Completely different scenario. RJJ was an average sized LHW,who jumped 20-25 lbs to fight at heavy and then came right back down and in his mid 30s. Broner is a very big LW,who is jumping to 147,and is only 23.
Broner is fighting @ 147? What the flying ****?? Why doesn't he go to 140 and adjust to that weight first.. Alot of fun fights at that weight class as well!
im starting to suspect that he is being aligned for a fight with floyd, next year. floyds the bigger man and im sure he saw how easy broner is to hit. it would sell great if broner can get 2 or 3 good wins at 147 first.
Crossed my mind as well. Floyd and Broner will likely have a falling out at some point which would essentially start the promotion. Easy work.
Will either want to risk it with each other? If they did fight it means one of them (Broner) gets a beatdown and a humbling. Can either man take that?
Right now no but things happen. Look at Floyd and 50. Floyd likes to surround himself with people he has leverage over, the others come and go. Once they fall out, they will want to beat the **** out of each other. Plus, this fight has major league money written all over it.
I like Paulie but i can see him getting beat bad in this one, broner is too quick and slick. Even if his punch does not hold the same weight at WW then it did at LW it wont matter he beats paulie to the punch all day long. Paulie will get get beat and then prob fight Keith Thurman.....This raises Broners profile and he does not always have to stay at 147.....but he really should be fighting Burns,Rios,Khan at somepoint
now Broner is ducking Rios and everyone at 140.. he's fighting an A-Hole in WW who doesn't have a punching power.. i hope the magic man surprises me..
and if he's collecting belt at different weight classes, he should fight Rios first... Boner exchanged trash talk with Rios in twitter, now he's ducking him.. Crap!
if no Rios at 140, and the feud between GB & TR.. he should fight Danny Garcia (WBA/WBC), thats bigger money than Malignaggi IMHO
