    I agree with you completely.



    Yeah, but the reason Broner is getting **** for the Paulie fight is because he is avoiding an entire weightclass of fighters who would test his abilities. Not only test, but give him the hardest fights of his career thus far. And there is just so many possibilities at 140 for him, especially being a GBP fighter.

    Instead, he ops for a fight with Paulie, who is in the later stages of his career and often referred to as feather fisted. Why not take the fights that will challenge him? I hope Paulie wins all day. Not only because I love Paulie, but because it will serve him right for thinking he could get a payday and easy fight instead of making the natural and logical move to 140.



    But my mention of Broner was more about fans than him tbqh.

    I see more people defending Broner's legging choices and dancing than respecting Bradley's fighting abilities. To me that's just ******ed.
    What about if Broner moves down to 140 after his fight with Malignaggi?

    I think that's an inevitable move for him.

      It is nothing he can do to win those fans over so he shouldn't even be trying to do so, he went out and took unnecessary punishment and for what? So come the next day fans still complain and hate him more and say he got his a$$ kicked and to say he has no defense and he has a weak chin?

      It wasn't worth it! You just have to tell those fans to go *** themselves and just go out and continue to fight your style and your way and who ever don't like it they don't have to watch

      They want to see you change your style and get away from what you do best because they want to see you lose! He was talking all week about Bernard Hopkins and all that **** but then come fight night he got suckered into a brawl with a brawler trying to impress fans that don't give a **** about him

      BUT that fight may have gotten him another Big Pay Day with probably JMM so it may end up being worth it despite the negativity from some Bitter Fans

      Boxers need to stay away form the Online Stuff, don't read any of that stuff because if you do it can effect the way you fight as seen with Bradley

        It's like I said when the fight was first announced; as long as he moves back down I have no problem with him fighting someone bigger than him that is 2 weight classes north. It's not like Pauli is going to be drained, at some disadvantage or half dead from making a weight he hasn't made in nearly a decade.

        The fight is not going to be as easy as people are making it out to be. Pauli can box. He has speed and is just over all bigger than Broner. These are all feats Broner hasn't had to deal with all at once. To top it off Broner isn't even trying to get weight advantages like other fighters did when moving up to WW to fight for their first WW title.

        I'm actually looking forward to the fight and Broner shouldn't be looked at as some legend for taking the fight but he surely shouldn't be bashed especially if he moves back down and ends up fighting the 140 guys anyway. If he does, will people then say he's cherry picking "smaller" fighters?

          Yes, yes, ***ing yes!

          What's the point though?

          Why move up just to move right back down?

          So if he beats Paulie he's gonna do what with the title? Never defend it? I don't see him fighting at two weight classes at the same time. He doesn't have the discipline.

          And before Broner's bfs come in here and **** my thread with 'you lyin doe' he has willfully disrespected his opponent in the past in terms of weight. Twinkies and chesseburgers don't lie. There is no way he is going to actively maintain two separate wc.

          He's not Floyd. Period.

            The only time I see Bradley get hated on is when he says things like "I rewatched the fight with Pac and felt I won 8 rounds to 4". Now of course the judges are to blame for those erroneous scorecards but cmon Tim. Saying things like that make him look delusional and in denial about the fact he really lost that fight. Besides that I dont really see all hate towards Bradley that you mention. Especially after last night. Now some feel the fight was either a draw or should have been called for Ruslan but that's all debatable. Tim put on a gutsy performance and earned many people's respect.

              Yeah tbh it's unfortunate, I feel for Bradley. He trains like a mad man fights with heart and skill. I think people's main issue was the PAC robbery. Also another close fight went his way last night.

              The hate is undeserved. However I still believe he's not a top 10 P4P fighter. Top 20 sure but not top 10.

              Anyway, yeah I feel he gets too much hate.

                By no means do I think this is an easy fight for Broner, Broner however, thinks this is an easy fight for Broner.

                I just don't see the point of him jumping up two weight classes, then coming back down. It's just illogical to me. Why he wouldn't try to get in on the winner of Garcia Judah, Peterson Matthysse etc is beyond me.

                I would love it if Paulie takes his 0

                  You lost any credibility when you said Bradley/Pac was close,it wasn't

                  Bradley is a headbutting little rat,he ducked khan like the plague,got beaten up by pac and acted like he won,now he goes life and death with an average provodnikov

                      I think he just wants to grab Paulies title while he still has it. GBP know he won't keep it long and I presume it's in their plans.

                      I'm guessing he wants to do something like go up 2 weight classes, win the title, move back down and win a title. Some sort of milestone like that.

                      I don't believe he intends to stay at 147. Return there? Yes. But not stay there for now.

                      I believe he'll go down to 140 and stay there for a while then return to 147.

                      Time will tell.
