AB had the talent to be an ATG, and he wasted it
in the bars and nightclubs. No discipline. It’s too late now because he ballooned to a weight class he shouldn’t be in, and his body won’t let him get back down at this point.
You are absolutely correct. He had both the talent and potential to be great but he just couldn't leave the hood. He left the hood but the hood never left him and because of it; it cost him his career.
Adrien Broner's career has to rank up there as being one of the greatest disappointments that the sport of boxing has ever seen. He had all the talent and potential in the world to become an all-time great but for whatever reason he chose to piss it all away.
Whats "all this talent" people speak of?? I'd probably say Demarco is his best win. Dude hasn't had a win over a notable opponent since 2013.
No POP at 147lbs, too undisciplined to make 140lb and walks around easily at 170lb+
The reason he doesn't "let his hands go" is very simple. He doesn't want to get countered and has limited punch resistance. When he fights against someone of note, he often fights NOT to lose and thats why he goes into a defensive shell.
It's TOO late for him now even if he gets in good shape.
The annoying thing was not so much how he tried the shoulder roll but when he grabbed Perez' throat right after Mayweather grabbed Ortiz' throat to try to further imitate Mayweather. Long ago I heard from a reliable source at the time that Broner was top in his high school class which now seems a little hard to believe.
Top in his high school class?
Special Ed?
Sorry, can't see that at all.
I've never heard anything intelligent come out of his mouth.
