    Credit to broner for beating a solid lightweight in drained division that's no knock on him or demarco though it's not their fault division is weak.Who should he fight next?Don't give that bs weight excuse either Broner has admitted being 150lb+ always boasting about his size example taunting bigger 147lb guerrero saying robert is small compared to him.He moved up after not being able to make weight limit at 130lb anymore,hence 133 1/2lb vs escobebo 2nd time he's missed weight & came in 5lb bigger than demarco.Broner shouldn't be at lighweight for too long considering he's huge, Ranking opposition 7.Burns,6.Khan,4.Rios/garcia,3.Gamboa,2.Marquez,1.Matthysse. I'd say Burns/Gamboa are only viable options at 135lb but that's just one opinion.Your thoughts.:smoke Who makes more sense right now?

    Burns to cement his place at the top at 135 before moving on to 140

    No sense wasting a vote on Rios. We know that's not gonna happen.

    Rios aready won this poll at RingTv.

    why are people still bringing up Gamboa? he's not in his weightclass and would get knocked out cold if they fought @ lightweight. it's going to be a no-credit win based on him being too small.
    that being said Ricky Burns is the next logical choice. if it werent for Gesta being with Top Rank i would love to see that too. the icing on the cake would be a bout against Marquez, then he can move up in weight.
    also wouldn't mind seeing him beat the crap out of Hank Lundy in a stay busy fight. the trash talk would be hilarious.

    The only guys that would be 50/50 or I'd favor over Broner from that list is JMM and Matthysse.

    He should face Burns next.

    I don't know how Burns is RING mag #4 at LW below Vazquez and DeMarco. I would consider he vs. Broner for the lineal title at 135.

    Jmm not on the list, but since he is Broner's preferred 2nd choice...

    Cause he beat Ponce aka the solution to some,he's undefeated,better resume than broner (wins over salido,ponce that's more than enough reason, enough said.Wouldn't expect someone who wanted gamboa fight a guy 2-3 divisions bigger for peanuts to understand.:bart

    so you'd give Broner props for knocking out a smaller man after the fight's over?

    He's not knocking him out.Maybe they'd give him a gift stoppage like rios did since broner is in house fighter like rios.Rios was down 4-2 got controversial stoppage & gift decision vs abril :yep,all bad got a couple guys over rios at 140 that 0 will go soon.& to answer your question I can't give broner full of credit till he stops fighting small guys like brandon use to do at 135lb.I'd give more credit to smaller guy gamboa for willing to fight bigger guys like rios & broner in the first place.I give both some credit (broner,rios) though just to show you I aint no hater.:smoke

    Like I said wouldn't understand a bum bum rios fan to understand what it's like fighting a guy 2-3 divisions 15-25lbs bigger than you for peanuts.Don't think you've ever laced gloves or know what a mismatch is.At the time rios 135lb Gamboa 126lb.Now Rios 140lb ballooning up like broner 13-15lbs against a guy who's having his first 130lb fight.You're lucky Abril fought rios not Gamboa Rios would've been chopped down real talk.Be careful what you wish for,worry about 140lb division cause rios will have a couple losses before he moves up lol instead of picking on smaller fighters.

    You're one of a small number of posters who,if I see their name at the last post in a thread,I'll always look.
    So it's a relief and a pleasure to see you not shitting on Burns here,as I can't fathom the hate for him since last weekend.
