    I did at first but then I realized all the guys at 140 have fights coming up in a tourney, so no it's not.

      I don't like Broner outside the ring but in all fainess I don't see how moving up 13 lbs. from his current weight class to fight a world champion could be considered a cherry pick. Paulie may be the weakest of all the 147 pound belt holders but he is still a champion. My opinion is that Broner fighting Paulie is not a cherry pick and it's possible Broner could lose that fight.

        Well he could've at least fought someone in 140, but i understand though. He's fighting the weakest titleholder @ 147 and if he wins without problems that will possibly set up a superfight between him and Marquez before he leaves boxing. Marquez is a bigger threat than anyone at 140. I think Broner eventually move back down anyway.

          Yes it's a cherry pick, he turned down Robert Guerrero when they had their internet war, saying he was 2 weight classes above him. Pillow fist Paulie has no chance of KOing Broner, no way it goes to the scorecards, Paulie has had a good career, despite no power.

            It's skipping the tough fights at 135 and 140 to fight a shot, paper champ at 147.

              Or do you see this as an actual "STEP UP" fight for Broner??

              One thing people have to realise (and I used to make this mistake too) - it's not Broner who's cherry picking, it's GBP and Haymon. He's not at the stage of his career where he picks who he fights - his fights are getting picked for him.

              So apportion blame to Golden Boy and Haymon if you think it's a cherry pick. Which it basically is.

                The GBP/Haymon team's MO has always been to build stars out of scraps and not let such stars to fight each other.
