Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Wants Marquez Clash, Talks Brandon Rios

[hitking]

Hitking... Jmm and finito Lopez are 2 of my fav fighters of all time for obvious reasons, but I'm kind of agreeing with on broner beating Marquez. I totally on what you said about difference in the application of the shoulder roll. But to me the perfect fight for broner is swift Garcia. IMO, in a perfect world for Oscar, Canelo beats cotto, stays undefeated by fighting so so guys while waiting for broner to make his way up, and turning that into a big time fight. Just my opinion fellas.

I think Canelo is, and will always be way too big for Broner.

He might be, but he might not, Saul is 5 7 1/2 broner stands at 5 7. He's got a barrel chest. He might fill out well. I'm 26 now, and have gained a substantial amount of muscle in the pass 3-4 years. That being said, I meant it as if all worked out in oscars plan, those are big $$$ signs.

Boxrec has Canelo at 5' 9 and Broner at 5' 7. They both have 71" reaches, which probably means Broner has longer arms because I'm pretty sure Canelo has broader shoulders. That said, Broner is a solid lightweight this point while Canelo is a solid jr middleweight. The problem is, they're basically the same age. Which means both will likely go another division or two north of where they are now. Canelo is eventually gonna settle as a middleweight and with the talent at 140, that's Broner's likely landing spot. Based on talent, Broner could probably be successful against most welterweights. But I don't think he can go any higher than that. These guys will like always be about 20lbs+ apart in natural weight. Anything can happen. But I'd be very surprised if that fight ever materialized.

I agree... But on a side note, Canelo is listed at 5 9 but he's def shorter then that. But, I do agree with what you said about age in relation to weight, well put sir.

[PR ESQ.]

marquez v. broner = cotto v. canelo equals toss up on what dictates the fight.
broner v. rios would not even be a contest. broner easily.

He wants Marquez but not Pacquiao? Tells me hes afraid of Pacquiao. I guess he cant deal with the style of him.

I want to see Broner unify at 135 first. That's what's wrong with boxing nowadays. Too many belt holders. Not enough champions.

I agree , the but sanctioning body make it difficult to hold all belts at once whit out them making some ridiculous demands of the fighters.

well see that Pac is fighting at 147 and will never fight below that, that makes a fight with bonner pretty much null and void .. Marguez on the other hand fights at 140 and 135

No, he actually called Pac out. Some of you are so quick to jab.

Are you now going to flip it and say that Broner doesn't deserve a Pac fight and is ducking (insert name)?
