    Broner’s cue action is terrible.

    Cue is elevated, stance not square enough, no distinguishing pause before delivering his follow through. The video we all saw in All Access was heavily edited - he more than likely lost that match.

    I’ve never seen Johnson play pool or indeed snooker but THAT is the true discernible difference between both cuegelists.

    If it’s so easy
    so if it’s so easy name me the other 4 divisions champs? You still got to beat the contender/champ in front of you. Manufactured or not.

    How about the great Australian boxer Lester Ellis, world titles from super feather to welterweight. Your probably wondering who he is like most people. He won the IBF super feather title in the 80's then won IBO and WBF titles at 3 other weights. Clearly he like Boner cherry picked his way to being a 4 weight champion aided as I said by the proliferation of titles.

    Or how about former Arturo Gatti victim Joey Gamache. You know he was a 4 weight world champion too. He was WBA super feather and light weight champion and then due to the proliferation of titles won titles at light welter and light middle.

    Titles are meaningless when there's so many of them at so many weights you can pick and choose the weakest title holders and become a multi-weight champion and still not fight an elite fighter.

    Kevin Blue Johnson also has way more swag.

    Other 4 weight champions (main 4 bodies only)

    Tommy Hearns
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Robert Duran
    Pernell Whitaker
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Leo Gamez
    Roy Jones Jr
    Floyd Mayweather Jr
    Manny Pacquiao
    Erik Morales
    Jorge Arce
    Nonito Donaire
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Miguel Cotto
    Adrien Broner
    Roman Gonzalez
    Mikey Garcia
    Donnie Nietes

    The battle for who was the worst is between Broner and Gamez. Gamez was the first to do 105-115, and it took 17 years until someone else bridged the same game.

    Thos is my point. If so easy why has this only been achieved by great fighters for the most part?

    If Kevin Johnson morphed with Wilder then he still wouldn't be as annoying or as boring as Broner.

    dangerousity is putting a hundredfold more effort into swerving an L for Broner than Broner himself did last night.

    It is not easy. It takes very good promotion to secure all of these vacant title fights against overmatched C level or worse opponents in 4 divisions. That is something unheard of.
