    Adrien just isn't that good. It's as simple as that. You can tell levels. Adrien has struggled with B level comp. He was "on their level" instead of being head and shoulders above them. After the Demarco bout he looked like a genuine beast but now...his colors have been shown.
    It got more difficult when he moved up in weight. To be fair to him, 135 to 147 isn't a small jump, it was ambitious.

    Broner gets a lot of heat, but he's a 3 weight world champion at 25 years old and has beaten 4 world champions.

    I wouldn't bet against him winning another world title (at yet another weight) but at the same I wouldn't bet on him either.

      Broner gets hit too much. His style is all flash over substance.

      Remember how Gavin Rees was landing on him a lot? That was at like 135 though and he was tiny compared to Broner but he moved up and Maidana was able to do the same thing.

        That's it. He hit bis peak. Maidana laid the blue print
        He's very entertaining. Pity they had to go the whole 'Next Floyd' route with him. He's a skilled brawler, not a pure boxer.

          I think the kid has talent and has a chance to be great...he is his own worse enemy tho....He can not stand when people try to tell him something(aka constructive criticism) If and if he can listen and build on his craft he can get to that next level

                  Broner went life and death with Emmanuel Taylor who got shut out by chris algeiri

                  Broner isn't winning fighter of decade

                  The winner of the PAC floyd fights will get it

                  Or ward, kovalev, wilder, loma, thurman

                    Posters aren't laughing because he lost. They are laughing that you said a guy who arguably lost to ponce de Leon is potential fighter of decade
