    Broner appears to have his trainers intimidated.

    They can't even tell him to calm down without getting cussed out.

    Because he loses to the top 4 or 5 at 140 that's why.

    He had to shake the reputation of being a big dude beating up on skinny guys, boxing fans were growing tired of it and weren't buying no matter how much DLH was trying to sell.

    He wanted the big money welter fights. 140 is dangerous and lacks the financial power of 147.

    Mathsysse isn't elite either...:deal

    nor is Garcia..

    Let's see them move to 154 and fight a Champ...then a PUNCHER.

    That is equivolent to what Broner did by jumping all the way to WW.

    Whose saying they are?

    They're a hell of alot closer than Broner is though and would beat him up.

    Let's see if they can skip 147 and win a title at 154....face a PUNCHER...and do better than Broner.

    If they can do that then you can say they are better.

    Last year Broner was at 135...:hi:

    How many fights at 130 do Danny and Lucas have:think

    After beating Paulette for a Belt They thought Maidana was easy work, like a lot on here did. they were wrong and he got his ass beat. broner can come again though but it has to take hard work and dedication from AB.

    Oh my. GBP really did a number on you with all their hype. I'm afraid it's too late to get back to reality at this point. Just follow me young fella and I might be able to cure your goldenboyanitus.

    So you'd be impressed if Garcia sat in a sauna and beat up on a bunch of skinny guys at 130? Or how 'bout Gavin Rees? Because that is the only difference between the two. Garcia doesn't hold as much of a size advantage over his opponents at 140 as Broner did at 135 and lower so him going up to 154 would actually surpass anything Broner has done.

    Broner set the bar so low for himself that anything he did north of 130 would be considered a great accomplishment. Promoter hype 101.

    And last but not least, I can think of an easier way for Garcia or Matthysse to prove they are better then Broner and that is by fighting him and knocking him out.
