    i honestly don't know if he can be p4p the best anymore, i just don't know. When i think about it its hard to tell because its dependent on his mindset.
    Either he takes **** seriously or continues his outside shenanigans.

      He has no real craft to work with, unless you count his asinine attempt to mimic PBF's philly shell defense. One of the reasons he was besting guys in the lower weights was because he was so much bigger than they were. The minute he stepped up in weight he became less than ordinary. I can't see him taking over anything, let alone be the next face of boxing. I personally think he's garbage and a punk.

      Honestly, I would pay money to see him get lobotomized by Pacquiao at 140. If Pacquiao doesn't move down to 140, I hope Matthysse or Provodnikov gets a chance to tap that ass the way Maidana did. Hopefully the fans don't get treated to 3-4 Carlos Molina's in an attempt to salvage his career. Sad, I liked seeing him get knocked silly.

        There is no way on earth that he takes over boxing, he just isnt good enough imo.

        He has 0 footwork and his shoulder roll is really bad.

        They will build him up again but when he has to face some decent competition he will probably fall short.

        He is still young so he may still have a chance but he has too many bad habbits to correct in order to get where he think he should be.

          Too early to tell. He definitely has talent, we cannot deny that. He is a skilled fighter who stands out from the pack. Sure he's got some flaws which are magnified when fighting top opposition but he's got a special foundation to work on.

          I don't believe he's got the maturity yet to dedicate himself to his craft like you put it. I think that it might come too late for him and by that point it might be too late. But hypothetically speaking, if he does, I don't know about taking over boxing but he will right up there with the biggest names in the sport. He definitely has the personality and charisma to become a PPV attraction.

            I have never been sold on Broner, and I figured he would beat Maidana easily. He has never had to show true boxing ability until his last fight and he failed. I would favor Peterson, Matthysse, Garcia, Bradley, Prov, Pac, Mayweather, Marquez, Peterson all over him.

            He was spoiled fighting smaller guys at 130 and 135. Then he looks average against Malignaggi. Broner was so overrated that people are now overrating Maidana.

              Exactly he has very average defense and mediocre counter punching ability. ****ing Gavin Reese was landing on him at will in stretches. He is fast and athletic and has some pop. Really he is a slightly better Berto with possibly a better chin but we will know that for sure in the next couple fights.

              You take away his size advantage and he leaves a lot to be desired.

                Broner will be a champion again. One day he will get his revenge against Maidana.
