Is Adrien Broner the worst 4 division champ of all time?

He did have a lot of potential but he squandered it all away.

 

You don't get to be a 4 division champ for nothing. He was amazing at the lower weights. That ******ed 2 weight division jump, from 135 to 147 really killed his career.

 

There's a lot of ****ing belts. It's not that hard today to get a strap.

 

Easily. Broner should've stay at lightweight. Before broner got whooped by maidana in his first lost? He barely beat a decline Paulie.

 

Is Broner now truly the lowest hanging fruit or what? It seems literally everything and everyone is shitting on this guy lately...

 

I wouldn’t go that far. Broner 6-7 years ago was a talented fighter with a ton of potential, but after the DeMarco fight started coasting and stopped improving and tried to get by on his natural abilities alone, which didn’t work.

After the Maidana fight Broner seemed to be content with doing good enough to get paydays, but at the same time not risk a knockout loss, since the Porter, Garcia, and PAC fights were all winnable fights for him, but in all three fights Broner showed up to survive and get a check.

 

Yeah. Broner won his belts off Vincente Martin Rodriguez, Antonio DeMarco, Paulie Malignaggi and Khabib Allakhverdiev. Who is even his best win? Pitiful record for a four weight world champion, he didn't prove himself the best in any of those divisions. It's a prime example of how devalued world titles have been in the alphabet era.

 

Regardless, he was really good at the lower weights, and to be honest she should have stayed there are unified or even become undisputed champion, this would have totally been possible. Even now, he is only 28 years old.

As things turned out, he is a guy that is around the 8-15th best at 147 and is sort of like a gatekeeper now. He is still making decent buck and is obviously making a nice living.

He could have had a much better career, but through his own fault it's not. With that said, his losses are to Maidana, Porter, Garcia and 40 year old Pac Man. So far he has not lost officially to poor opposition.

Its not too late, again the guy is only 28 years old. I hope he can get that spark back.

 

But but but but....Pacquiao beat the best Version of broner smh.<<<<According to Pacquiao fans.

 

Why you make this thread and then get so emotionally twisted in it? Rofl. He had potential but he wasn't like some ATG in the making. Refer to Kyrie's post above and get back to me with this post. He lost every big fight iirc. What do we call that, unfilled potential. Nowadays he gets fights with his loud mouth, lol.

 

If you’re built up well and have good connections/promoters/managers you can win belts in different divisions as there’s always normally always a chance to fight somebody useless for one. In broner’s case, he went up to welterweight and was found out by better fighters - he hasn’t lost to any bums but he’s probably lost the motivation to better himself now. He just wants to live the high life, good luck to him but can’t help but feel he’ll be broke in a few years...

 

Khabib Allakhverdiev was actually a pretty damned underrated fighter, to be fair. He was just really undersized for the weight. Similar situation to Shafikov in recent years.

 

With at least 4 belts per division to fight for, no, it's become a watered down feat.

 

All questions as to whether Broner is overrated, underrated or whatever are irrelevant here. All that matters in answering the question at hand is comparing him with each on the list of the rest of boxing's 4-division champs, which nobody has yet done...
