Comments Thread For: Broner Aiming for Undisputed at 140: I Want Regis; Get Him Out the Way, Then Knock Them All Out

Broner has the potential still but he can't F up anymore. Like Teofimo, these guys must get serious or get into another line of work.

Broner was last a force in boxing in 2013.

Almost ten years ago. Let that sink in.

That year, in February, he fought for the last time at LW, a stoppage win against the scrappy Gavin Rees. By summer he was fighting Pauli at welter and barely eking out a SD.

Elites would then have their way with him: Maidana, Porter, Mikey, and Grandpa Pac Man. Meanwhile Broner missed the boat he should have hopped on: turning his gift for comedy (not to mention comic self-destruction) into an entertainment career.

Many moons and miles ago he was a little special, when he was bigger than most in his division, fast and hungry, and had Floyd whispering in his ear. Today, Regis would badly embarrass him.

Please, Broner doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Teo in 2022.

Teo has potential still, but can't **** up.

Broner had potential 10 years ago, but ****ed up wayyy too many times since.

You're just going to hear this again. Jump to 1:51:42.

He ain't beating Prograis, but he can go the distance as he's durable.

Even when he took a bit of a beating against Maidana, he still survived. So gotta give him that. He just doesn't throw enough effective punches against top level opposition to win.

Broner is a former champion now 33 years old and can't seem to let it go! However anytime some fools offer you 7 figures to fight again, hell why not! He's going to talk because that's who he is, but we haven't seen him produce in years, which by the way normally mean you are finished! I say this because he took so many fights where he showed signs of just an opponent trying to survive. If he were to accomplish what he's saying he would then write his own Hall of Fame pass. I can't see it though!

Can't picture Broner ever winning another title.

He doesn't even "show up" to his fights anymore.

I can't remember any recent fight where he actually made an effort to win. Seems content to just coast to a decision, even if it's a loss or a draw.

Larry thought he was a future all time great

"Adrien Broner apparently has not lost his mojo." He has however, apparently lost his freaking mind!

[gauze]

broner could very easily have a record of 28-11.

what is his best win...antonio demarco? split decision against malignaggi?
