Right now they just words, like him calling everyone and there momma out.

Until he does it no sense in taking pride over what if's.

I really believe BRONER is saying the truth,nobody at 140 can beat him or give him problems;if ABRIL outboxed RIOS...well BRONER will play with him;GARCIA was losing vs KHAN before the KDS and TKO....well GARCIA will not hit BRONER but he will get hit;perhaps KHAN is the only one that can give him a good fight but he will lose.BRONER has to move up to welterweight division like GUERRERO did!!!THE BIG DOGS ARE IN W.D.!

Sounds like Broner is NOT like Floyd.

Maybe he's a warrior who isn't afraid of taking on all challenges.

People are getting gassed over the 140 pound division.

It's very top heavy, there's a load of promotional barriers to make certain fights happen and there are plenty of great fights that need to be made as the division stands today.

Broner's only realistic options for a big fight at 140 are Garcia, Khan, Peterson and Matthysse. The only two that make financial sense to make the move today are Garcia and Khan but those two have plenty of unfinished business to take care of before they start worrying about Broner. Those fights can wait for another year or two.

Then you have to consider the fighters that are planning to make moves to 147. The landscape at 140 can very much look completely different by the time Broner gets there.

I like Broner.....but we all know his record should be 25-1. He lost that fight to Daniel Ponce De Leon.

Garcia decapitates Broner. Khan 50/50. His chin is too whack. If he boxes form the outside, it's over.

Khan 50-50? Has Khan ever lost to a naturally smaller fighter then himself? The answer is no. Broner is about 5'6 and a lot slower then Khan is. Khan would put Broner in his place, and quick.

I said 50/50 because of his chin. As many times as he's been rocked, he might be damaged goods against hard punchers at this point.

I still think Khan beats him though.

All depends on how he looks at 140 and what improvements he makes over the next 1-2 years. We haven't seen everything that Broner has in his arsenal because he's been able to physically impose his will on the fighters from 130-135.

I think we will see some new wrinkles in his game if he fights the winners of Burns/Vasquez and Abril/Bogere this year.
