Do you think Broner can come back?

I like Broner...I didn't think he'd get slapped around by Chino like that but I wasn't disappointed when it happened....as a Broner fan you had to see this train wreck coming, I was just hoping it hurried so the kid can get his mind right....we all got some sort of social media outlet, either here or twitter...we all saw his lack of focus from a far I think he needed to rematch Chino....that lost will follow him and haunt him for a while....the mental part of his game might've taken a hit...those type of nights ruin fighters....if Broner can't make 135, he's gonna have problems with the relevant 140 and 147 pounders imo Great post..I completely agree..

I dont think so. He wasnt just beaten, he was publicly humiliated. He has shown nothing to suggest that he has the character to bounce back.

I believe that if there's only one fighter Broner can beat who has any tout, it's Amir Khan. He has more in the tank and judging from the interview he did on showtime. I think that mollying at the hands of Maidana may have actually done him some good. I don't know bro,Broner and his trainer was acting like this loss was cause the ref let Maidana get away with rough house tactics..Broner needs to look in the mirror,sometimes the ref allows the other fighter to be rough..It's his job to adapt..Broner needs fundamental work..If he does not realize this he will just lose again..I hope your right and the Maidana fight help him see the light tho..

He'll be at the "Elite" level again when GBP wants him to. He can beat some guy in a comeback and they'll put him back into the P4P list LMAO,that's crazy he was on the P4P list..I just did not get that at all..

He definitely can. However his last fight just showed that the flaws people identified in the Quintero and PDL fights were real, and not the fevered imagination of closet racists as a lot of his fans preferred to believe. Broner still has wicked handspeed and accuracy, and pretty decent timing. The problem is his heavy feet, which puts him right there for opponents who want to slug with him or break him down. This wouldn't be so important if: A. He was a real puncher B. He had an iron chin, or C. He had great defensive instincts in the pocket At 130 and 135 and least some of those things appeared to be true, most of the time. But the Maidana fight suggests otherwise. The biggest problem is his relatively poor instinct in the pocket. He doesn't build off his opponents shots that well at all, and he doesn't have a great sense of what his opponent is going to do next. That's bad for a guy with his style. He looked good in these areas at the lower weight classes because he didn't have to worry too much about what his opponent was throwing at him. No one was hurting him and he could focus on his own offense. That changed against Maidana. Personally I don't see much hope for major improvement in this regard as an innate understanding of what's coming next isn't something that can be developed at Broner's age. It's something that needs to be engrained from way back. However, the guy still has dazzling offence when he turns it on. It's just a question of can he really hurt people with it at 147. I think he can. He got to Maidana on a number of occasions and Maidana can soak up a shot. But he's going to need to condition himself really well and not eat himself out of the division too quickly as he looks in danger of doing. You would have to question the likelihood of him being the elite level given the flaws he seems to have, but it's nonsense to write him off so quickly. He has decent tools at his disposal, if he has the maturity and intelligence to get that bit more out of them.

Broner needs some psycology therapy! If you understand what psycology really is, you know what I'm talking about. Focus son, focus!

sure... but he has to take a page from the Mayweather "Hustle" book Play it safe. Fight names not talent or high challenge fighters Keep hyping himself up. Make people hate you, more ppv numbers discredit Maidana say he got lucky rematch maidana after youre damn sure hes finished to fix the L Voila, future HOF and an ATG according to Floyd followers

Deffo should stay away from 147 even khan has his number and the only good fighters khan would beat at 147 is probably Alexander and malignaggi

He can come back but he aint gonna beat any of the elites or even the middle of the pack type guys. Broner is just a loudmouth circus act. He should start calling out judah because thats the only fighter I can see him beating right now. Porter,thurman,sotokarass,ortiz,collazo,malignaggi,khan,bradley,rios,garcia, peterson etc etc ALL beat him

Yea he can

Careful you don't spend all your time talking about PPV numbers and focusing on the superficial elements of the sport. This thread is a good example. Clearly most of the respondents couldn't tell you what's wrong with Adrien Broner. They don't even know why they're having this discussion.

Yes, Broner can come back. Whether he does or not is based solely on him. He needs to be mentally and physically focused to be a boxer and only a boxer. I don't think he'll ever be great but if he concentrates on improving and making some adjustments, he should be ok. Broner also needs to listen to his trainer and to the advice given to him by people who have been on top before. I'm very skeptical that he would do any of these things but it is possible for him to learn from his mistakes and come back better.

he can come back, but i don't see him being the star he thought he would be if he had beaten maidana, he still behave the same,he didn't learn anything from that fight and people will remind him forever the beating he took in hands of chino.

With very careful matchmaking, he can rise again But he will never beat elite level fighters in their prime

This is a good question. Cause in my opinion Broner has all the tools to come back and have a very successful career. I think what happened to him is a case of "to much to fast". He started getting these big paydays with out really doing to much. So he started believing his own hype instead of working on his craft. I think the next fight will tell us alot of where he is at mentally and that will be a good indicater of his future in the sport...

For the ones that voted don't care.. How can you NOT care about Broner?? He's so entertaining...when he wins, he chats so much crap you can't wait to see him again...and we all see what happened when he lost...100+ Post thread on NSB! Gotta love to hate him I can't wait to see him in the ring n the build up again.

"Come back?" No. He can't come back from the stylistic flaws that permeate the very essence of his boxing game. Whether he wins or loses will be solely dependent on how he's matched from this point forward. Put him in with someone more dynamic or strong enough to do damage and he's f*cked because he'll never have the ability to change gears and become a different fighter when it's required of him. Every fight he's had including the Malignaggi and Maidana fights are testimony to that. He couldn't get those legs moving to save his life. He has no other answers. No ability to make adjustments.
