Broner too big for 140 now. Figueroa Jr. will agree to fight Broner from 140-147. Let's see how PBC will manage this. In fact, as my theory for Broner carrying M. Garcia holds true for this reason:
Broner accepts his position as a bonafide PBC gatekeeper for upcoming PBC stars. When Broner and Spence were interviewed about the Lubin Charlo fight, Broner was just neutral and subliminaly said he likes all of Haymon fighters...
This being, I can see plans for Haymon mgmt prepping Figueroa Jr. for his future fights. Broner is a tough guy to go through. Now I'm probably contradicting myself in saying he'll be carrying Figueora Jr. Vs stopping Figueroa Jr. I'm hard pressed on this one as both guys are good for mainstream challengers for primetime tv against current 147 defending Champs.
DeMarco and Guerrero aren't heavy handed like Broner, and Figueroa Jr. hasn't fought an elite 140-147 seasoned fighter. Figueroa Jr. is tailor made for Broner at 147. I see a Molina Jr. Vs Matthysse type of match-up where Broner will get the end with the more sharp counters that Figueroa Jr.'s dad will stop the fight. For me Broner is just more battle tested with Chino and Porter. He can take Figueroa's power, and see Broner counterring upstairs when Jr. goes to the body. Might be a Allahkierdiev type fight again
