    Yet another non performance by No Problem Broner. He’s overstayed his welcome and he’s lucky to have that nice paycheck. Can we finally get this clown out of the sport, or at least feed him to killers like Crawford or Spence just so they can officially end him? Tired of seeing this boy embarrass himself.

    Broner is incredible at what he does, making the world hate him and I will keep watching his fights to see him get badly beaten

    I don't even care to see him knocked out, I just don't want to see him boxing again. He is boring as a fighter and boring when talking about how great he is. He is the opposite of a guy like Marvin Hagler who used to say I will let these speak for me. This is K and this is O.

    How is he incredible at this? If he came to fight that would mean more. I don't want to see him in the ring again. He is the antithesis of the great fighters I admired. Hagler and Hearns. Leonard. Whitaker.

    The problem ( no pun intended) with that is you’re pretty much supporting this guy to keep getting paid more by being a punching bag when he doesn’t deserve any of that anymore. I hope this is the last we see of him. But sadly I think he’ll be back soon.

    He's still top 10 WW IMO. The WW division is stacked which says a lot. I put Pac top 5 WW, so Broner is not good enough against the likes of Spence, crawford, garcia, thurman, pac, danny, porter - outside of that it starts becoming even fights. Khan, Vargas, Ugas etc.

    If he is top 10 boxing really is at low point.

    I’ll TUNE IN to his inevitable court appearance for whatever asinine crime he commits in the near future. That’s it.

    He’s been completely defeated as a boxer.

    They're good prospects but I'm waiting for them to step up. To tell what level they're on we need them to fight someone who has an established level, i.e Danny is a solid B level fighter. Lets see how they do against Danny. Or perhaps an opponent of an established level fighter, so if they're beating a bunch of guys more impressive than another B level fighter beat them for example, we can see what level they're on relative to those guys.

    They're unproven. At least we know where Khan, Vargas and Broner are. Just below the elites but blowing away the C levels of the world. Like Khan beat guys liek algeiri and blow away guys like Collazo.

    So yea, still top 10. And he would be the favourite against anyone outside the top 10 if you were a betting man.

    Name your top 15 WW and tell me who in the 11-15 range would be favoured over him in the betting odds?

    If he fights on for long enough he gets knocked out, its inevitable. His defence is purely based on being in a defensive mindset all fight and reflexes. That slows as you get older, as does your punch resistance.

    He is a good trial horse for up and comers, and still a big name so its definitely not time for him to retire. Alot of up and comers will come unstuck against him.
