Comments Thread For: Broner on Vargas: He Ain't Win His Fights When He Stepped Up

[Southpawology]

At this point broner isnt a step up for vargas, vargas is a step up FOR BRONER

The fact he was 32 is irrelevant. People age differently.

He was obviously not in his prime in 2013.

And he arguably beat Broner.

1st of all. Age matters buddy. When u just turned 32 you shouldn't be past your prime just yet, period Maybe you didn't read correctly or haven't been following his career because Paulie clearly wasn't past it in 2013 In the Broner fight he looked the best he had in years even better than he was when he was 25 or 26 fighting Diaz...clearly not past it or Broner would have knocked him out....By the time he fought Porter is when he was done but the again Porter might have stopped a prime Paulie as well...

This is like the Buffalo Bills ragging on someone for losing a Super Bowl.

tf you talking about, paulies prime was about 5 years prior to that fight

Your an idiot no one out of their prime at 25 26 years old fool...even when Paulie got to 33 he would say it would be a bit diff if he was 25 so just stfu

[Patsfan bri]

And your no step up. I guess Vargas wins tomorrow night.

i wonder how irrelevant it was for shane, cotto, and manny..they were so rickety by the time floyd fought em, you could have called those fights the grey bowl, sponsored by huggies and aarp...

Only a fool would say age is irrelevant in boxing lol

[Realizniguhnit]

paulie had just been dominated by cano in one of the worst robberies of recent time. yes paulie looked better against brone cause broner makes you look good cause he just stands there and doens't throw punches.

Broner didn't just stand their vs Paulie, outside of Demarco it was the only fight where he felt it was safe to let his hands go. As for Paulie, you've never seen him come out straight gung ho like that with that work rate without gassing or dam near getting KTFO so that's why I say he was still in his prime maybe on the back end but prime still kinda like his last hurrah

well that's the pot calling the kettle black ain't it. Neither have you Broner lol

Youre interested in the wrong sport if you are looking for HUMILITY
He's a 4 division champion
(but casuals think Everyone gets a World Title, cause its so easy)
Which is very disrespectful to Boxing (once again this probably isnt the sport for you)
You probably dont even KNOW AB, personally to make that observation,
YEP, WRONG SPORT FOR YOU
try basket weaving

Care to give the name of the fighters he beat for those 4 world titles?

How was Paulie past his prime at age 32? He looked the best he looked in a while when he fought Broner and it could be argued he won the fight. Paulie looked better there than in some of his fights I've seen when he was 25-26

I don't buy the whole Paulie was past his prime when he had just turned 32 years old a few months before facing Broner... That's still prime range.

Both of them lost when they stepped up to the elite level. This fight will basically determine who will be the career gatekeeper although both of them may end up with that status in the end especially if they stay at 147.

Age is not a barometer for being in prime or not. You can be shot while still in your twenties.

Fact is, Paulie was well past his best. Everyone who has something about them knows this to be the truth.
