      In boxing terms, he was destroyed by Marcos Maidana after almost losing to (drum roll) Paulie Malignaggi. Enough said.

      In terms of sheer fun, he could have been another Ricardo Mayorga (if Broner had a working brain, I mean). At least Mayorga was clowning when he did his bull***t; Broner really means it, appearing as an idiot with increasing frequency over the years.

      At any rate, he's always looked pathetic to me. I just pray that nothing too bad happens to him.

      And, how will we remember him? More or less like we remember fighters like, say, John John Molina. That's the level: secondary champions.

        I think Broner and I think.. Maidana. Beaten up then disappeared with his tail between his legs.

          A potential great with domestic problems that dragged him down to good.

            Reminds me of Nassem Hamed. Shorter run at the top. Not quite as exciting. But got beat and lost he's heart for the game. Believed he's own press. Will soon weigh 300 pound and in and out of prison. Very much like the Prince.

                Are you blind?

                For every step forward he takes two steps back!

                  Couldn't get over the loss to Chino, which has affected his focus and self belief. The guy laughs off his losses and acts like a thug outside of the ring to balance inner turmoil.

                  Cognitive dissonance is pretty evident in his conduct.

                    Apparently cuz I didn't know we were "remembering" Adrien Broner for some random reason when he's still alive.

                    Maybe I'm the crazy mfer, but I don't "remember" alive guys in their 20's. I wait til their dead to remember them & even then I'm not to serious about remembering them cuz...well their f#cking dead. I do have an opinion of the living Broner & that is that he's a bit of a f#ckhead, but a very respectable boxer.
