    There have been many young guns with a **** load of potential fall short of their expectations for a number of different reasons. To say Broner has already made it or that he's already a key player in the sport is ******ed. He's a young talent that deserves to be on the radar of ones to watch for. He's still got a lot to prove and he can't be pushed too fast or face what many other young talented fighters went through... which was a shortened career and not fulfilling the expectations that were set for them.

    he is accepted. there are others that wont ever accept him. mostly because they dont like the way he acts. but that really has nothing to do with how good he is at boxing. im not quit sold on him yet. i wanna be because i really like him. but the ponce fight worries me. ponce will do that 2 u . he can make u look bad , but still broner lost that fight. but got the gift. it seems broner improved leaps and bounds from that an in a rematch i think broner would smash him and i think its sumthing he should do n i think there is a chance he will if the fans ask for it, but i dont think its nething the fans wanna see but i would like to see it , so i can get sum answers.

    if not ur 22 . u can tell by interviews that he wants to stay at the weight he is at i think he willl have like 2 or maybe 3 more fights at his current weight before hes pretty much forced to move up. there arent ne big names in his division but there are very good fighters but the weight he is at just has no star power or no one that would make a mega fight . real boxing fans no though at the weight he is at there are fights for him in that class and i think eloy was a very worthy opponent and broner pieced him up baddd. n has fought good enough comp for a 22 yr old. besides the guy before eloy all his fight been agasint good guys. he got the gift vs ponce n ko'd litzau

    keep winning and Ko'ing people. HE NEEDS TO KEEP ACTING LIKE HE IS ACTING. PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION AND THEY ARE GOING TO LOVE THEM OR HATE HIM. TO BE A HUGE STAR YOU HAVE TO EVOKE EMOTION IN THE CASUAL FANS

    I cant speak on what happened to other fighters nor are those my intentions. A lot of people dont know what potential is. If they fell short then they must have been missing something. I dont know and dont care. What I am sure of, is that Broner has all the key ingredients and the only thing that will stop him from reaching the top is sudden death. I never stated that he had arrived at the top but what I will say is that at 130 , he is very much a key player. He just got there but cant nobody in that weight including champions lay claim to being the best unless they go through him. Also, there is a big difference from having potential and being gifted. Broner is gifted.:bbb:bbb

    Keeping winning in impressive fashion, and do so against legitimate contenders/champions at the weight. Unify at 130lbs, if at all possible. Offer the fighter who gave him the toughest night of his professional career a rematch if that isn't.

    Doing these things will earn Broner the respect of at least some of the fans who are still on the fence about his ability to become an elite, p4p level competitor in this sport. He'll probably always have some detractors, but taking this approach certainly couldn't hurt.

    A lot of the time what's missing doesn't reveal itself until they reach a certain level.....or they are rushed into fights they are not ready for and ends up destroying a once promising career.

    Broner has a lot of key elements that make his chances to reach the highest levels of boxing......but so did so many other highly touted prospects before him. In boxing no one has a gurantee to become a champion or to live up to great expectations for blue chip prospects.

    At 130 there aren't many elite level guys....their all above or below his weight class...Jones had a similar problem at 175 when he was dominating B level opposition incredibly easy for years.

    Broner is gifted.... He also has a lot of potential thanks in part to those god given gifts.

    Broner knows what he needs to do. Beat John in dramatic fashion, same with a Linares or M. Vasquez. And then an elite like Rios or Gamboa. A close fight with those 2 is understandable, but anyone else he's going to have to look great against to prove a point. That he belongs in Rios and Gamboas level.

    Keep winning.
    Grow up a little bit -- which probably won't happen if he keeps winning.
    Have an absolute war, preferably against a Mexican fighter.

    Quit all that organ-grinding dancing when knocks down his opponents, for one.
