Bigger waste of talent: Andre Dirrell or Adrien Broner?

Dirrell is an actual top talent, therefore it's an easy answer.

Broner is a media hype job like most of the lower division fighters, and he has done great for himself considering how limited he is.

 

Dirrell for me.

I never was truly sold on Broner to be honest.
He does have talent don't get me wrong but not as much as everyone was flapping about in my opinion.

 

Dirrell.

He doesn't have crabs like Broner does.

 

How is this even a question? Broner has the talent to be a major player at ww. No i dont believe the bs that he is hof great potential but he does have the talent to be a top ww alongside the Brooks,Thurmans,Porters,Khans,Spences and Bradleys of the division but hes a lazy fat f.uc.k who wants to live floyds lifestyle but doesnt want to put in the work to make it happen. When you love the lifestyle more than your craft you are doomed to failure.

 

Speed does not = skill.

Neither can throw a straight punch.

Broner has yet to beat a fighter his own size.

 

What is this great talent and skill that people speak of regarding Broner?

He has fast hands.

He is moderately talented as far as world class fighters go.

 

Dirrell and let me clarify why. Andre Dirrell is an extremely talented individual and barring some issues could be a top 10 p4p guy. His potential ceiling is far higher than Broner's and none of his issues were physical, they were all mental. You can see from Broner's style that there will always be certain types that will give him trouble. A clear headed, more active through his prime Dirrell is trouble for anyone in any weightclass around him, the same can't be said for Broner, there is a clear who's who list of guys that could dominate him.

Andre Dirrell, with all the physical gifts has never held a world title despite the fact his less talented brother has. He is by far a bigger waste of talent.

 

Bump.
Has there been any news on Andre Dirrell lately? He hasn’t fought since he mentally checked out against Uzcategui.

I actually think Broner has done more than Dirrell could achieve, despite being less talented. Broner, at least, shows heart in fights from time to time and has been in entertaining fights, even when he’s getting beat up.

 

Definitely Andre Dirrell. Broner isnt exceptionally gifted like Dirrell is. He just happened to fight in a small division against a bunch of midgets that made him look like a killer.

Andre Dirrell had talents that were close to Roy Jones. I’m still a huge fan of Dirrell.

 

Broner is not talented.

 

Both are equally disappointing. Broner is a trainwreck and Dirrell is a DQ freak.

 

dirrel is a quitter. broner is better and achieved more

 

Broner

Dirrell was overrated in the immediate follow up of the Froch fight and the entirety of his hiatus. Broner had the promotional backing and following in addition to having established an on-paper resume of much greater significance before his deficiencies were in the forefront, is why Dirrell is the "bigger waste of talent," so to speak.

 

Andre Dirrell without question. Personally the most gifted fighter I've seen in person, between him, Chad Dawson, Demetrius Andrade, and Danny Jacobs, but now that I think more about it ive never seen a boxer as athletically gifted as him, not even out of the names I mentioned.

 

Dirrell, at least he is skilled somewhat while Broner is not.
