    Burns makes the most of what he has but really he stood no chance against Adrien I thought.
    I would have picked Broner over Burns, but Burns would have given him a shed load more to think about than Reese or DeMarco did. I forgive Burns the Chelo performance as He looked all wrong in there and wasnt doing the things that got him to where he is. It was quite weird to watch, actually.

        I really wanted to see that fight, still do.

        I'd pick Broner to win but I think Burns brings some thing to the table that Broner hasn't seen.

        Size, chin, solid jab, stamina.

        It's still a fight I would like to see but despite the rumours I can't see Broner returning to 135.

            I don't know, a lot of the good Mayweather fans, and even some of the annoying ones, have taken offense to the whole, "Broner's the next Mayweather" thing.

            If Broner fights and beats the best, people will forget the personality and focus on the skills. Right now, I'm doubtful he'll do that. Mayweather was cleaning out 130 by this point in his career. Broner's done nothing like that yet he acts like he should be every bit the star Big Bro is.

              That what annoys me also.

              The difference between him and Mayweather at their respective stages of their career's is night and day.

              He's acting like he's earned the right to be amongst the best fighters in the world but he truly has not.

              He could easily have put some great notches on his belt too.

              Why not go to Japan and beat Uchiyama?

              Why not beat Salgado?

              Why not rematch Ponce De Leon?

              In fairness, he wanted the Burns fight so I can't fault him on that.

              The Vasquez situation is very Mayweather-Casamayor esque so It's hard to tell where that one went wrong.

              Point being, his resume so far is very lack luster whether his fault or not.

                That's the good thing, he's still young. He's 23 isn't he?

                That said, he wasted a lot of his career so far IMO.

Gimme a Paul Williams any day of the week. Who just fights whoever is willing to sign on the dotted line. Goes in there and gives 100%, gets his hands raised in victory, or leaves on a stretcher. And when he loses, I don't have to make excuses.
                  PW was a CW abuser too, but never shat on another guy for doing so

                    Im really sick of catch weight talk....

                    These dudes are PROFESSIONALS, so if they sign on the dotted line i dont want to hear excuses.....

                    Maybe fighters should be like floyd and actually be in shape and not cut weight to gain an advantage.......
                    Seems to have worked out for him

                      I cant see him moving back down either, he looks huge already. He may even decide to stay at 147, I wouldnt be the least bit surprised if he did...interesting as that puts him on a collision course with his dad.
