    Would u favor prime Rios vs Broner? I know I would. Too much activity and a chin. He wouod have beat Broner badly. That tells alot abt Broner lol
    Yea id actually pick prime rios to beat him similair to what maidana and porter did.

      I wonder where he goes from here. There's winnable fights at 140 for him, but when he fights someone real decent, he will lose again.

      I watch him and wonder where this talk of 'wasted talent' comes from. I don't think it's anything to do with motivation or drive, i just think it's that he's not good enough to go to that next level.

      His defense isn't the best, nor his power, or his footwork. He's hesitant when fighting good guys. Doesn't adjust.
      I'm not hating, it's just that i don't think he's talented enough to beat the top guys.

      Even when he was winning down at the lower weights, his flaws were there to be seen.

        Broner has never been an elite fighter and will never be an elite fighter because he can't beat an elite fighter. Who did he beat when he won his belts?
        Dead ass nobody even the Pauline win is debatable

          This has been proven since the Malignaggi fight.

            That Demarco fight had a lot of people getting ahead of themselves. I admit I thought he might be on his way up after that fight. Then I remember you told me to look at the Ponce De Leon fight, and I instantly changed my mind

                He doesn't have the heart or ambition to be a top fighter.

                He's going to be a gatekeeper for top fighters now.

Doesn't have the discipline or the heart for it though.
                  If you look at his list of world champions faces in victory. Almost all of them are fights he should have lost, but was gifted.
