    broner does not have the footwork, work rate nor the one punch power to be an all time great because from here on out hell be fighting guys his own size.

    both the pauli and maidana fights are good indications on how the career of adrian broner will evolve.

    Koki Kameda did it when he was younger than Broner. He not an ATG is he?

    Plus unlike Broner he won his first 2 fights in the new weight class.

    but they succeeded...

    there is probably alot of guys who tried jumping weights and lost but became forgotten.

    broner weighed in at 144 vs maidana with his tennis shoes on and they were probably soaking wet.

    im not searching through boxrec for unknowns jumping weights. I bet theres loads around welterweight that were fed to named fighters though.

    One none ATG fighter?

    What about all the guys that moved up just one division in the olden days, which is comparable to what Broner did and lost like Broner did. Get real.

    I would say its not how many belts you can collect, especially in the era of *******jack titles, but rather who yiu beat to get them and how long you hold them. Broner does not have all that stellar a list of opponents yet, but give it time and he may impress
