AND REMAIN UNDEFEATED
Obviously, there are many things like who he decides to fight, robberies, what have you that may take place along the way.
Let's just say he goes up in weight and fights the nothing but top 5 ranked guys in each division. Do you think he will take a loss at 135, 140, 147, 154?
I believe he will win titles up to 147 and maybe get one at 154, BUT I think he will take a loss somewhere down the road. IMO, at 147 by the time he gets there, he will have a lot of company. IMO, he will stay at 135 long enough for the guys at 140 to move to 147.
What say you?
154 vs the right opponent similar to Floyd. I dont think he can get in there and fight big 160 lbs that will eventually move up to 168 and 175 but he can definitely get a title from a former 147lb who moved up to 154 (like floyd did with oscar, cotto, and maybe canelo)
SMH, I'd love to see Broner in against Bradley, Pac, Abregu, Guerrero, JMM or Alexander at 147. Let me know if either of those fights happen so I can grab up some points when Broner gets his arse whooped.
After the beatings he'll take there, he won't even bother going up to 154 to get KO'd by Canelo or Trout.
I think at 154 he would be a fatso and get KOed by good fighters that belong at that weight. The idea that fighters just keep growing their whole life is not true. Some guys are through growing at 18 and almost everyone is done growing by 25. Look at Hagler. He started as a middleweight as teenager and ended his career as a middleweight with no problems. Chris John is still winning at 126, the same weight he has always been. Bob Foster could always make 175 and he was 6ft. 3 inches. Carl Froch, Andre Ward and Mike Kessler have always fought at 168 and there are lots more examples that it is often not necessary or wise to go to a heavier weight. If Broner has no problem making 135 he could just stay and rule the lightweights for years. He could become rich and famous that way as Duran and others have done. There is no such thing as cleaning out a division because new contenders always come along.
Sorry, I read just the first part of your thread and voted 147 because I though he might beat a weak 147 pound champ like Paulie. If he has to fight the best and stay undefeated then I think at 135 maybe he could. If he goes to 140 I think Matthysse would KO him as soon as they fought. I don't see a lightweight that can beat him right now but Marquez could beat him if he was still fighting as a lightweight. So my vote really should be in the 135 column not 147.
I'll wait to see what Broner does against a fighter who can take his punches and keep coming back, before I say he'll go unbeaten as someone like Mayweather has. The first time I truly believed Floyd would go unbeaten for a long time was Corrales. When he put it on Diego, who was one of the top fighters in the world at the time, I knew he wouldn't lose for a long time to come. Just like I know Andre Ward won't lose for a long time to come either.
I've yet to see that from Broner. He's at the stage of Floyd in 98-99, making his jump into the elite.
He's like 5'8"...I don't ever see him fighting at 154. Once you hit 135 you have to start fighting man sized opponents. The irrelevant midget divisions don't matter.
Average height at that division seems to be 5'9"...You got Floyd and K9 holding titles right now They're both under that size....Canelo and Trout at 5'9"

I'm talking over the entire span of his career, which he has at least 10 maybe 15 years in him, who knows. The guys at 154 now, surely won't be there, especially the ones you named. Canelo, Thurman and Trout, will likely be at 160. K9 won't be around then.
I don't see him being able to clean out 147 in a few years without taking a loss. You have the guys there now, the 140 pounders who will be there when Broner likely is to be there, and then the wild cards like guys who come out of nowhere, and prospects who might be flying under the radar at the moment, but in 5 years time might be the next big thing.
Thats hard to tell, Im going by what I see now..depending on how his habbits are he might be at 147 pretty soon. Thurman is young and he said he will fight anyone from 147-154. I dont think Broner can beat Thurman. But Broner is technically sound..I just havent seen him in there with anyone that can bang..
He'll go to 154. The first place we could see Broner lose is 140 though.
I think as Broner goes up his style will become more defensive and less offensive which should help keep him undefeated.
Hmm..if it were to happen now..you have Canelo,Trout,K9,Thurman just to mention a few off the top of my head..I think he can fight at 154 but there is no way he remains undefeated. Just my opinion.

I see him going to 154 as well. BUT, do you think he is capable of making it there not only UNDEFEATED but fighting the top guys in each division along the way?

I can see him going up to 154..he is a pretty big guy for his weight class.
