Boxing history is filled with fighters with more problems than potential. Broner is just another in a long line. Hopefully he doesn't go the Pavlik route and become a "has been" before he ever was...

Let's look at it differently: Broner is an afro-american with no education, no manners, mucho bravado, who has been arrested many times AND is still alive! He kind of contradicts the whole "black lives matter " movement on his own... which in itself is quite something, or not nothing.

He will be in the same boat as the guys you look at through time and you say he should have never done such and such. Aaron Hernandez just died no less than a week ago, and if you really think about it he is a perfect example of wasted talent and opportunity. Many people do not get a chance to make it out of the hood and instead of saying let me leave this gang life alone he stayed around and paid the ultimate price for it, his freedom.
Adrien is closely similar to this simply because he wont stop being an idiot and keeps on living his life in this unadulteratedly ****** way. He tries to fight like Floyd but he isn't the best at switching from offense to defense and on top of that, he just refuses to stop getting connected to street/thuggery shyt and its unfortunate.

Put things this way.
If my children were to ask me about Paulie Malignaggi, I would say he wasn't a big puncher but he had a respectable career. He always gave it his all, even if his all just wasn't enough.
If my children were to ask me about Broner, I would say that he was fool who didn't focus on his craft. People saw him as the next Mayweather but they were wrong. Depending on how old they are, I'd laugh about him getting humped by Maidana.
At the end of the day, he's not a great fighter. You don't have to be a great fighter to remembered favourably but he simply has not earned that with his performances and conduct.
