Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Adrien Broner Can Still Become PPV Headliner

[richardt]

Broner wasn't PPV before and certainly is not now. I thought with dedication and a change of attitude, he could win some big ones but after his talk about Partying which now should be furthest from his mind, I have less belief he can become a more dedicated fighter. Flamboyance is not enough and now that has been nullified. If he doesn't change, his downward spiral is going to be rapid. I bet in a month he is seen at some bar or club weighing 190 and looking 10 years older.

I'm still in shock man. When I saw broner go down I thought I was dreaming.

I should've known that Chino had a shot.

...would pay to watch this wannabe ... This guy is just mediocre ... plain and simple ...

Well you asked who thought he was elite, and i answered the question...

OK, a magazine that is owned by AB's promoter said he was elite. Guessthat validates it.

Broner is like Berto now. These guys never fail to entertain, especially when they get beat up.

Who at 35 would you pick to beat him?

Schaefer has a horrible way to create "superstars" canelo, broner, etc. Instead of putting their attention to fighters like Thurman and Danny Garcia, they brush them off. But thats good they earn their way up. Just cuz they fought 20 tomato cans doesnt mean they have talent

I don't see it............................

I can see it. He can take beatings on PPV against Canelo at 154 eventually, Cotto, Paccquiao if he leaves TR. Basically he'd be that fun PPV fighter who can take beatings and wins a couple of rounds but always loses. Remember he has a mouth too, he could be like Mayorga, the talkative loser. He's very stationary and easy to hit so he'd hardly be in boring fights.

I think Gamboa and Crawford would be difficult fights but I doubt he can make 135 and after he balloons up from partying, I'd be surprised if he could make 140. But I don't think he is a fraud or a pushover but his dedication level is going to come out in the next 6 months and how focused he is will determine how far he goes. But I see a number of guys from 135 to 154 that would be a serious threat.

Broner's whole thing was people watching to see him lose. And now that he has, there's nothing more to see. Broner was a cancer to the sport. And Maidana was the cure.. That's it...
