No, because Broner is on the slide and only an above average fighter.
If he was moving to 140lbs, to fight Crawford that would be a different story. Still, I'm not criticising him for taking a huge money and profile opportunity, just noting this is not a particularly difficult fight for him.
Good respectable answer. I think this is a bad move though.
It's a great opportunity for him because it gets exposure, and it's a legit fight because Broner ain't easy. I fully believe Mikey will win but this isn't a tune-up or anything of that nature.
Really? Im not a Broner fan (my oldest son is lol) but I WOULD NOT bet $ on this.
I guess you can look at this from 2 different perspectives, hes moving up risking everything against a tough former champ with name recognition, OR hes moving up for an easy W against a flawed guy with name recognition and lots of drama.
Thoughts?
An easy W? Ask Maidana and Porter if that was an easy W

I myself never said this was an easy W, but most posters have. I am actually leaning on this being a "cherry pick" gone wrong. Mikeys frame belongs no where above 135lbs.
Risk, yes. HUGE, no. I actually think hes gonna lose but I think him and his team are banking on Broner struggling with weight and/or Broner having a mental lapse.
Broners not a bad fighter, he just didnt live up to the hype.

Oh ok. Maidana said Broner was the strongest fighter he's ever faced.
Adrien Broner: I know people think I gave him the beating of his life but trust me, Adrien is really strong. The last round against him he came at me like a true warrior, asking for more and more.

Replace Broner with Chavez jr and Maidana with Sergio Martinez...

Yup imagine if he does to broner what he did to dejan! will be similar to like what the hatton KO did for pacquaio.
