Comments Thread For: Broner Confirms He Will Face Malignaggi For WBA Title

pretty much, if matthyse moved up and fought k9 then everyone would say how courageous he is. this site is filled with hypocrites

Fights the weakest champion at 135, avoids a packed 140 that everyone wants to see him fight in, goes for the weakest champion across boxing? If you want to be a superstar, this is certainly not the way.

Pretty much sums it up.

He's fighting the best known opponents - that is the way.

That's how Mayweather got popular, by fighting Gatti, De La Hoya and Hatton.

What would be really ****** on Broner's part business-wise would be to fight a virtual unknown (to casuals) in Lucas Matthysse and get beat.

He better either move back down or fight the absolute best he can at 147, or this is a crap move. Considering his track record so far, he won't.

he can fight whoever he wants. shut up.

This is a great fight for Broner that puts him right in the thick of things quick because where is he gonna go from there? He'll weigh in @ 143ish then after spanking Paulie he'll fight @ 140. I don't see Broner fighting @ 147 after. Haters need to shut up cause Broner can't make Burns fight him and Gamboa is a waste of time right now.

[Joe2608]

This is a better fight than Burns or Vasquez so props for that. Though hopefully it's just 1 fight at 147 and afterwards he moves down to 140. It will be one of the biggest mass ducks in history if he bypasses the whole 140 division which is one of the best in boxing right now, and i'm a fan of Broner btw.

Wow, really? Okay, I'll play along.

No, YOU shut up, doo doo head!

This is cool, I feel like I'm 6 years old again.

[Money_May]

If there were no decent fights to be made at 135 or 140 I wouldn't mind this fight. But there good fights at 135 and tough true challenges at 140. For this reason at this moment in time Broner is just picking up paper titles.

Matthysse is too p*ssy to fight at 147.

Rios is too p*ssy to fight at 147.
