    As we all know Broner moved from 135 to 147 and took it. It was a close fight, but Broner deserved it.

    So who is the smallest guy who could have beaten Malignaggi at the time? I made the thread Rigondeaux vs Malignaggi at 147 and a lot thought Rigo could have pulled it off. Gamboa I think for a fact would have. Maybe a 122 lbs Donaire? Donaire wouldn't have such a size disadvantage as the weights suggest. Mikey Garcia would have too.

    It'd be interesting to see Donaire pat 147. Many would argue that he would have been the bigger puncher of the two!

    While Cruz miss with a right his body is arch in a position to show his butt which Paulie can't resist. Next thing Paulie knows it's light out.
