    Definitely the best fight right now for Broner. It would be his real test at 147 to see if he can be elite. I think it would be a slugfest. 50/50 fight. Broner might be too fast or Maidana will be too big and tough.

      Sebastian Contursi (Maidana's advisor) had a meeting with Schaeffer a couple of days ago. He said they already made an offer to fight Broner and that GBP accepted it. They are waiting Al Haymon to anwser, probably next week we got some news.

        Broner just came up from lightweight. He was at Jr lightweight just last year.

        His body still has to adjust to the weight. Its no easy feat to go up three weight classes in one year and bring KO power right off the bat.

        Manny couldn't KO De La Hoya in his first fight at 147. And DLH was emaciated.

        The Ghost Guerrero couldn't KO Berto in his first fight at Welter either.

        Give AB time...

        I don't know, my man. I think Broner either lacked the skill to finish off Paulie or he lacked the heart to do so. None of us know whether or not Broner could have done it, but he never really seemed to try and I think Floyd said as much himself. Both Hatton and Khan phucked Paulie up, and at no point did Broner. I expected more to be honest.

        And the weight thing, other than fighters being a bit bigger and being more used to taking bigger punches, I don't see the weight climb being that big of a deal. Broner is bigger and obviously stronger than Paulie and imo, it was Broner who was the bigger man with the power - not Paulie.

        And regarding Pac and Oscar - lol - Oscar stayed on the stool or he would have eventually been carted out of that ring on a stretcher in a coma.

        And the Ghost phucked up Berto and put him on the deck, as did Ortiz right after he moved up.

        And one last thing, Broner didn't go up 3 weight classes, he barely went up 2. Broner is a natural WW and that is why he can't make weight at 135 anymore.

        Phuck the excuses.

          If broner can use his speed and get away from maidana's crazy power then broner UD. But maidana's a beast and has improved a lot if maidana lands its light out.

            Broner looked like crap vs pauli.....

            Broner will fight zab or mosely next, or go down to 140 and fight peterson for his belt... It would be his 4th title in 4 divisions, and his fanboys will love that....

            I highly doubt we get the maidana v broner fight next...

              Maidana has a beast of a jab when he uses it.

                Lots of camps are challenging Broner!! They think he's a hype job and feel that they will be the first to apply pressure on him.
                OH yeah................their purse for the fight will be their BEST! MOST!!
                Maidana needs a Broner, Broner doesn't need him, this is pro boxing for MONEY try to keep that in mind! This isn't a tournement where the winners fight each other! Its punch for dough! Ray.

                    So since you don't think weight climbing is that big of a deal, how do u think Mikey Garcia would do against Devon Alexander this year at 140?

                    You think Mikey would bring his power up three weight classes and blast out a light hitting
                    Jr Welterweight?

                      I like Mosley in a Broner fight. He beats Zab though imo.
