lol @ Broners statement regarding being on the Floyd/Maidana undercard...

he struggled against one of the lower top guys in paulie, and easily the weakest champ at that time. paulie a guy with no power showed that with movement stick behind a jab can give broner big problems since he stands stationary and is low volume. he was able to get thru that cause paulie isnt a puncher at all and broner has good pop and was the more skilled fighter
90% of people thought broner would beat maidana, whos slower then broner and comes forward to play into broner counter punching. but maidana who is not a great boxer easily out worked and out hustled broner the entire fight. paulie and maidana are not on the elite level of 147, so right now i cant see how u could even say broner will be back unless of course you are talking about beating up on the lower level competition. which looks like he probably will do for a whileComment

Thats why i said im interested to see how he reacts mentally to the loss. He looked lazy and his arrogance showed. Especially at 147 where he looked bloated. Losing to maidana was a set back for him and who knows maybe hell never live up to his potential cause of this but to say hes not good is ridiculous.he struggled against one of the lower top guys in paulie, and easily the weakest champ at that time. paulie a guy with no power showed that with movement stick behind a jab can give broner big problems since he stands stationary and is low volume. he was able to get thru that cause paulie isnt a puncher at all and broner has good pop and was the more skilled fighter

Say what you want about paulie but he has never had power and has somehow hung around cause of his craftiness so hes not an easy opponent.Comment

thurman would stop broner.

i've always felt that team maidana also made the right call in keeping him out of the ring with thurman. that was a signed fight, if memory serves right.Comment

you're right, i respect paulie i call him a lower top tier guy because well i dont think hes elite at all lol. yea he has no power but he moves well, not as well as he used to. also a great jab.Thats why i said im interested to see how he reacts mentally to the loss. He looked lazy and his arrogance showed. Especially at 147 where he looked bloated.

paulie and maidana like i said are prolly top 10 guys but not in the elite level. i still think that broner has talent and great attributes and can fit into that top 10 caliber but not the elite. i feel now that i was fooled and i admit i fell into the hype train for broner. i shouldve learned from the paulie fight that he just wasnt going to be the next big thingComment

you may be right... but to be fair i never liked calling a duck when the fighter moved on to face a better opponent. i just cant say maidana is ducking anyone when hes fighting the best p4p... lol
like when tim fought manny in 2012 and passed on khan, ppl like to say tim ducked yet he went to fight a better fighter. not even using the money excuseComment

Not sure it was signed but a blantant duck that most people seem to forget or didn't know about.Originally posted by New Englandthurman would stop broner.
