Broner showed some dog in the Vargas fight even tho he fukked up, again, weight wise cause it was pose to at 140 right and they changed it to 144 or was that the Granados scrap where they changed the weight late in the ball game?
Is it safe to say Maidana ruined Broner?

He has become cautious and a slow starter but he never should have moved past 140

Really, I wouldn’t mind watching him fight any of those guys though at 140I could see him beating Jose Ramirez

Nah, terrible style for Broner, Robert Garcia knows how to get him beat even when woken up from his sleep. Broner won’t come close beating any top guys 2020 and beyondI could see him beating Jose Ramirez

Yes, because since that fight you can see every fight Broner is in he is visably afraid to get hit.. Its one thing to be defensively responsible and you don't want to get hit, but this nikka fight like he straight up scared to get touched at all.. Its been a slow wrap ever since
Top level troll. Sad he fell off.
"Since everyone says I'm picking my opponents, Imma let ya'll pick and whoever got the highest percentage I'm fighting"
That didn't workout as well as he hoped.

What was the level of Broner's competition before Maidana?
Manny, Porter, Maidana, etc... they're all busy if not smothering fighters who aren't feather-fisted. Which is a bad matchup for a guy who is not busy, not great defensively, and not willing to exchange.
So i'd wonder if this was inevitable for Broner once he decided to move up in weight class.

Right but he lost to Mikey too who's a more calculated guy. He upped his output against Broner though as he knew that's the surest way to beat him.
Was there anything about pre-Maidana Broner that made you think he'd have beat those versions of Mikey and Porter?
Just wondering how gun-shy and low-output he was, before moving up in weight/competition

The problems weren’t as apparent cause he fought in divisions where he had a size and power advantage against most of his opponents. There were chinks on his armor and when he moved to 147 and looked kinda bad vs Paulie I already thought the improved Maidana would whoop his ass but he was still the favorire there to most ppl and I don’t think that a whole lot of people saw how his career will go astray. He was considered by many a huge talent, a “next Floyd”(duh) but he wasn’t disciplined enough and probably just wasn’t good enough to really make it.

Broner has the talent but doesn't have the mindset or discipline. If he wasn't so damn gun-shy and let his hands go, he would be elite.

LOL
welterweight ruined him
