Can AB Still be great?

[lefthook2daliva]

Sure. Why not?

He's young and able. Boxing is his business.

He just has to get his head right.

No, he is a black American with losses. This is according to most posters.

Question Can AB Still be great?
Does he still have HOF/ATG? potential?

Because he simply isn't that talented or skilled to be a great fighter. His technical skill level isn't overly impressive and his physical gifts aren't enough to make up for the technical flaws. He has quick hands, decent power, but is flat footed and his defensive reflexes aren't fast.

He's won titles in multiple divisions, but that just reflects how much titles mean less nowadays with its 4+ titles per division, and also the connections he had through Al Haymon. How many top fighters has he actually beaten?

He could be doing more and he does have some talent, but he's not exactly in the Michael Nunn, Hector Camacho school of underachievers. They were extremely talented and terrific fighters at one point. Broner is moderately talented.

Nope.

At the end of the day... NO! lol

[bigdunny1]

he's already a 4 division champ. i mean to put it in context ggg is only a one division champ so he's already 4 times better than ggg and everyone thinks ggg is hot s-hit. racism...the only explanation

Just stop it's a sham everyone knows he won paper titles in all 4 divisions never beat the best fighter at any weight, lost the belts or didn't defend any for a long time. Hell his belt at 140 was a vacant belt that haymon paid for. Who gets a title shot 3 months after you just lost and got embarrassed and have never beaten a top ranked 140 fighter? Title shot against another fighter coming off a loss and almost 2 years of not fighting. It's a joke. Broner has lost to all the good fighters he's faced. 4 divisions is nothing more then cherry picking mismatches and haymon paying dudes off to get him vacant title shots or title shots against the worst hand picked title holder at the time. He's always been a paper champ.

Don't think so. He hasn't shown the skill or the dedication that would make me even consider him a good fighter. His "21398213 division champ" is a joke, IIRC he's never beaten a top5 fighter in a division, maybe not even top 10.

[SnakeVen0m]

Simply put, he's not disciplined enough. He has the tools, yes, but lacks the determination. He does have heart and a good chin, gotta give him that.

No. Broner was an HBO hype creation who was only dominant at 130 when he had a huge size advantage over his opponents. When fighting guys his own size he's looked anywhere between average and horrible. Maybe he'd be better if he stopped copying Floyd and stopped partying so hard in between fights but I don't see him ever being a great fighter.
