After the Rees figh people were talking about how much he got hit by a little guy and how he's not as good as advertised. Now moving up 2 weight classes to fight an experienced champ top 10 at 147 and it's a cherry pick. Why is he held to such high standard already with only 24 or so fights. Enlighten me

Why are people calling Broner-Malignaggi a cherry pick?

But I guess Broner is held to a different standard.

Because Paulie don't have great power...they don't want to see Broner just lose...via Decision or something like that, they want to see him lose via KO
It think Paulie is a Solid Opponent for a fighter moving up and fighting at 147 for the very first time...Broner is still in the early stages of his career, WTF is the rush, people act like this is the last fight of his career and after Paulie he will retire or something

Paulie is not top 10 at 147, he just got his ass kicked by Cano. He has shown that he cant move anymore when a young, raw, slow guy like Cano just walks up to u and gives you a pounding. Thing with me is i'd rather a guy fight a division or 2 lower against the best rather then go up and fight fringe contenders

Pretty simple really, because he's leapfrogging a stacked 140 division in order to pick up an easy belt at 147 from a fading champ.

This is a disgraceful cherrypick, Broner ducking the entire 140 division to fight the weakest ¨champ¨ at 147
because past prime Paulette shouldn't even be champion anymore, he lost to Cano in his last fight
but hey, at least this is a step up in competition from the pillowfisted midgets Broner is accustomed to fight, Paulie ain't no midget
