No, he doesn't possess the tools. Broner is a better fighter when he solely chooses to press forward, sadly his team don't realize that. I mean that's where the fix should start but either way, no.Comment

needs to desperately go to 140 and stay there, hes most effective when he has a size advantage (who wouldn't right) but that's what he needs to be back to his old self and bully fighters and he should ONLY jump to 147 only for opportunities he knows he cant beat and then go back to 140 and play that game for the next 2 years/3 years till he mature and comes into his own as a fighter. I still think he is in identity crisis mode. The broner that fought jason litzau is a beast, the broner that fought gavin reese got caught up in the lil bro persona.Comment

If the version that fought Demarco followed him up to WW he would have been pretty good.needs to desperately go to 140 and stay there, hes most effective when he has a size advantage (who wouldn't right) but that's what he needs to be back to his old self and bully fighters and he should ONLY jump to 147 only for opportunities he knows he cant beat and then go back to 140 and play that game for the next 2 years/3 years till he mature and comes into his own as a fighter.

Probably not. His talent and skill level were always overrated. He has some talent and tools, but nothing that stands out as anything special as far as elite fighters are concerned. He has quick hands, but his feet aren't fast and more importantly, his defensive reflexes aren't too fast.
The most telling thing is how he seemed to not give a **** when he lost to Porter. When he lost to Maidana, at least he fought hard. He just went through the motions against Porter.Comment

Not at all. You can make a case for Ponce De Leon beating Broner, but it was not a robbery, it was close but you could make a case. You could definitely make a case for Malignaggi beating Broner, no robbery but again, there is a case for Malignaggi. He could not beat Maidana, was humiliated. The Taylor fight was pretty close 115-112 with the kd, without the kd Broner just barely edges him 114-113 in my scorecard as well as one of the judges scorecards. And finally he could not capitlize on a big PBC fight vs Porter where it was his chance to shine and he lost. So I doubt he can become great, ever in his life. HOF is so easy to get into, there's HOF inductions every year and any boxer with a solid following has a chance. I give him credit for beating DeMarco and Khabib the way he did, because I thought both guys were actual tests for him, which he passed. At the very least he is above that level opponent, but he is nothing more than a B- grade fighter.Comment
