    Like who? That's a general statement and it's the type off based statemtent that people often make in regards to boxing. Boxing is all about styles. If you really see weakensses in Broner, then you should be able to indentify them and identify the type of fighter that can exploit that weakness. To simply say that anyone who is elite will beat him makes little sense.


    In my opinion, all you're doing here is proving how overhyped Linares and Khan were and still are. I don't believe their talent level isn't all that great, and that they are both litered with flaws. It's for those reasons that they both keep getting knocked out by guys that they are supposed to be superior to. Both guys have been stopped already by guys that are inferior to guys Broner has beat. Escobedo, Broner's next opponent, is definately better than Prescott and DeMarco.

    Perez was a coke addict.

    Escobedo is a left over from other left overs.

    If he want to prove hes for real and not just another annoying gimmick.

    He has to man the **** up and face Gamboa.

    Agreed. Broner's a poor man's 154 pound Mayweather with more power P4P than Mayweather has at that weight. He's nothing special at all. Certainly not a future great.

    How about the fact that Uchiyama has no interest in coming to America, and Broner's people have no interest in Broner taking a pay cut to fight him over in Japan? Furthermore, who has Uchiyama beat? I've never seen him fight, so I can't comment on him. But what are his strengths as a fighter, and what makes him so much better than Broner?

    Escobedo hasn't lost in two years. Furthermore, how is he supposed to man up and fight Gamboa when Gamboa's promotional situation isn't even cleared up? I really don't understand making nonsensical demands of these fighters.

    Gamboa would humble and retire this hypejob.

    These kinds of gimmicks usually go downhill once they are exposed.

    He will turn into a fat slob like his father once he gets beat,humbled and ran out of the sport.

    Uchiyama is a bigger draw than broner, so why would he travel to America? He's the number 1 in the division, he has the better resume, he's beaten the better fighters, he's been a world champion for longer, he attracts a bigger audience and besides all that, the only way Broner brings in money is from HBO and they'd show the fight whether it's in Japan or America. Additionally, look at the money that is in Japanese boxing. They have

    Americans have been using this "foreigners have to fight in America" idea for years. It has no basis and is a blatant duck. America is no the be-all and end-all of boxing and it is not the place where a fighter like Broner can make the most money. It was the same when Broner was mentioning Burns. Broner would never, ever come over to Britain for that fight but why? A fight in Britain makes Broner far more money than a fight in America would and it'd also broaden his global appeal.
    He's beaten Salgado, who is better than anyone Broner has beaten, and is a deserving number 1 in the division. As for his ability, he's simply a better boxer than Broner and has more power.
