    He looks like he's carved out of stone at WW, and weighed 156 tonight.
    Yes, and you don't see a problem with this? He's not packing on muscle he's just gaining fat. He's still young he should go down to 140.

      Maidana says he has power and he obviously has a good chin so no reason to move down. Just rebuild at 147 and get his belt back

        He weighed 156 tonight. He's a welterweight alright but he can probably make 140.

        But 140 isn't going to be easy.

          Are you being ignorant on purpose, or are you trolling?

              He's too small and lacks the firepower at 147.

              Problem is, I don't think he can fight any lower than 147.

              If he doesn't become a busier fighter he's going to have issues with the better fighters.

              Broner has fantastic skills, I wouldn't be in a hurry to count him out just yet.

                He needs to improve his footwork more than anything. The weight class wont matter if he keeps fighting like he did tonight.

                  He and his handlers wanted to shoot him right up the weight classes when they should've just built him up gradually. He should've stayed at 135, cleaned that up and then moved to 140. He bit off more than he could chew stepping to 147. Now that he's gotten his reality check, hopefully he decides to move down because his skill-set nor his body are fully developed yet for WW. Although he was 156, Chino clearly looked bigger.

                    No he doesn't he outgunned fighters with his size advantage at lower weights, he looked good because everything coming back didn't hurt him.
