      As long as he can still sell tickets and get good ratings he'll always get fights.

      When he can't sell anymore is when he's done

        Broner is a good guy. He just played the hate game and lost. There's not really any coming back from that. It was all for marketing, but if you're going to make people hate you, you MUST win at all costs.

        Sucks because he really is a good hearted guy.

          I dislike Broner, but it's it's ****ed up to put someone so young down like that by saying he's done. But I really do think he is done at the top level.

            Depends on what you consider done...

            Basically he was never a top level fighter, which showed when he did fight high level opposition. All that's happened is the hype is gone and everyone has realised what level he's at, which is around the level where he can beat C level fighters or lower and pick up easy world titles, a bit like someone like Ricky Burns does. If you strip away the persona and the hype that come with him early on, that's essentially his level.

            So no, he's not done as a top level fighter because he never was one. He will still pick up some paydays every time he puts a couple of average wins together, because he's still a name. He's still a good fighter though, he's just nowhere near elite, but not many are. No shame in that, it's just highlighted more with him because of the persona/hype that come with him.

              If Broner just let his hands go earlier in fights like he does late, he would have far greater success. He picks his spots too much and gives up his strengths like physical strength that he could pose on opponents and stamina. Too much in a counter-punching mode and not enough offense.

                Hes been done, he was the biggest pretender in the sport. Only beat bums and guys that he weight bullied. Lost to every good fighter he faced and always talks **** and never backs it up.

                Dudes of one of the biggest frauds in recent years and thats not even hating just truth.

                  His age is irrelevant. He has tasted some money and isnt hungry anymore. By the time he snaps out of it, itll be too late, prime years will pass by him.

                  He seems to care more about being a celebrity rather than a boxer.

                  Broner is done

                      Broner can't compete above 140 I guess he just can't pass up the extra servings at the Dinner table
