    Everyone at 140 is tied up. He has no options at 140. How many times does this have to be stated.:-(

    Dont mention this runner...he just doesnt want to face Broner one of the biggest ducks in recent memory...
    It is true Broner doesnt have good resume but maybe he would have Burns on his record if he could get him in the ring...

    Broner has more skills so Broner. Froch lost to the 3 best people he faced and his skils are average at best

    Broner wanted the Burns fight so i'm not debating that(and i also don't see Burns ducking him), just stating his recent opposition would all lose to Burns (as would his upcoming opponent) so he needs to step up his opposition to match the hype he is getting.

    If you are asking who should be rated P4P, I say neither. Since his win over Bute, Froche is the most overrated fighter on the planet (I am not saying Froch is no good but he is way overhyped). who is better boxer, I would say Broner, so i would rank him higher right now. I do not put as much weight on record and activity as many on here, they are only a measure of skill, and skill wise I give the edge to Broner. I see Broner, Mikey Garcia, and Mares in the top 5 behind Ward and Donaire after PBF, JMM and Sergio call it a day.

    Goddamnit can you read? He can't fight anyone at 140 because everyone there is tied up. Khan is fighting soon, Juilo Diaz I believe, Lucas-Petterson Garcia-Judah no one is available. Burns ducked him at 135 so instead of staying idle he moved up to fight Paulie at 147. He didn't avoid 140 he's staying active while the other guys are tied up to fight a belt holder at a weight he's never fought at.:deal

    I would have loved to see Broner/Burns . . . Burns made a risk/reward calculation and realized that it was not worth it. I have no problem if a fighter does what ever he can to maximize his earning potential, I have seen far to many fighters die broke. I think Burns is waiting for Broner to leave the division so he can take top spot, which not necessarily a bad strategy for his career but it sucks for fans.
