Why do people hate Broner, yet love Rios?

    People on hear hate on Broner fanatically for all sorts of reasons, but speak of Rios as if he's boxing royalty.

    Let's take a look at some of the reasons people hate on Broner:

    1) Level of competition:

    People say Broner is avoiding threats, yet he has fought quite a few former or current world champs, and will be doing so tomorrow night. De Leon, Demarco, Rees, and Malinaggi are all title worthy fighters, yet he gets called a cherry picker.

    Meanwhile Rios fights B and C level fighters like Alvarado, Abril, Acosta, and Antillion and is hailed as a future superstar of the sport. It makes no sense whatsoever.

    2) Gift Decisions:

    People constantly point to the Deleon fight with broner as type of horrible robbery, and blame Broner for the judges decision for what was a competitive fight with a former world champ.

    Yet Rios struggles MIGHTILY with Richard Abril and is handed an ungodly decision, but this gets swept under the rug. People say "Abril didnt come to fight" to hide the fact that Abril completely outboxed Rios going away.

    And then, Rios LOSES to the slow, plodding Alvarado who hurt him several times in their second fight and exposed that Rios has some serious stylistic deficiencies that will hinder him with anyone who knows how to box even a little bit.

    3) coming in overweight

    Broner came in heavy against Escobedo, and yes, it was not right at all. But he paid Escobedo and the fight went on. He promptly moved up afterwards to light weight to avoid this happening again. He gets crucified for it in the media and on ESB.

    Rios came in heavy, not once, but TWICE against 2 different opponents. He did against Murray, and then instead of moving up and taking a bigger risk against bigger men, he failed to make 135 AGAIN against Abril, and needed the judges to bail him out. Nobody on ESB said anything, and it was just written off as "oh he's young, he's growing, blah blah blah".

    4) Broner talks too much:

    Yes, Broner talks alot of trash, and is very flashy. People on here hate him for this saying he's a clown etc.

    Rios, on the other hand, calls himself a class clown, constantly talks trash to opponents and prospective opponents (including Broner), curses during interviews, and was taped making fun of a parkinson's sufferer by shaking and clowning Freddie Roach, beloved legendary trainer. Broner has done some crazy ****, but NOTHING as low as that. Again, ESB and the media say nothing.

    5) Al haymon:

    People say that Broner is being "protected" by Al Haymon. But Rios is being "developed" by Bob Arum.

    See the double standard there?

    Dont hand me this **** about Rios being exciting. Having limited skill and no defense will only get you so far, and Broner fights in a very offensive exciting style as well. But Broner has much more skill on display, and is not just a walking punching bag like Rios.

    So why all the hate for Broner, yet unwavering devotion to Rios? Especially since, style wise, Broner would own Rios horribly if they ever fought?:think

    Alvarado is better then any one broner has fought so far.

    Broner is better and more talented then Rios and would favor broner over Rios if my money was on it but would rather see broner get k.o.

    Broner is hated because he thinks he's Floyd and acts as if he's sealed his legacy. He's a total Jack ass and acts like a idiot. Rios also has his moments but not as bad as broner.


    That's why.

    Alvarado is a C class fighter, just like Rios.

    Broner has never done anything as bad a make fun of an ailing boxing legend.

    Not even Broner sunk as low as making fun of a man with a permanent neurological disorder, sorry but it doesn't get much worse then that.

    Not defending Rios at all, question is why is broner disliked more then Rios. Rios deserves the ass beating Pac has waiting for him but aside from the comment he made about roach , broner acts stupid any time a camera is on him. Rios and margaritos comments are embarrassing and can not get lower then what they said. But broner happens to be on camera more and takes every opportunity to make a idiot of him self all the time.

    Broner flushes money down the toilet
    Broner crumbles and throws away money
    Broner talks to a brush
    Broner tries to be Floyd
    Broner I believe sunk low when claiming to **** Paulie's gal
    Broner robbed a old lady
    Broner takes pics of him self taking a ****

    Only reason why I think broner is hated more is because he at tracks more attention & his behavior on camera is very annoying.

    You can't hate a guy for taking an alphabetical approach. The B and C level fighters come after all the guys with names that start with A. The Ds will follow in time.

    Don't think many fightfans "love" Rios at all. I believe most here even dislike him (like me).

    But Broner is is just so much more of a tool. With his wanting to be Floyd obsession, being full of himself, a attention ***** and his constant annoying behavior.
    He's a completely over the top Floyd caricature, without the huge accomplishments.

    There's no wonder people like to see Broner get humbled in a bad way.

    1. Race - Broner is black, Rios is Mexican
    2. Style - Broner is Mayweathers clone, Rios fights like a Mexican.
    3. Record - Broner is undefeated, Rios lost.
