    Broner can still reset his career.

    If his camp is able to convince him to go back to lower division, if his body can still take it. He would rule over there with his size and great speed--he will truly be called 'the problem' there. With his size, he could weight-bully those lower division guys and look really good doing it. It's called stacking odds in your favor. 99% are doing it so why not Broner too.

    It's okay not everyone is Pacquiao where he can succeed climbing up weight after weight and then eventually settle fighting these natural welterweights until the end of his career. See most of the recent cause of crumbling careers in recent years was due to over-climbing in weight divisions. Rigo, Donaire, Khan, Brook etc .. and now watch out it's Mikey Garcia's turn, these guys are spectacular in their own right but they all eventually succumbed to size disadvantage.

    Prograis and Josh Taylor are huge 140 pounders. Either right now would kick Broner's ass.

      I agree Broner has no pop at higher weight and he doesn't throw more to compensate he actually caught manny few times last night

          Hard to see him beating anyone by landing 50 meaningless punches an entire fight. He needs ko's and those are not happening too often.

            He still has a career. Gate keeper for the young lions. Those new up and comer will test him. That's his job.

              Yes he can he’s 29. Still have the natural gifts. Just not putting them all together. Haven’t taken a beating either ala cotto v marg or hatton v pac. His problems maintain to be mental, he needs someone who’ll shout at him and wake him up.
              Dude works harder than me in life, and is way richer than i am so i can’t criticize much more

                  At this point it’s a fact he can’t hang at WW

                  If he got serious ( which I doubt he can at this point ) and get to 140 a division that’s rather shallow he could make some noise there he probably wouldn’t be too dog but you’d think he’d be able to compete against among the best of what the division has to offer at this point

                  Broner has to also let his hands go and commit to making it a fight l but ever since the Maidana beat down Broner seems content with cashing cheques and taking Ls as long as he doesn’t get beat down and embarrassed again which is the wrong strategy to have in this sport.

                  Can he do these things probably not but he’s only 1 win away from everyone jumping back on his d.ick the only thing is will he catch more Ls and just stop being a draw and fade away into obscurity before he gets it.

                    In lower weights, Broner will find that the impact of the punches are more acceptable, that might help him open-up more. Maidana indeed gave him some traumatic moments and made him a bit gun shy than he was before. Going back at lower weights is the key to getting back that lost mojo. There is this great feeling when you know you're just too strong and faster than your opponent, this will help him go back to his old flamboyant self.
