I couldn't care less about his character, as long as he backs it up in the ring, Who gives a fuck. Yall talking about this brotha like yall know him personally or something, lol. All that outside the ring shit is just entertainment. If he wasn't doing any of that shit, yall wouldn't be talking about him.
The problem is he doesn't back it up in the ring. Broner was completely dismantled in his last fight. In the fight before that he went 12 with a boxing commentator. It can be argued that the Ponce de Leon win was a robbery and that the lower weight divisions actually lacked top tier competition.
Who gives a fuck? He should give a fuck and you have your opinion of him just like everyone else so does that mean you are acting like you know him? And his antics outside of the ring reflect his in ring behavior and I honestly believe that a lot of people, who do like Broner, do so because of the coonery that has been mislabled as "entertainment."
So if one is to follow in Floyd's steps follow what got him there. Hard work, focus, strict dedication to his craft and the mastery of it. You want to walk in Floyds shadow and always be compared to him in every way possible (while doing only one positive thing that Floyd didn't) then pull a Broner.
Floyd beats Maidana where does it leave Broner?
Maidana beats Floyd where does it leave Broner?
Broner gets beat by Khan?
See what walking in the next mans shadow gets you? Second place. Third. Fourth. Fifth...etc.
