Ok now the people getting mad at Broner for going str8 to WW..did you get made at Mosley for skipping 140??did you get mad at Manny for fighting 1 fight at 135 and 1 at 140 and going straight to 147??
I think everyone can agree that, while beating DLH the first time was one of his best wins, skipping 140 was a terrible move for Shane Mosley. After beating DLH, Shane went 1-4 (and one NC) not long after that. He missed out on a lot of legacy by skipping 140, and if he had taken the time to grow into 147 from 140 instead of jumping up, things might have played out a lot differently.
He should have dropped back down after beating Oscar, but he wasn't going to give up that damn belt. Broner will do the same thing.
I don't get why he's being rushed to 147 Pounds. You know what actually I do get it. Since Mayweather burned HBO for time GBP sees this as a chance to push thier version of Mayweather and build a PPV star.
Broner imo shouldn't skip 140. He's only 23 years old. It's too early. Yeah Paulie is a winnable fight but it's a cherrypick. And I love Paulie I always thought despite his persona he was a tough guy he's not going to lay down for Broner and I think he can actually be a good test for Broner but imo it's too early.
I guess GBP/HBO wants to build him up on PPVs with a WW title and hope that another young fighter gets hot to make a mega fight. I don't think they're too interested in fighting the 140 pounders. Uness one of them gets hot like a Danny Garcia or Keith Thurman.
This could come back to bit all them in the ass if Broners body isn't ready to handle power from legit Welterweights.
Broner gets out jabbed by Paulie and wins a crooked SD to get the belt then he claims he has 147 on lockdown. He gets called out by the other top dogs there and drops back down to 135 and fights Burns.
But guys, Paulie has won 2 of his last 5 fights by stoppage! He's a new man now! A one-man wrecking machine who's on the up! What a fight this will be!!!1!!1!
Broner may walk around at 150 something but I dont really see him beating anyone at 147 besides maybe Paulie. I think he will have to change up his style to compete with the top 10 guys at 147.
