Comments Thread For: Broner Hints That He May Drop Down To 140, Even 135

Sounds like this is way of admitting he got a gift or a close call...let the guys at 140 destroy him...if he lets the fans pick his next opponent,then Matthysse is gonna spark him out...within 4-5 rounds.

he should move to 140, 147 is too big for him, he looked tiny compared to malignaggi

I really don’t care whatever Broner decides about his future. His fight last night revealed to all boxing fans that he’s nothing but a mediocre class C fighter.

Broner looked alright at the weigh in but in the ring last night he didn't appear to be a full fledged WW, he had no definition compared to how he looked at lower weights. Broner best weight for his height and size is 140

What happened to "I'll let the fans pick my next opponent"?

Fight jut happened last night. He said that but simply hinted at this which goes with the first thing anyway. Geeeez NSB

From a business standpoint, the best fight for Broner's career would be Mosley on the Floyd-Canelo undercard. Mosley is a name that casual fans recognize. And the mainstream exposure AB would get in the build-up and fighting on that card would turn him into a crossover star. Especially since he would beat Mosley impressively.

That said, as a fight fan and fan of Broner's, the fight I most wanna see right now is he and Matthysse. IMO, Lucas is tailor-made for AB. And with the hype surrounding Lucas, the manner in which I think AB would beat him would crush his haters and make message boards like this one so quiet it might put boxingscene outta business.

I thinks thats calculated, with plenty of outs, They know everyone is going to pick Mattysse or Garcia, which is already in works, (don't think anyone else at 140 will be too much of a problem) Pac is fighting in November, Bradley and JMM fight in September, won't fight Mayweather, nobody at 135 really has a shot; Maidana...not really sure if he has the speed to land the shots.

Paulie's hands are faster and he throws a helluva lot straighter than Lucas, and he couldn't land on AB. He missed 630 punches. And the ones he landed were most either grazing blows or shoe shine punches to the body. Broner would chew Lucas up if he comes in thowing all of those wide ass punches. Broner would counter him to death.

135-140 is where he should be fighting. He has plenty of time to move up. At only 5'6 and some change he won't be moving up much anyhow.

Clear as day, homies power did not carry to 147. I realize he's a protected fighter, but seeing him jumping up and down weight classes looking for tailor made opponents is a little much even for the jaded boxing fan. There is no way he's fighting Maidana which is what I was hearing before last nights fight.

Seriously, man. Maidana Broner is nonsense, of course Boner isn't going to fight Maidana. No way in hell does he take that fight.
