    Broner fighting Khan on Mayweather's undercard is a bad move for him

    The only upside is he'd get a nice pay day.

    He'd basically be positioning himself even MORE as Mayweather's b1tch. Now, his gatekeeper. He went from supposed to be ABView to fighting on MayPerView. Bad move if he wants to carve out his own legacy/brand.

    Second, Khan is probably a more dangerous fight than a Maidana rematch at this point. Khan's speed and in/out boxing style would give Broner all types of problem based on the way he fights.

    They seem to want to put Broner back in with a solid contender vs. a tune up. If that's the case, he's in a very tough spot and we may see another AB repeat (Andre Berto).

    Amir Khan - Dangerous fight. In/Out, Speed could out box Broner to decision
    Malignaggi - Interesting, but he's already beat him. Gains little.
    Matthysse - Gains litte since he coming off loss. Dangerous fight too.
    Lamont Peterson - They probably won't fight due to friendship. Would be solid win.
    Danny Garcia - Doubt Haymon would make this fight yet. Dangerous fight.
    Keith Thurman - Dangerous fight. Would be a solid victory to put him back on map
    Shawn Porter - Would be solid fight. Wouldn't gain all that much. Some what dangerous.

    Stylistically, most of the guys on this list would give Broner a problem due to his seemingly inability to adjust much.

    We are going to learn a lot more about Broner in his next fight than his last one...

      Well if all of them are dangerous fights and Broner is too afradi of losing again maybe he should stick to rap.
      But I disagree, Broner beats the shit out of Khan. Its actually a good fight for him although Matthysse would be even more exciting and it has a more intersting background given that he's a friend of Maidana and Broner insutled both on twitter.

        Doesn't look like it's going to happen anyway.

            Stephen Espinoza seems adamant it's not going to be happening next.

              You all seem to forget that Broner has speed also, plus he has power in both hands granted he may not throw enough punches. I think he's learned his lesson after the Madiana beatdown. With Khan's extremely weak chin, he'll be tasting the canvas.

                Well that sucks. Probably golden boys doing. They are gonna have to place Khan in with someone tho. They need to stop setting him up for an easy way to a Floyd fight.

                  If not Broner I would have liked to have seen Shawn Porter but I don't think that can happen either because of the Brook mandatory.

                    This off topic, but the guy who played Cyrus in the Warriors passed away last week.
