    Broner's footwork is really lacking. Hopefully he progresses after the Paulie fight, because even though I did have him winning 116-112, could easily see 115-113, he looked like crap.
    We think the same way on an entire host of subjects and this is just one of many. Definitely don't think as much of Adrien as I did before but maybe he will shine with some more bouts because he does look like he can be beat.

      I think everyone is available right now. Matthysse, Guerrero, Ortiz, Alexander, Garcia, Maidana... I don't see any problem making it happen.

      Anyone in the list will do it for me. He's already been exposed in his fight with Paulie, anyway. But I prefer Guerrero. But I don't think he will fight the Ghost.

        I can see why people want Broner vs Lucas, but Lucas has earned his shot at danny and wants to win a title at 140. Lucas vs Garcia should happen next.

        If Broner stays at 147 then him vs Maidana isn't a bad fight, Khan wants Devon, Ortiz doesn't deserve a title shot. Other guys are Top rank. there's berto and RG but they not amazingly better fighters than maidana IMO.

        And i doubt Broner will drop back to 135 to fight any of the 3 other Champions there.

          Considering the fact that I am betting the house on Maidana stopping him, I would love that fight to happen.

            Since you put it that way, I'd have to agree, but on general principle, I'd want him to fight Lucas.

            At the end of the day, Maidana wouldn't be the worst fight to happen.

              Why would anyone want to see Broner vs. Guerrero?

              The man is asking who he should fight, don't give him another fighter tailor made for his skill set.

              Guerrero has heart, and some power, but he doesn't have nearly enough precision, hand speed, and pop to cause significant propblems for Broner.

              Matthyse and Garcia are out, as they are supposedly working out a deal to fight each other.

              Maidana is an option, but I'd much rather see Broner take on Ruslan Provodnikov.

              In fact, if Broner takes on Provodnikov, I'll be betting heavily on Provodnikov, who would probably be about a 13-1 underdog.

              Broner seems to have a good chin, but it hasn't really been tested so far. Provodnikov will test it.

              Either way, Broner likes to relax a lot during the fight, picking his spots to be active. This gives the illusion of great stamina and conditioning, but I don't buy it.

              Provodnikov would keep the pressure on and work the hell out of Broner's body, testing both his chin and his condition.

              It's a great match-up, as Provo would undoubtedly eat a lot of hard shots as well.

              Fight of the year candidate if it happens, no doubt about it.

                There's not a person out there except broner fans who wouldn't want to see Lucas rag doll Broner and Brutally KO him.

                But i want to see Lucas win the titles off Garcia, i think it would make Lucas a huge star and make any move to 147 much bigger.

                  On that principle, yes. At the end of the day, I'd prefer Matthysse to get his shine after beating Danny, then getting a crack at Floyd.

                  perfect scenario. I'm just sayin, Broner would give him major shine as well.

                    What are the chances he actually listens to the fans?
                    I say 5% at best, he doesn't care who people think he should fight.

                      Provodnikov is Top Rank. Keep it real people.
