If he wasn't an absolute tool how highly would you rate broner ?

100%, it's not because I don't like him as a person that I dislike him, it's more to do with the robberies.

 

I would rate him the same. Maidana owned that a r s e. Broner has always been a little over rated to me. I don't think he would have beaten Crawford looking at the way Gavin Rees, was touching him up in their fight.

 

Who has he actually beat?

He should be beating the likes of paulie and maidana comfortabley

 

After seeing a recent pic of him I have doubts he can make 140

 

Very good SFW, very good LW, fringe world level LWW, fringe world level WW.

 

Crawford beats Broner.

 

i went to the khan vs devon fight...met and talked to over 10 fighters, and even talked to don king for a bit and took a pic....out of everyone there...broner was the only one that acted like a straight *******.....straight up idiot

 

Not very high

 

top 10 @ 135 and 140...doesnt break top 20 @ 147

 

should never have been anywhere near any lb for lb list, and never will be again.

 

Same as I rate him now, purely because i ignore the bull****

Broner has some good fundamentals, very fast hands and to some extent a decent amount of power

however most of his career defining wins have come at the lower weights where he obviously drained himself for the size advantage otherwise he wouldnt have moved up in weight so fast (not to mention failing to make weight)

I was honestly intrigued with Broner early on but the size advantages he held at 130 put me off and then i was starting to come around when he was at 135 until he fought Gavin Rees . . . . whilst Rees was way too small (a mere 5'4) he showed how easy it was to tag Broner with shots proving that Broner was a far shout away from being the next floyd

Then against Malignaggi the only thing going in Broners favour was his ability to walk through Paulies shots to land something big but overall I thought Paulie outworked him and was robbed of a decision

Finally we have the Maidana fight where Broner was dominated bar the rounds where Chino seemed to be taking his foot off the gas not to gas out but in the 8th round where Broner was knocked down he immediately held onto both arms of Maidana and then when Maidana pulls free Broner immediately tried for a DQ win and when that didnt work he ran out of the ring after hearing he didnt get the robbery this time around

his last two fights show the level he is at, and at 140/147 where he doesnt have the weight advantage he had at 130/135 he will not be anything more than slightly above journeyman level

147 - Mayweather, Pacquiao, Brook, Thurman, Maidana, Khan, Karass, Alexander, Bradley, Rios, Alvarado, Marquez
140 - Garcia, Peterson, Vargas, Algieri, Provodnikov, Matthysse, Postol

Honestly Broner just seems to be waiting on for Garcia to vacate but even then the organisations dont seem to favour him

WBC - #1 Postol #2 Matthyse #3
WBA - #1 Mauricio Herrera / Jose Benavidez #2 Thomas Dulorme
WBO - #1 Lucas Matthysse #2 Ruslan Provodnikov
IBF - Champion = Lamont Peterson #1 Cesar Rene Cuenca

Be honest how many of those fights do you see Broner actually winning? he obviously wont win another title at 147 and 140 is packed full of fighters much better than Emmanuel Taylor

 

"monumental bellend"!:good

 

the look on his face in that ambulance van was priceless
