young american Champion on the scene good enough to straddle 3 divisions.

    Broner vs Reese did better ratings than Canelo vs Trout:deal

    Somebody is watching him...

    Bullshi.t yourself all you want..the kid has the talent to back up the hype.

    He's getting paid already...PPV status is right around the corner.

    Broner vs Mathysse will surely be PPV...:deal

    wtf does that have to do with what i posted? zou shiming had over 300 million, thats right, million viewers tune in for him. it dont change the fact that neither him or broner are as good as his fans wish they were.
