he didnt fight stevie johnston, vernon forrest, and winky wright actually floyd backed out of the winky proposition but hey there wasnt any issues for floyd not making weight against marquez
I'm not gonna argue that once he moved past 135 he didn't or hasn't missed tons of good fighters. Or at least missed them when they were prime or near prime. Genaro was the best 130lb fighter when Floyd beat him. I wish he had stayed at 130 and fought Casamayor and Freitas, but he destroyed Corrales and moved up to 135 and beat JL Castillo. To me he beat the best at 130 and 135, but since then, it's been weak. Still, Broner's best win in Antonia Demarco. He went life and death with Deleon. Many people thought he received a gift decision against Ponce. I like Broner. I think he fights with a more crowd pleasing style than Mayweather. Unfortunately, he's missing the best fighters at 135 and skipping the most stacked division 140 to fight washed up, feather fisted Paulie Malinaggi.
He should fight Vasquez at 135 for the Ring Belt. He should then move up and fight whoever emerges from the 140 lb tourney for the Ring Belt. He is too good and I hate to see him waste his talent by not fighting the best at each division. I'm confident he has the tools, strength and size to go as high as 154 and dominate. Eventually surpassing Floyd in terms of career accomplishements.
