    Sho you right,and check this out, in his last three fights he was so dominate in his performance that the opposing corner threw in the towel ( not the ref ). I ain't never seen no **** like that in three consecutive fights.:bbb

    You're so childish.

    You interpret everything through this sad 'haterz' perspective where people only criticise you if they hate you. Someone starts a thread about how often he gets hit and your reaction is 'so what he won in 5 rounds . . .'

    How about people simply being boxing fans, he's one of the most exciting fighters in the sport at the moment and is being marketed as the future face of boxing, and people are simply assessing his strengths and weaknesses, as well as his performances. After all, this is boxing forum is it not?

    The truth is Broner has chosen to market himself as aloof, brash and cocky. He has done this to draw attention, make a name for himself and get people talking about him. That's working, and people are talking about how much of a dick he acts, exactly as he wants. No one can complain about that when it's clear it's what he wants.

    Also.... 'picking against him and then discredit him'

    :lol:

    How many fights in his last 5 did most people really pick against him in :lol: He was the overwhelming favorite in almost every recent fight outside of the Demarco one, in which, he was still the heavy favorite with boxing heads.

    This whole idea that hes overcoming odds and people just discredit his achievements is laughable.

    The hype and butthurt reaction is much worse.

    Bingo. This is the entire point of discussion, talking about strengths and weaknesses. And any backlash Broner gets for marketing himself as the cockiest guy in the sport is simply part of the equation.

    Donaire probably wins. Donaire struggles with fighters with hih guards and good jabs. Dont know if Rigo is active enough to make Donaire think which is Donaires weakness.

    Yep. I had an avatar bet with cash. He pussied out after the fact but quite a few thought Demarco would trouble him and could even pu of the upset.

    I find the reaction of his fanboys more amusing.

    Fighter markets himself as a bit of an idiot.

    Boxing fans express views that he's a bit of an idiot.

    Fanboys start crying about people thinking he's an idiot.

    160 is bull****. Mathhysse looked like he always does and people are saying he weighs the same as Alvarez, Martinez and Golovkin (165-167).
    Broner weighs 150 and so do most guys at 140.

    because I stop reading your post as soon as I read the word Floyd because I know what you're going to ask is irrelevant
