Broner disappoints me. How he can be a four-weight world champion yet still a waste of talent (by common consensus) shows just how good he could be. A real pity...

It is a pity. But behaving like an absolute tosser 100% of the time reduces my sympathy somewhat.

In case it's not obvious, I greatly dislike Broner.

Broner is a basically Mayweather, but with only 30% of the talent, 5% of the dedication and 1% of the business acumen.

Not someone I like to watch, as my dislike for him would prevent me from enjoying the fight regardless of the outcome.

Broner showtime interview.

Starts off sensible he is trying to be calm and mature and reflective, then at 4.40 ish minutes in, he flips out Kanye West style, offering to cancel this fight if Porter wants a rematch.

Crazy mofo.

Me too. Mikey is all class and the real deal too. My only concern is his massive lay off and keeping jumping up in weight since his return.

I still think he outclasses Broner though.

Tyson was getting better and posting on Twitter lots of his training with Billy, but that was because he had a August fight to look forward to as a warm up for AJ later.

When UKAD delayed the decision, it seemed to knock wind out of his sail again, twitter went suddenly quiet. Wouldn't be surprised if back on drugs/depressed, which would be a shame for his young family.

I said quite a few months ago that I think unfortunately we will not see Tyson box ever again, certainly not at any competitive level.

Him fighting this August, regardless any of license issues or not was just fantasy.

I remember seeing a video of him and BJS 'training' in Spain. Sat in a cafe for hours talking to fans on snapchat, then later on Tyson running through a hotels waterfall in his shortssmile

He looks to be bigger and less healthy than ever, lost his voice, and seems severely depressed and unstable in every interview.

He's never going to be allowed to box while he still has his mental health issues. His physical and mental condition is so poor it looks like he will need 2-3 years to be able to be in a competitive fight with someone like AJ. It's never going to happen.

A shame for him, and awful for his family.

No boxer has ever made me laugh as much as Tyson has. Just a few weeks ago calling AJ a 'useless big dosser'biggrin

Things looking up for Hughie though. If he can come through against Parker, looks like a big-money fight with Haye is on the radar. Keep an eye out for Haye's next opponent to be WBO ranked...

After Mikey Garcia's KO of Dejan Zlaticanin, I fear for Broner's safety!

Think that's genuine, Frampton was overweight so no need to back out.
