        I'll believe AB is "back" when I see it in a non-showcase fight.

        I think he's washed already & has his head too far outta the game. I do think he can have some good moments with some clever matchmaking, but I think any legit guy is gonna beat him & I think he could be a good name for these 135 guys to build their own name off of better in the next year or two as they move to 140 or in the off chance AB drifts lower in weight.

          What do you think about AB vs. Prograis @ 140?

            Rougarou should be the opponent, but we all know pbc is still trying to milk anything they can out of AB. " I want a tough test" but its going to be either a blown up lightweight or an old, passed it, super lightweight with name recognition

              Not going to come in shape; not going to win. Yup, same AB.

                Actually PBC wants Barrios vs. Prograis! That's why they were on that card together!

                Regis Prograis and Mario Barrios discussing possible fight

                    Broner brought all this upon himself through both his own actions and non action. He ran at the mouth about his skills for quite sometime and carried a swagger most found obnoxious.

                    Over time it built up a whole fan base wishing to see him out on the seat of his pants. On top of that he let his own fame get to his head to such an extent that his training was ****. He then is exposed and with the losses one began to wonder if he was all that anyway. His inaction was in the ring where when faced with any level of adversity he thought he could just run, hug and win fights based off his name alone.

                    I could go on about his personal life choices but we all know that history.

                    Each item above has nothing to do with promoters. He is his own worst enemy and brought all this upon himself through an overinflated ego
