    Broner at this point should a four loss fighter at this young age if not for his gifts so, I see him as a journeyman type fighter, he's not and will never be elite level talent......He still doesn't have a understanding of simply going rounds, only a few of his fights went past 8, unfortunately for him his mouth talked him to the elite level and he can't learn on the job vs that competition..........He's pretty much done in my book...

      I don't think I could pick Broner over any top 10 welterweight at this point in time.

      How many top 10 JWWs would you pick him against?

      This the tbrb's top JWW ranking - http://www.tbrb.org/all-rankings/#140

      Danny

      Lucas
      Ruslan
      Peterson
      Khan
      Alvarado
      Rios
      Herrera
      Vargas
      Khabib
      Zab

        He's not ordinary, he just fights in the wrong style. He wants to be a slick counter-puncher like Floyd but he is more effective as a boxer-puncher.

        he, nor his team, realize that he could be more successful marketing himself if he drops the swag act.

          Broner is all power & handspeed and not much else. And his power is just not effective above 135. Just about anybody who can take his shots has the ability to make him look average. He needs to find a way to get back down to Lightweight if he plans on being anything more than a career gatekeeper.

            A huge part of his success was his size advantage over smaller opponents. When he stepped up and started facing fighters his size, he didn't look good.

            This was a bad performance. Especially against a guy who was smaller, who hadn't fought in 1.5 years and was coming off a loss.
            Yep. He definitely should. Broner would be eaten up by top fighters at 140+.

              I was Impressed with his ability to showboat while being constantly punched in the face.

                I truly doubt it... it takes a lose from some to become greater, so I have yet to see if he has shown ordinary skills. Broner has potential to win another title at 140 but also is a product of his environment. ... If he continues to play games, someone is gonna play with his chin and win!!!

                  Yes he is but with extraordinary mouth and confidence. That is why I think it would be legendary for him to face pacquiao. We all need someone to laugh at sometimes.

                      I think the physical realities of of trying to get to 135 might not help him much going forward. That's why I'm on, 'stay at 140, dedicate yourself to boxing, and try to develop some more.' There's credible little fish to nibble on there, and a lot of elite LWs now will end up in WW soon enough (especially since a lot of the top WWs are likely to retire in the next few years). I'm not a Broner fan, but it's not like he's irredeemably bad as long as you have a mute button.
