Comments Thread For: Broner Wants 'Tough Test' February 13th, But Insists It's About AB, Not His Opponent

[Oregonian]

Pac v AB - Pbc matchmaking at its finest...one loss Rios was a good comeback fight for Pac coming off brutal ko loss war with Marquez.

————-

When Manny fought Mosley, Mosley was coming off a one-side beating by Floyd and a draw with Moraa. Would you call that a comeback for Mosley or a relevant fight for Manny at WW?

Margarito was coming off a KO loss to Mosley. Sure he “won” a belt against a guy nobody even knows at 154 but there was a catchweight stipulation on top of that. Was that a come back fight for Margarito or a legit opponent for Manny?

Even if we go with that logic, so what was the reason to fight Mathysse, Broner or Vargas?

Actually PBC wants Barrios vs. Prograis! That's why they were on that card together!

This one is pretty cool fight. I'm high on Barrios these days. I'd give him a slight edge over Prograis, and he'd KO Taylor.

So a KO loss justifies a fight with the human punching bag Rios?

As for Floyd-Mosley, other than the 2nd round in which Mosley landed two monstrous punches, can you name any round which Mosley won even a single minute of the round?

it justifies a fight with floyd lol, if rios had won i bet floyd would have fought him instead, thats exactly what he did with cotto and marg, waited till they lost and old man mosley was on top for a brief period, oh now hes ready to fight! how convenient! look i beat the guy who who the guy who beat the guy yeah sorta...when the right guy you wanted to win won...and that guy happened to be 40 years old and looked like trash in all his other recent fights. guess people had floydnesia

Thing with AB is that I think he doesn't throw punches because he doesn't trust his conditioning, not his chin. His chin has proven to be solid but all that bad living in between fights catches up with you. Same thing with Tank. His output has been lower and lower and I think it's also a lack of trust in conditioning for similar reasons.

Regis. To me AB isn't carrying the same energy when he steps up to bigger fights to begin with. And he's an old 31 with all the abuse he's put on his body in recent yrs.

Who'd you pick?

Same pick, for the same reasons! I hope Prograis fights Mario Barrios!

He did look much better, but maybe that was the opponent?
