Comments Thread For: Arum: Broner is Mediocre, Not Competitive With Pacquiao

[radiotracer]

Sure Bobby..but Alverado is??? and Rios??? I'd take Broner vs Bradley though.

I got bradley on that. Broner is another alvarez hype job.

But rios wasnt?

Rios is better than Broner

that's right Arum, that °°°°ing African is mediocre.

I think they're equals. Both of them had their major successes at what, 135 lbs?

Sure Arum speaks the truth but he'd be singing a different tune if Broner was with Top Rank. He talks about competitive fights after putting Manny in the ring with Rios? Rios was exposed by Alvarado and Abril. Didn't stop Arum at all.

rios was a comeback fight for pac after the ko. Not the fastest but a brawler which is just as risky after a ko loss. Even then it was a comeback fight after a year off for pac.

Sad that more deserving fighters aren't being mentioned for big fights because they don't do the whole buffoonery schtick.

Rios has better names on his resume..Broner's biggest win is a disputed decision over a past prime Paulie

Marcos Maidana > Rustico Torrecampo.

Broner wasn't ''exposed'' vs Maidana, he finished the fight on his feet with a broken jaw and prior to the second knock down he was putting rounds in the bank.

Broner vs Pacquiao is more intriguing than all the recycled opponents Arum can throw at Manny right now, Marquez will not do a 5th fight (thank god), Alvarado and Rios are nobodies, Provodnikov says he won't fight him, and a 3rd Bradley fight would sell worst on PPV than the second one, Pacquiao is out of fresh opponents that will spark the public's interest, Broner would definitely help Pacquiao make his biggest PPV sales ever, one thing he knows how to do is sell a fight and he already started by calling him out.

Pacquiao's future looks poor if he remains at Top Rank. Floyd is being asked to take out all the young lions (Maidana, Thurman, Porter, Garcia, Khan, Golovkin, ..) while people are content with Manny and his worthless rematches marathons, I'm starting to think Manny stays with Arum to avoid the burden of having to take on this young batch of boxers on the scene, it's safer at Top Rank for Poochiao.

Manny just defeated a young, prime, top#4 pnd-4-pnd Bradley, it just so happens that TR now has a much thinner line of WW/LWW boxers as compared to GB. Maybe after the truce settlement between TR and GB, Manny will finally have a crack at those young guns from GB..
