Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner is Risky Business For Manny Pacquiao

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Why do you go by Boxrec's rankings when they are clearly the most flawed rankings possible?

Broner is not Top 10 in any actual legitimate rankings.

Broner is ranked #6 by the WBA and #4 by the WBO.



Meanwhile, Collazo is NOT ranked by any organization
Ugas is ranked #6 by the WBC
Lopez ranked #7 by the WBA.

Crawford and top rank picking Collazo was a terrible move on their part. Looks bad.

This is a comfortable fight for Pacquaio. Broner is a nice tune up fight.

Its actually quite an intriguing fight. Any version of Broner has no chance against prime Pac, but this isn't prime Pac, and we might not even have prime Broner come to think of it.

Broner loses fights because he's not active enough in them. Even though he boxes well in spurts, its difficult to see him changing his habits and suddenly being active in a fight. Even at 40, Pac will be his usual buzzsaw, and will likely be on the offence most of the fight with while Broner shoulder-rolls, clinches, then shakes his head while his chin is on top of Pac's head (and we all know how Maidana dealt with that lol).

Broner isn't Horn (able to make the fight so ugly its tricky to score it); won't have an Australian crowd cheering every shoulder roll and head shake; will be on the defence most of the fight; and will get outworked. So I can't see any way Broner gets a decision unless he hurts Pac and puts him down at least a couple of times.

Else Broner needs to stop him.

Ok? And?

Sanctioning bodies rankings are garbage also.

No legitimate rankings have Broner in the Top 10 and rightfully so.

No he isn't. Many pitches a near shut out or TKO.

[yoshik]

No chit.

It's number 2 vs number 8.

It's a do or die moment for the two. If you lose this fight you're done. Game over. Retirement.

Probably one of the greatest almost 50-50 fight in the welterweight division out of all upcoming fights in 2019.


Meanwhile...

*number 1 crawford will be fighting number 45.
*number 3 spence will be fighting a lightweight
*number 4 porter will be fighting number 12
*unranked thurman will be fighting number 36

Before you start ripping on Spence like most casual observers understand one thing, Mikey Garcia called out Spence. For a mega millions fight. Keep that in mind. No one else was calling Spence out. Quit acting like a cheerleader and start behaving like a real boxing fan

Hmmmm... Hard to tell if this writer is a Pacquiao hater...lol. Broner gets CRUSHED.

[marikudo]

Pacquiao should fight an easier opponent. Why not Thurman?

You are the same idiot who doesn't realize that Broner is a better opponent than anyone on Crawford's resume period.

Everybody is a risk
