LMAO.....you are crazy man - do you watch boxing for real? All those guys can beat him, Bradley would eat Broner for lunch and make him look like a bum. The Ghost would bully Broner into the ropes and beat him to a pulp, Maidana simply knocks him out cold and Paulie dances circles around him and jabs him to pieces.

It's B.S. though. They can't REALLY make those weights. They drain themselves to make it. That's not what they are naturally. Broner really should be at 147. Bradley really should be a goddamn Middleweight or Jr. Middleweight at best. Homeboy walks around at 160/165 lbs! Weight divisions are a joke today. Haha.

At 23 Broner's not even in his prime yet. It's smart for him to stay at 135 and try to clean it out, if he's successful he'll be a mega star and he'll be getting paid $. He should be in his prime by 2014, he'll be ready for the big dogs at 140 by that time.

the anti-Broner dudes are gonna protest and say he's scared to move up in weight....but if he said he was gonna move up, they would say he's ducking the comp at 135...damned if he do damned if he don't

The only big dog at 140 is probably Lucas Matt the rest are all garbage bro. 140 might be the most overrated division in boxing right now.

There is no comp at 135 so you don't make any sense. The only comp there is a complimentary food stamp by Obama.

He will move up when he has to, remember at his age he is still not totally done maturing physically.

I'm not mad at him for not rushing to increase the odds of his career peaking at 25. Folks shouldn't expect him to go so above and beyond what they don't expect other fighters to do because he's so talented. I don't see people urging Ward to move up to face better competition. There is still some fights for him at 135 as folks have noted. Be patient.

Broner knows it's still good competition for him at 135 Burns Gamboa Abril and Vazquez are good quality fighters its mostly the Broner haters who want to see him move up to 140 right now and fight Rios Matthysse Garcia and Khan smh
