Comments Thread For: Photos: Adrien Broner Steps To Gavin Rees at Presser

[#1Assassin]

this is why i support fighters like Khan and not Broner. He might get knocked out but he fights the best. At 23 Khan was fighting guys like malinaggi and maidana...gavin rees has ZERO chance of winning. You can also bet everything you got that Broner doesn't step up to 140 until Khan, Garcia and Matthyse move up so he can take over that division fighting nobodys.

the **** are you on about?

broner fought the guy considered by most to be the best 135lber in the world in his first fight at the weight and beat him so badly the #2 guy refused to fight him. burns and vasquez are fighting eachother so who else should broner fight? burns turned him down.

im not saying rees is a great fight, but hes a former world champion with just one defeat, stop acting as if hes some tomato can. if he has no chance its because broner is terrific, not that rees is garbage. rees is a solid fighter.

most importantly what the **** does 140 have to do with anything? you know someone is a hater when they are talking about fighters who isnt even in the same division as the guy they are bashing. broner had one fight at 135, one! and you fools start talking about 140. you are reaching to find fighters to say hes ducking and its so blatant.

broner doesnt ever have to move to 140, he could stay at 135 and build a legacy as one of the most dominant lightweights. if and when he moves up whoever is at 140 becomes relevant, at that point you can say ask for him to fight those guys. but you cant talk as if hes ducking ppl by not moving up, all you can expect from a fighter is that he fights the best at his weight. a subject i already adressed.

Are you serious? Khan didn't choose them because they wouldn't meet him at a catch weight... He should have been at 147 a year ago when he was calling for Mayweather. Can is good against anyone with no one with real power.

[WESS]

Broner isn't needed at 140, there's enough drama there. Broner needs to clean out 135 this year and then move up in 2014.

We all know if he doesn't people will look back and try to say that he ducked this guy or that guy or moved up when 135 got hot etc etc etc...

It's why he mentions the Floyd Mayweather syndrome. No matter what he does, people cry about it even when it makes them look like a contradicting hypocrite.

However, he does need to move up soon.

Broner has only 2 credible fights at 135, and Rees is not one of them.

But as Vazquez and Burns are fighting each other, that means that there's actually only one credible fight and that's with the winner of Titere and Burns.

After that he should move up, unfortunately the 135 division is one of the worst in boxing right now.

EDIT: I forgot about Abril, maybe Abril could also be a decent opponent.

Legacy? Sorry but 135 is NOT a hot division. He is saying he is the next Mayweather and will take his place - fighting Reese??? Thats a damn joke. The fireworks and top fighters are in the 140 division. If he wants to take over Boxing, he needs to plow through 140 and become the best. At 140 he will win some, lose some but at least be in with a ton of top fighters.

He isn't fighting at 147 because he knows that he is guaranteed to get KTFO his first time out.

After Rees, he could fight the winner of Abril/Bogere. If Burns hasn't gotten his act together, then Broner should just forget about him.

Rees is making the same face Broner made when Guerrero was in his face.

135 is a graveyard compared to 140, if he's really looking to be the next P4P star, staying at 135 is like taking 10 steps back.
