    He looks done IMO, no confidence, scared to get hurt, spends his off time doing things fighters shouldn't do.

    And hasn't looked impressive since fighting smaller opponents.

    And most of all, can't pull the trigger. He done..

      Jackson could show him how to be an offensive fighter again, but Broner has found his ceiling, he's on the same level as Paulie a gatekeeper.
      John David Jackson would turn Broner into a man.

        One more loss and he's done. Give him a long line of cab drivers so he can come back safely. He's lucky he's not a TR fighter. Otherwise, he'll be feasted on like Alvarado was.

          He was moved up in weight too quick, he didn't take his time like Floyd did. Floyd carefully managed his way through the weight classes, only for De la Hoya do I think he made a move weight wise where he was not comfortable and it was premature, but he had to do that for his career, the reward financially and for his profile was worth the risk. After the Malignaggi fight, Broner should have taken a step back to 140 or even 135 if he could still make it. His stock was still extremely high even after the close fight against Paulie. He could have moved back down after and refined his skills and his all round game against fighters who weren't so dangerous. He only has himself to blame, because ultimately you can't tell him anything, he would have always got exposed at higher weights as he is not on the same level as a Mayweather or even a Marquez but it would have been in a big fight for a big amount of money. Now I don't see where he can go and quite frankly he will never fulfil his potential, the guy doesn't listen to anyone. I hope he gets beaten up again, but badly this time, maybe that will finally humble him.

            Thats true. He cannot afford 1 more loss.

              Broner needs a new life change. He's to worried about being famous than focusing on his boxing. Broner will never be great because he doesn't have the skills to be great, he's just an ok boxer who got famous off his mouth.

                He needs to let his current diet go too

                Ballooning up in between fights ain't helping

                      Broner probably beats Guerrero but that is not much of a quality win.
