    his talent could bring him all the way to the hall of fame. there are hall of famers with much less talent.

    that said, nothing other than the wins he's already earned are guaranteed now. he could be stopped in his next fight. he's going to need to take the necessary steps in upping his game, and fight the right fighters to cement the legacy.

    best case scenario : hall of fame

    worst case scenario : he loses his next fight and everything falls apart. in 15 years he looks like his dad. it's happened plenty of times before, and it will happen again.

      Mr larryx you made me laugh yeah broners a headcase,hes funny young hungry and crazy he talks alot now he has to back it up i think he has alot of potential and hes big physicly for 22 he will go 147 as he gets older that speeds crazy when you learn to use it if he does and he seems to be the case,he might excel. i think his worse case scenerio right now is a good boxer puncher with hurt you type power when you look at floyds performance against the great chico corrales you ask yourself could broner produce that kinda performance at the same age against that kind of opponent i dont think so, yet its to be seen.im no specialist but jumping into this philly shell so early may effect him when its time to stick and move every round, then again if hes smart enough and perfects it he could be really good,at the moment he aint rolling that shoulder as good as floyd or james toney was at that age,i think floyd perfected it more when his hands started hurting broners just learning it goodluck to him.

        I don't know, I'm not going to pretend I know what's best for him. IMO, he looks like he is trying to hard to look like Floyd, rather than let the fight happen naturally. What happens when someone won't let him fight that way? Maybe he'll prove me wrong, he's talented enough. Just what I've seen out of him so far.

            Best case scenario: Corner/ref stop the fight vs DeMarco before he comes out of there on a stretcher.

            Worst case scenario: He ends up out cold in the middle of the ring.

              Broner has all the potential in the world. Worst case scenario, he out grows divisions, and finds himself stuck in a division with naturally bigger men. He's also untested. The imaginary losses Broner suffered in the minds of his critics is phony, and due to Broners fight comments about a Mexican fighter.

                I think Broner likes to fight, dig into his opponent's chest and take their will away. The way Broner has packaged himself is deceiving. We tend to classify certain traits with certain styles, as if fast hands and using a jab are only characteristics of a boxer/counter-puncher. I don't think Broner is much of a boxer tbh. When it's time to trade and get into the trenches, he seems comfortable. All that defensive posturing he does on the outside is him mimicking Floyd. I think the foolishness and immaturity outside of the ring is truly him, but I agree that he's taking a couple things from Floyd's playbook that don't fit with his own mentality.

                  Let's see how he does when he steps up in class. I'm not sold on him but not counting him out.

                    I think he looks the goods, don't really like how he handled the weight situation though.

                    Has good pop and can go all the way up to 147.

                      let's wait and see how he looks at 135 and 140 first.
