If Broner looks good will he join the 140lb mix?

    He's lining up a payday with Floyd. He might see 140 as too much trouble than its worth.

    Broner will float through the divisions picking up multiple paper titles while fighting nobody of real note.

    Both he and Schaefer said he'd be dropping to 140 after Paulie.

    He doesn't deserve credit though if he's floating around divisions taking on the easiest belt holders.

    I'd have give him credit if he stepped up to 140 to take on the Garcia or Mathysse's rather than completely skipping it for Malignaggi.

    Not when he skipped 140 to avoid better fighters.

    Exactly, you have to call him for what he is, an unfunny cherrypicker, who is a hype job.

    I think he will fight the winner of Peterson/Judah, he's seriously ****ing his legacy up if he stays at 147. Let him win this gimmick fight and then come down, do a little bit at 140 and then move back up when he grows into the weight.

    He was arrested and on the charge sheet he was 148 pounds. That says to me he isn't a natural 147 yet. I could only see Matthysse beating him at 140, even then I'd back Broner. Winner of Judah/Peterson and then let him fight Garcia (who should avoid Lucas at all costs). He'd deal with Peterson, Judah and Garcia easily.
