Look, all I know is call me when Teofimo "Dime store Danny Garcia" Lopez is a four weight world champion. Until then Adrien "The Can Man" Broner has my vote. Edit: Were going to post in the 2019 boxing thread post professionally or we won't.

I think broners biggest crime of all is being extremely boring in the ring, in contrast to being extremely flashy outside of it. His campaign at welterweight has sucked, but he’ll continue to fight there since he probably can’t make the lower weights anymore and there’s always been more money at welter anyway. Seriously though, broner never throws unless he’s got a sure shot and can hardly even be forced into interesting fights by guys who push him. He’s not fun to watch and he’s not even that good (at welterweight) anyway. He’s the ultimate example of a 2010s type manufactured fighter. He’s completely invented, his fighting style sucks, and his path to picking up paper titles above his natural weight was always a cynical marketing move that unfortunately worked very well. If he actually stayed at a fighting weight that worked for him he’d be more interesting and more competitive, but modern boxing promotion isn’t about being interesting or good (at least it wasn’t, I feel like that’s getting better) Broner is a bad dude outside of the ring but I honestly don’t really care too much about that cause lots of fighters are dickwads outside of the ring. I’m watching guys beat the poo poo out of each other, I’m not really in the position to demand they be morally virtuous. Broner is worse than average for sure, but the thing that always annoyed me is how completely empty his career has been. If you think this is trash take from me it’s pretty much how all boxing media treats fighters, it’s why guys like Wilder don’t have people prying too much into their dodgy histories and guys like Ward are hated even if they’re perfectly nice guys.

Broner is an interesting boxer because he has natural athletic gifts in punching speed, power and accuracy beyond what anyone would need to win a world title in boxing, but never bothered to develop the footwork, conditioning or workrate needed to deploy those gifts properly against other world-level opposition. In his prime he looked like he very well could be the next Floyd Mayweather, if he had Floyd's level of dedication and work ethic. Instead Broner decided to model his career off of "Money," the character Mayweather invented and pretended to be to sell fights.

There's an alternate universe where Broner was born 8 years later than he was and became a huge star after knocking out Ryan Garcia and has a pretty sick rivalry with Tank Davis

even when he was knocking guys out at 135 he was super flat footed agreed with jump and ninth that he’s boring and never really worked that hard to be great; post maidana he never seemed to work to actually set up his jab (which was a really good jab!) to wear guys down over time but also never really developed the defensive skills to allow him to counter punches effectively at higher weight classes now he’s on the wrong side of 30 and unretired out of desperation; i don’t have any love for him but that’s always a sad end

Broner sucks. Lazy, barely throws any punches/easily outworked, and not talented enough in any other area to make up for it. If he was dedicated he could have been alright at 135/140 until this new batch of guys showed up; at 147 he's a gatekeeper. Even if he somehow made 140, all the top guys there would kick his rear end. He's like, Andre Berto level at best. Anyways, Valdez/Berchelt was sick. Happy for Valdez. I don't see how you keep him out of the pound for pound top 10 at this point. Hopefully Berchelt is alright. He took a vicious beating and obviously suffered some brain trauma. Sounds like a lot of late money came in on Valdez after the weigh in when Berchelt looked bad making weight. The guy is huge for 130 and has been at the weight essentially his whole career, even fighting at lightweight from time to time. This was almost certainly his last fight at 130. Hopefully he recovers, maybe takes the rest/most of the year off, and then comes back to compete at 135. Bring on Valdez vs Shakur Stevenson.

That's an interesting take because I kind of do the opposite and, if I know for a fact that a guy is a complete rear end in a top hat or openly acts like one, I always enjoy watching him get the poo poo beat out of him and totally root against him. For instance, I always enjoyed watching Prince Naseem Hamed and Hector Camacho get their asses beat and really enjoyed watching Manny Pacquiao beat the ever living Christ out of Antonio Margarito for 10 rounds. However, and to your point, learning later on about Manny's comments on gay people took some of the shine of off that last one and you're probably right that 95% of these dudes are probably assholes to some degree or another. I just enjoy watching the sport more when I can drum up a rooting interest.

I mean, Pacquiao's comments on homosexuals aren't because he's an "rear end in a top hat", it's because he's deeply Catholic (as are like 85% of the Philippines) as well as barely educated. The average Filipino will likely feel similarly to him on the matter, and considering who their current president is, Pacquiao would be a massive step up in the morality department. I agree that there's little point in holding boxers to any sort of real moral standard. Not a lot of altruists in boxing, at least not ones who are any good at fighting. I do draw the line at beating up women. There is 0 excuse for that. And that's another reason to dislike Adrien Broner.

i mean i'm not gonna excuse someone being homophobic because they aren't well educated or catholic, especially not someone who's seen as much of the world and has enjoyed a public life with presumably lots of exposure to gay people as manny paquiao does that mean you can't enjoy his boxing? no, of course not, but i don't think we need to make excuses for him or any other boxer. just a lotta bad people in this really violent sport that you can admire for their prowess without looking up to them as role models
