Broner: from future fighter of the decade to joke. What went wrong?

[Santa_]

It all started when he decided to jump up from 135 to 147. Bad move.

He should have just chased a belt at 140.

He was already ranked 5 or 6 P4P when he was a 135. He probably would have moved up a couple spots if he won a title at 140.

Adrien Broner simply wasn't and isn't that good.

He's talented yes and has good parts to his game but he's extremely flawed and always has been.

The hype he was getting in 2013 was insane. You had Sky Sports Ringside doing a whole show on him, guys like Glen McCrory and Johnny Nelson saying that he's better at age 23 than Mayweather was at 23 and he's Mayweather just with better offense.

Johnny Nelson watching highlights of the Ponce De Leon fight - "Broner made this fight look so easy." I'm positive that Johnny Nelson doesn't follow Boxing.

Just imagine the hype now if he was still undefeated

He was chasing the money

The big fights were at 147

Yeah but now he's washed up.

147 was way too much for him at the time.

I'd still want to see

Broner-khan
Broner-ghost

Yup.

Guerrero made the same mistake jumping up to 147 from 135 for the big fights. He's shot to shit now too.

Broner vs Guerrero at 140 could have been a mega fight.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Those who thought he'd be the next Floyd are easily fooled.

Broner is neither a counterpuncher nor outfighter.

How do you be the next Floyd with a completely different fighting style
