Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Must Weigh 140 or Less in The Morning

[Njord777]

Marquez fight was at 144 and Floyd was 146

That's a very recent fight after he'd already established himself as a P4P best. I'm referring to his early career- like the stage Broner is at.


To my knowledge, that never happened.

You people dunno how to read or choose not to. He said EARLY in his career...

Besides the jmm I don't think Floyd has missed weight.

I'm genuinely curious - which fight in Floyd's early career did he come in overweight for?

i never said anything about early in his career. the only fight he came over the contracted limit was marquez.

pac had done it numerous times in his early caeer. ppl dont seem to know this tho.

I almost want to bet that he won't make it, and the fight will still go on when Broner basically says, "The f*** you going to do about it?"

Thanks man, he probably just missed it.

The point I'm trying to make is people draw comparisons between Adrian and Floyd basically because they're **** talking, quick black American fighters.

In reality, I think this further distances the two as very different creatures. When Floyd was on the come-up, back at 130, etc. He never would have come in overweight. He's a consummate professional.

Marquez fight, which is recent, withstanding, he's a very dedicated athlete who usually comes in LIGHTER than he needs to, like in the De la Hoya fight.

oh well i didnt get that. probably because u said "floyd never did that, especilally early in his career".

bad wording.

Right, I hear you - but I specifically was talking about Floyd when he was on the come up like Broner now is. I think it's a revealing stage of the fighter's career.

Same day weigh ins would alleviate this frequently occurring problem.

So Broner has to give up $60k of $300k purse for missing weight. Tarver is only penalized $2,500 dollars of his $1.1Million for using steroids.

Anybody see anything wrong with this?

one advantage shouldn't supersede another...seeking an advantage outside the rules of boxing is cheating - they should be fined an equal percentage or fined and stipulated...stipulations decided by 1 supervisory commission based on the illegal advantage sought and committed...as you can see, there's a lot boxing can do to equalize/moderate the sport...this conversation would find its way into a fantasy thread, if not already.
