OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH It's going to be in Barclay's. I get to see Broner live in BROOKLYN. What a wonderful wonderful day.

The point is that 147 is a better then Division then 140 and the fact that they have 4 Top P4P fighters in their Division PROVES THAT. Your just throwing out assumptions)

When there are 8 guys to your left and 8 guys to your right and one at the far back who is weaker than ANY of the 8 guys to your left or right, you are CHERRY PICKING THE WORST FIGHTER OF THE BUNCH!!!!! Not arguable!!!

The author says Broner is skipping a140 who has a lot of "great fighters". I am sorry but there are no great fighters at 140, the actual great fighters are at 147. Mayweather, Marquez, Pacquiao then there's very good fighters like Bradley and Guerrero, Malignaggi, Maidana, Lopez, Alexander, Berto, Brook, Ortiz if he comes back to 147 in his return.

140 has good-very good fighters like Garcia, Peterson, Matthysse, Khan, Khabib, Rios, Judah, etc. There are no "great" fighters there.

What a FRAUD Broner is! FRAUDNER talks about fighting the BEST and is facing a guy who is not even a top 8 welterweight, would not even be a top 8 Junior Welterweight!!!!

Sugar Shane Mosley did it Roberto Duran did it, Broner is not close to either of those guys. I like Broner but I think it is possible that he might be jumping the gun. Then again if he wins a belt there is the potential for some really big fights out there. its just one of those things, will his speed be affected will he be able to take shots from a 147 pound guy?

Something else, Broner has been cleaning up against brawler boxer style opponents. Malignaggi is stylistically a huge shift for Broner. Plus Malignaggi has a very good jab and a size advantage, if he can control the fight with the jab and distance could be an ugly night for Broner.

Broner Just Like Mayweather; Chase Belts & Paychecks, NOT Legendary Status!

These two rubes from the hood, satisfy their egos by safe trips to the bank and collecting belts. These days, with all the multiple organizations, there's 4 or 5 champions in each division, so easy to collect a belt from some so-called champion, who really didn't have to beat anyone to gain a belt. That's not credible. Broner & Mayweather will never be considered Legends, because they never sought out the Best Of The Best while in their primes. SERIOUSLY??? Broner wants to fight Mags? Mags beat WHO for a belt? Broner could have fought Gamboa. Could have fought Rios, Maidana, Garcia, Matthysse, Marquez... he wanted to fight Mags.... LOL. Next he'll want to fight Vinnie Pazienza.

I dont remember the fight actually

He does, i just outlined how. His 2nd best win is morales and you think he;s the legit champ fighting Khan off a loss.

How is paulie better? he's old, beat nobody in years and just lost to a raw young cano and is shot

Perhaps you should refresh your memory before passing comment on it then? Most felt Morales should have got the nod in that fight.

Pauli's better because he's beaten better fighters.

Pauli's not good but he's much better than David Diaz.
