    So in other words you just want him to be thrown to the wolves and start jumping weight classes like Manny Pacquiao? I think you really can't understand the concept of Broner being pretty new to the sport and needing time to season. Seems like you need to be patient, we live in a new age where EVERY fight is so important. It's not the old school boxing times where guys fought 10 time a year and 1-3 losses ever so often didn't affect you as much as today. Also, you don't know how good those divisions are going to be in a few years, good fighters sometimes emerge from nowhere and division's competitiveness shift from time to time. I definitively see him fighting Gamboa in a MEGA fight at 135 in the future, it's inevitable.

      Thank you. I think the thing about Broner people are really picking on isn't height or weight, it's talent. Scary talent. So they wish they could rush him, somehow prop-block him saying he fights at an advantage, etc... Fact is, the one fight i saw he looked awesome. Power, speed and skills. Need to see him in bigger fights and we might just have a great fighter in the making.
      exactly, they see his skills and his "persona" and are like oh **** we got another mayweather, lets figure out a way to criticize him or search for reasons to not consider him great. at the end of the day though he will rise to the top, even at this point I don't think he would lose to anybody from 130-140 .... ya I said it...

        no. he would beat gamboa. too big, nearly as fast, more technical, more skilled, way better defense, more power. this fight will prolly happen so you will get to see don't worry.

          I didnt say I want to see him thrown to the wolves, I said I dont wanna see him fighting overmatched bums, in weight classes that have NO TALENT...HIS WHOLE CAREER, HE WILL BE FIGHTING IN CLASSES WHERE HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS TALANT...Ur so stuck up his ass, u hate to admit Im right...sure, new fighters come out of the woodworks, but thats not promised..he needs to go to a division where he can fight guys his own size, or go to a class that has talented fighters...He's moving at a horrible pace if u ask me...Anyone who supports Broner, and him fighting on little bitty babies, is a fake joke

            He looks like a cruiser weight in that pic..He looks 20lbs heavier than alexander..lol. I hope he moves up cause he is just playing with people right now, to fast and to strong, he is having to much fun in the ring even has time to dance..lol..

              the pic is grossly deceiving. (just like the TS claiming that broner is 5'9 when he's really 5'7)









              broner is barely 23 and has no problem whats so ever with making 130.........why should he move up when he just moved up to 130 five months ago hahahahaha

              The pic I showed is practically the same as the one you did showing Broner closer to his nomal looking self. Broner at times seemed a tad bigger than Devon (that one pic you showed just tellls us what we already know about Devon's mutant head lol) and Maidana. Point is we shouldn't be able to compare him to 147 pounders and have to prove he's either slightly smaller or bigger.

              Big for his division, but I also mentioned before that if he's making weight, then no issues. Doesnt change the fact he's bigger though. Like they say. Don't hate the player, hate the game. It's common to fight lower when you're younger. As you naturally gain weight/get bigger then you move up. Not just for the hell of it. Broner is better off at 130 if he wants tougher fights anyway. If Gamboa moves up, the roads will lead through Broner. Likewise for Garcia. They're better fights than he finds at 135 imo. 140 is a diff story, but he'd be ****** to run straight there.

                Uhhhh NO! Not a chance sir. He's the king when he faces AND beats Uchiyama and chances are that's not gonna happen.

                Hell, if you ask me Magdaleno and Uchiyama will run 130 IMO.

                  Just about every boxer these days if fighting lower than they could be to get a size advantage. This is what happens when you don't have same day weigh ins and stricter PED testing.

                    Why should he move up?

                    He has no big problems making weight.

                      He still has some guys to fight there. I'll skip on the Japanese dudes who don't fight outside of Japan. But there's Salgado, Martinez, Mendez and Burgos. I'd prefer the Salgado fight over the rest. I'd also like to see Broner vs Uchiyama or Ao since they have titles, but they just don't leave Japan so those fights can't happen.
                      Glad you mentioned those guys but instead they are trying to match him up vs guys ranked 20 and below.
