Broner's resume for the first 5½ years of his career (before his 24th birthday) was truly impressive, his critics only seem to recall what's transpired since 2015, when his in-ring talents were declining.

No, no it isn't. He is the biggest weight bully boxing has ever seen. His skills never diminished he just found his level when he fought guys his own weight.

OK, fair enough. If that's how you feel.

Out of interest though, how many fighters competing today can you name achieved more in the sport of boxing than Adrien Broner did prior to their 24th birthday?

For the record, I’m not asking you to like the guy, instead all I’d like you to do is to provide an objective/honest assessment that isn’t based on personal animosity.

Interesting, I agree with digzee 50%, and with EO 50%, too

I agree, the fight against DeMarco might be the best Broner's win.
Anyway, my favorite fight was his loss vs, Maidana.

The biggest waste is james toney.

If my dad was here, he'd say Max Baer.

Edwin Valero_people say he could have beat Pacquaio. I don't buy he had enough fights to have a better resume imo.
Adrien Broner-World was given to him. That Maidana fight changed the trejectory of his career.
Junior Witter-Never really got the big fightw/ Hatton. Style was trash and didn't show up vs Judah/Bradley
Joshua Clottey-This guy all the good skills just was missing that one thing and was fairly unlucky
Felix Sturm-Had one the best jabs in the game & one of few fighter who can win a fight with only a jab, wonder had he got the Oscar win and Abraham fight
Zahir Raheem-He made me a fan schooling Morales but was pretty much a one hit wonder.

felix sturm/adnan catic did fine. he's a world star in little old germany & a superstar in his native country.

he's just a huuge idiot with the intelligence of a nut.

fine boxer though.

while all fvckin' robberies are bad and a real tragedy for the victim, the de la hoya robbery was definitely one of the most blatant shit ever pulled.
