    As do I, but it would be the best weight to control the ridiculous weight issues constantly coming up these days.

      I don't know how Floyd got into the conversation, but oh well...

      It's just funny how Broner's fans eat up the can man stuff, but when he can't, they stop eating.

        When your boxer misses weight, posters say " Well he missed weight no big deal. I hope it doesn't affect his performance, he should be given more time to rehydrate because it's dangerous for his health."

        Posters, be fair. Stick with one side you can't have both.

        I like Broner, and he's not a fat ass- but I find it super unprofessional to be on the come-up, an unproven fighter establishing himself, and not making weight.

        I do think it's worse than, say, an older, veteran fighter who just can't get his body down to a weight and ***s up on the scales....

        But that might just be me.

        I do look at the fighter and the circumstances in question.

          I know what u mean in hindsight. I don't like how people always compare the two but they are similar in MANY ways it's undeniable. But Broner missing weight has nothing to do with Floyd, I feel people just look to trash them at any chance, not u but others. That is not what I was doing. I just wanted to let u know Floyd missed before just in case u honestly didn't know.

            all that neds to be said is whenever a fighter doesnt make weight i dont care who they are, broner, floyd, manny, rios, morales etc. its unprofessional. whatever the reasons are, they didnt train, they should have moved up, etc. its still their responsibility. it happens a lot nowadays tho, and i think its to the point where its becoming easy to excuse. shouts to the ppl who call any and every fighter out on not making weight, but thats not most of the ppl on here tho. which is a shame.

                    The fight was posed to be at 130..... Its not.... Props to Escobedo for taking it..... I'm sure money has something to do with it but if I was in his shoes I wouldn't take the fight.....

                      Broner didn't make weight on purpose because Mayweather didn't.
