      The man did when titles in 3 different weight classes... He is a talented athlete. Unfortunately he the morals and discipline. He lacks in every mental category; that's his major problem. If he pulls it together I wouldn't hold it against him to have a good comeback and win another title but I just don't see the boy growing up to become what he could be!

        This from someone who actually bought into the AB hype. Your judgement is obviously questionable.

          -He's backed by Floyd and Haymon who really believe he's the next PPV star
          -His opponents agree to his catch weights and rehydration limits
          -Receives prime time slot on TV even after azz beating by Maidana
          -Gets opportunity to headline at MGM Grand, Vegas
          -Receives boxing tips/advice from Floyd himself and gets to use his gym + solid sparring from guys like Spence

          Despite all of the above he still manages to lose while getting dominated.

          147 & 140 just isn't the right weight class for Broner.

            Don't say that man, Haymon will visit these boards and make it happen.

              Maybe good riddance in the sense that maybe now people (promoters, commentators, networks, etc.) will stop talking about him like he is going to carry the sport once Pac and Floyd retire. That is probably the most sickening part for me, there was a movement to portray him as a once in a generation boxer when he was nothing near that, a mere fabrication.
              Unfortunately they'll still talk about him because of his out of the ring shenanigans. He'll still be on a platform cause he has Haymon backing him. He'll probably get another 2 fights against nobody special and they'll talk about how he's back. The second he steps up again he'll get knocked off. Rinse and repeat.

                You're describing Victor Ortiz here. Broner doesn't lack discipline and heart. As of now he's really really gun shy facing brawlers who are bigger than him, his only defense is to hold against them.

                I believe he will do better at 135 if he can make the weight. Can't see anyone at 135 beating him.

                As of now at 140 & 147 Broner is just a big name hyped up guy that everyone would wanna fight for big money and get a famous guy on their resume.

                  Are you serious? Yes Ortiz went off the deep end but Broner isn't far behind. He shows a lack of heart during fights and interviews... He shows a lack of disapline during time off, blowing up in weight and not focusing on training. He may have the physical gift but lacks in every other category

                    I didn't buy into any hype, I bought into the left hook that put Porter on his ass in the 12th.

                    MArtin Murray is GGG best win and you say Broner is hype. (and BTW I would call him that ***gy nickname you just did)

                      You all are talking hiw garbage broner is but I think one thing is being overlooked. Broner was in the ring with porter who is a good fighter. Calling broner garbage discredits porter as a fighter.
