Did Maidana ruin Broner or is Broner just a massive hypejob?

    Crawford is a better fighter than Broner. When Crawford finally stepped up and fought his first B level opponent in Postol he outboxed him easily. Was it boring as hell? Yea, but can't deny the win.

    This. His talent got him far, but his lack of work ethic caught up to him. He overlooked Maidana and got beat around the ring for it. The Porter fight was a great opportunity to redeem himself a he waisted it. He seems content to do the bare minimum and that won't cut it at the elite level.

    Ledwaba was never elite. He was a very solid B level fighter like a Porter, Maidana, Postol, Pascal, Jacobs, etc.

    Broner gets wrecked by even the B level competition.

    Wouldn't call him a MASSIVE hype job, but he was a little overrated and Maidana showed everybody that. Broner, as annoying as he is, is a good boxer, just not great.

    Yes I mention him when discussing the totality of Pacquiao's resume. Because a win over a B level opponent is a good quality win.

    Now, this thread about the ass whooping that Broner received from Marcos Maidana. Please, STFU about Pacquiao.

    Broner is a good fighter, but he's just not on Crawford's level.

    Yes, I actually believe Ledwaba was faster than Manny too. Again, the thread is about Broner and what Maidana did to him. STFU about Pac in this thread.

    He's one of the biggest hypejobs of all time, more than massive.

    AB is talented in my eyes . He has his flaws doe , every fighter does .
    I don't think Maidana ruined Broner , it doesn't look like he's declined at all . He still looks and performs the exact same way . AB will never be elite , that's for sure .

    Broners demolition of Demarco was his peak.
