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

[Fr3$h]

Broner looked really poor in his last fight. He hasn't changed it up at all. Still getting caught with overhand rights, turning his back on his opponents and throwing lazy slap-punches.

Out of Mattthysee, Prov, Vargus, Kabib, Rios, Herrera, Alvarado and Garcia - Broner might beat one or two but that's it. His footwork holds him back. And his KO percent over the last 3 fights is zero.

I would like to see Maidana vs Whoweather, Rios (I know Top Rank but to show that °°°°ing African what's up) vs that °°°°ing African, Garcia vs Khan || (Garcia needs to move up now while things are heating up at Welterweight n up.) WAR MAIDANA WAR RIOS WAR GARCIA

Ok so Broner is mediocre. So what? Has that ever stopped Arum from putting those kind of fighters in front of Pac? David Diaz? Rios? If the cold war ends up being over I'd love to see Pac smash on that clown.

Even if promotional squabbles and premium-cable battles weren’t obvious obstacles, Bob Arum doesn’t think boxing consumers would be overly interested in the Manny Pacquiao-Adrien Broner bout Broner publicly discussed last week.

“As far as Broner is concerned, let’s be honest about Broner,” Arum told BoxingScene.com. “There’s all this nonsense and all this media attention that he got. The kid is a mediocre fighter. I mean, he got exposed by Maidana. And then in his last fight against Molina, a guy who can’t fight and hadn’t fought for over a year, he struggled with the guy. So, I mean, he can call out Manny and so forth. The point is, he’s not competitive with a Pacquiao.”

I agree with a Bob Arum.....

Not saying Broner beats Pacquiao but look at how Arum decides for Pacquiao.

Pacquiao is a slave, he is not his own man and will be proven he's not once he resigns with Top Rank. A mentally weak beta male let the real men take from him and control him. That's the law of nature, Pacquiao never says no, he accepts.

Are you mad at Pac Man for being a Man of his words and doing his job which is to fight? What would make you happy? Who gives a F!##. A boxer of any weight should face all the boxers at his weight not come up with a thousand excuses per second. If that the reason you dislike Pac Man then you are just a hater Period...

Fans rather see Broner get beat up by Manny than a 5th JMM fight or Alvarado

Don't forget he doesn't know how to close his mouth in the ring. Still pulls back with his chin in the air. I agree with your post. This kid needs a new trainer in my opinion. He also needs to improve his footwork and counterpunching.

Fans want to see Broner vs anyone who can possibly kill him.

I hear you loud n clear on this one.

Bob Arum spitting the cold hard facts. Broner is a solid bum, he really has no place in a ring with Manny Pacquiao.

The truth here, mate.
