If Broner fought Judah's resume, he surely wouldn't be a 4 division WC.

I think that the comparison is a relatively accurate one. Broner has fought his share of tough competition as had Judah at his age. Both are too psychologically flawed to become elite although they both have elite physical gifts.
Maybe Broner will mature and prove me wrong. I highly doubt that he has the mental toughness to actually become a p4p star.

Judah was one of the more consistent fighters of his era. I don't pin the underachiever label on him. He just wasn't good enough for the top of the ladder. Broner isn't good enough for Judah.

I was never a Judah fan but Broner has a LONG way to go before he gets anywhere near the Judah of 2001 who had like a half dozen title defenses (against pretty damn good opponents) before running into Tszyu, or the Judah of 2005 who wrecked Spinks and Rivera to become the recognized welterweight champ.

Judah fought almost all of those guys when he was a lot older than AB is now so it's a silly comparison to make. Let's compare a 20 year career to an 8 year career, yeah that's fair.
