    It's a good route but he should be at 140 so compared to the fighters at 140 its not that good of a route

    Because thats how people protecting their 'O' works, you should know about that first hand

    broner just has a lot of haters. everyone who dont like the paulie fight i dont kno wut they want him to do. i think they would be happier if he stayed at 135 even tho ricky didnt want it, so its we either see broner vs abril/beltran/vasquez.. or 140 where everyone tied up so who is there to fight ?? wut karim mayfield in a 10 round fight. no thanks broner needs 12 rd fights. so paulie is legit. 12 rd title fight.

    My sentiments exactly. This guy went from 130 to 135 and beat the best at 135. The next best guy at 135 then blatantly ducks him. Instead of staying there and fighting guys no one cares about, he moves up in weight. None of the top fghters at 140 are available, so he takes on a highly rated belt holder at 147. Not only that, but he says he wants to fight the top JWWs next. Somehow, this made him public enemy number 1 with many fans. I'm struggling to understand.

    Not to be argumentative mate as I agree Broner is being pulled apart for little reason.

    But he has not beat the best at 135!

    DeMarco was rated by just about everyone as the top fighter at 135 when Broner beat him. Now of course I can't account for every individual opinion, but the fact remains that DeMarco was generally considered the top fighter at 135 when Broner fought him.

    Ricky Burns's promoter said what?

    And who do you mean Frank or Eddie Hearn? Ricky Burns's manager has been very vocal in saying Ricky was campaigning for a long time for Broner with Frank and it was never a realistic possibility.

    Then comes Miguel Vasquez, extremely talented and a better fighter all round than Antonio De Marco.

    So like I said, he has not beat the best guys at 135.

    Good! I pretty much expected this from Broner, going to 140 win or lose.

    That's your opinion. That doesn't change the fact that most boxing publications had DeMarco ranked number 1 at LW when Broner fought him.

    frank said on the scene after they got into it wen the vasquez fite fell through. an i guess hes still campaigning for it becuz he could of had it more then once. they were actually scheduled to go but ricky bailed out n moved outta the division.

    I think you have too much faith in your own personal opinions.
