Is it safe to say Maidana ruined Broner?

It exposed him and he never changed/ adapted
Dude acts like he has to pay to throw punches. Should've stayed at the weight he was at
I do wonder when he decided to get gunshy. When he actually lets the hands go he's a beast but too often he'll sit back acting like he's Mayweather and can just counter ever so often.

He admires Mayweather, he so badly wanted Floyd's style to be his.
He was so talented it quickly became delusion and he REFUSED to switch anything up.

No!!! LOL

broner struggled with malinaggi for suck sake..lol

his lifestyle ruined him..plus he never showed up to class..his ring IQ is trash.

this...i said it on here back when broner was a 130 champ and he fukked off his belt on the scales eating ice cream...he had a discipline problem

and now look at him a draw but a high paying jobber to the stars..its sad

I wonder if he’s still a draw or if people have lost interest to see him lose

It's weird because the potential is still here but he'll never unleash it. Against Porter, he was also gunshy, clinching and super passive but then on the 12th, he goes on the offensive, lets his hands go and he knocks him down.

If Broner had the right coach who would prepare him mentally and for puthim in the right mindset for fights, he would fare way better. You can see that the dog in him is below the surface but he barely digs deep. Against Maidana, even though he was getting beat up he still was firing back.

Yeah he actually showed a lot in the Maidana fight. He was outmatched in that fight and still went at it.

He's a headcase. At lower weights he could get away with his inactivity because his power counted more when he threw. At the higher weights he needed to be a volume puncher and just refuses.
