Was Adrien Broner Ever That Talented ?

[Robbie Barrett]

I said before his first loss when he was receiving all the hype he wasn't that good. He had a massive flaw, which is so obvious but people don't seem to notice. He has to plant his feet and stand still before he throws anything, if his opponent doesn't stand in front of him he's ****ed.

You often hear people say Adrien Broner was a great talent who let it all go to waste or he could've been the next Floyd Mayweather JR but is that really true? Was he really that talented to begin with? Was his lack of work ethic the only reason why he didn't reach the level many had projected him to reach?

Yes, very talented. But lazy and maybe his laziness was due to a conditioning issue.

He’s a smaller version of Dillian Whyte with a yankee accent.

I don't see that at all. Dillian Whyte is an overachiever who has gotten alot better over the years. Broner is almost the complete opposite

His biggest problem was he liked to eat. He was a hell of a fighter and if he stayed in the RIGHT WEIGHT CLASS. He would of been amazing. Tank is going down the same route.
Listen all you very talented and gifted fighters. You can eat all u want at 35 when your RETIRED!!
Look at BHop, GGG, Canelo & Loma. THEY NEVER LOOK LIKE PIGS between fights. They don’t blow up between fights.
I remember Ricky Hatton, who fought 130. He weighed over 200 pounds between fights. That kinda sheeit SHORTENS your career and f#cks up you winning.
You should be a gym rat ALWAYS. MAKE YOUR MILLIONS and take it seriously OR, Otherwise, eat any the fk way you want NOW and get a job at McDonald’s. It’s your choice.

I think he had a lot of natural ability but his mentality was not one of an elite athlete.

Sort of like Zab Judah just with different abilities but you know, he should have done better than he did with his gifts.

[TheBoxGod]

he just another boxer who failed to live up to his potential due to outside indulgences, the sport is riddled with them; Frankie Gomiez, Joan Guzman, Andy Ruiz (work in progress), ...

- -Takes a special talent to keep getting beat up in between flushing 20s on youtube and threatening suicide and getting arrested.

He’s a bum with a mouth same as Broner.

[GrandpaBernard]

Dude learns some shoulder roll and was overrated off doing a technique of one the most skilled boxers ever

[Chrismart]

I don't think he was particularly gifted, or that he is a wasted talent.
I'd say he was a decent fighter who was promoted well on his way up.
