    You're totally correct as far as his being in the convo claiming to be a 4 division champion. But I'll always maintain he isn't as bad as most try to say. He's a 2 division titlist who is 7-3 against world titlists and he did fight enough good guys across 5 divisions to be notable...

    And while he never reached #1 in any division, oddly enough RING Magazine did rank him #2 at some point in three divisions, albeit for very short stays and in divisions that were weak at the time; 126, 130, 135...

    You're correct though. His best wins are very weak relative to how somebody could try to promote his resume on paper if they were trying to do so.

    Good post.

    Though his haters typically know he's a solid top 10 135-147 fighter, we just diss the shiit out of him cuz it's so hard to give him credit. :yep

    Dude your tripping Donaire is a HOFer and an ATG fighter, you should check "The Flashes' resume.

    Both were coming off a loss and fighting for a joke WBA belt which already has another 140 champ.
    So Broner won 1/2 a belt last night :lol::patsch

    can't take it away from him, even if he won fights he didn't deserve to get in the first place
