Comments Thread For: Photo: Broner, Malignaggi Confrontation at Barclays

I am really digging the boxing vibe these past and upcoming weeks. Back to back weekends of great fights, tempers are hot, guys getting tested in the ring, wild weigh ins. Loving it!!

Broner could have man'd up and fought Maidana, Rios, Alvarado, Peterson, Berto, Devon Alexander, Provo... INSTEAD he chooses some slug, who leads with his chin, one dimensional, cuts easily, has beaten NOBODY, and is no better than a Friday Night Fights fighter on ESPN. Mags will look more ****** than he is, when Broner dances around and carves him up like a Thanksgiving turkey.... Mags has NO chance, and Broner has NO chance is he signs up to fight a legitimate fighter, like the beforementioned.

Did all of these guys that you just named for Broner already have other fights planned or had just fought whenever Broner vs Paulie negotiations was starting? I don't really care for Broner, but I doubt any of those names would have been legitimately ready to fight in June.

And why should he fight Berto for any reason????

Several top 140 pounders, 135 pounders, and 147 pounders were available and he passed them up to fight a guy EVERY top 135/140/147 pounder would be favored to beat! He fought the weakest fighter of the bunch, just like the unknown and hapless Vicente Martin Rodriguez for a title!! Rodriguez who has since gone on to such fame as being knocked out by another unknown like Rodriguez, Sergio Javier Escobar.

Good hype. **** fight.

8 rounds to 4.....Mags!

I don't understand why people are against this fight. To me, Paulie is looking much better since getting beat to smithereens by Khan. I'm looking forward to Paulie vs Broner and this time I'm rooting for Paulie to put a beat down on the CANdyman.

I think its a legit fight Paulie didn't look good against Cano but in the Senchenko fight he looked great jabbing boxing moving Broner has never faced a boxer like Paulie he'll provide a good test for Broner

[Mr. Philadel]

Broner told Paulie that he **** with a b1tch he know....Paulie said so what...I share my b1tches anyway

You are talking nonsense. First off, all of the fighters that you mentioned already had fights lined up when Bronner choose Malignaggi. Second, Bronner has a snowball's chance in hell of fighting Rios, Alvarado, and Provo because they are Top Rank Fighters. Bob Arum has stated numerous times that he will not do business with Golden Boy.

If Broner does not fight an opponent who is in his prime after Malignaggi, then you can say he is avoiding fighters.

Malignaggi is not a bad opponent. He is not in his prime but he is still a viable option. People hate on Malignaggi only because he lacks punching power. Punching power isn't a requirement to become a successful boxer.
