Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Broner is Everything That is Wrong With Boxing

[samouraļ]

I hope Paulie puts up a good fight at least and doesn't get embarrassed by Broner. I don't think Broner has proven he can deal with adversity yet but I hope Paulie at least tests that tomorrow.

When you claim opponents are easy work, you should be willing to back it up.

Claiming the top fighters are easy work and then fighting duds instead isn't the way to go about things.

there is no way possible for broner to fight matts now given matts had the petersen fight.

you didn't address the post. if a poster says broner is garbage cool. but then that same poster evaluates his fights as if he's very good. why doesn't the evaluation of the fights he takes jive with what the poster says about broner?

Lets see, since 2010, Mathysee has fought top notch fighters in Judah, Alexander, Soto, and top contender Olusegun and Broner has fought Litzau, Reese, Escobedo, and a small PDL. That shows who is willing to fight top notch fighters and who is not. Team Broner has ONE shot after this fight to prove he will take on the best and if Team Broner chooses another career builder to protect himself, he will go down the drain.

Broner is 22 matts is 30. Broner was fightin his 20th pro fight matts his 28th.

Matts also fought Mike Dallas Jr who was a replacement for Hank Lundy who got hurt-the same Hank Lundy who people said Broner couldn't move up to fight b/c it was a cherrypick. oleusegun hadn't fought in over a year.

and even though you cut it off my question still stands-if you say broner is garbage why do you evaluate who he fought as if he's very good?

I didn't say Broner is garbage in the ring....but he is garbage outside the ring. And I don't care what age they are or the number of fights - what matters is who they fought when they were ranked and that is not up for debate. Mathysee fought the far better fighters at the same point when they were ranked and or fighting for world titles. And it is a piss poor argument to use Lundy because Lundy has never been more than a plan B if the top guys refused to fight Mathysee.

No, actually Pac jumping two weight divisions to fight Oscar was far more respectable! Most said Oscar was Cherrypicking a midget in Pac......no one is saying Pauli is Cherrypicking.....it is the other way around because Oscar was seen as a HUGE favorite, unlike Pauli who is not.

I wouldn't touch this fight, in fact I will probably fall asleep watching it.
Now next week GGG vs Macklin different story. Back on topic, how do you get those points anyway? I could use a million or so..

i think broner is actually doing a good job. ppl can pan his opponent choice all they want but one fight that sets up a even bigger fight with maidana, is definitely worth it. he has his whole career to go, he hasnt ducked anyone but yet ppl act as if he has.
