    Burns was with Frank ******. Now he's with Eddie Hearn. The fight will happen, trust me.

    What kinda ignorant boxer looks past the opponent in front of him? Even Mayweather isn't that arrogant.

    Btw if he goes after the winner of Kell Brook vs Devon Alexander then hes going for the easiest path to a title and ducking Marquez, Pacquiao, Bradley, and all of 140.

    Because Paulie was slapped silly by Cano and appears to be on the way out. He's taken a lot of hurting in his career.

    Maybe because they fought him when he was closer to his prime, and by not bypassing an entire division of fighters? Not to mention they were just defending their belts against him. They weren't using him as weak-link champ just to get their hands on a title.

    The fight will not happen. Eddie Hearn himself has said he doesn't want to put Burns in with him. They don't want any problems, and are glad to see him leave 135. It's a relief for them.

    A lot of boxers do that. Recently, Canelo was just talking about Mayweather in September. In fact yesterday Canelo commented to say that Canelo in September would be great.

    That said, it's unwise to do I agree.

    I actually don't think he's going to fight the winner of Brook vs Alexander. But Mayweather rather will.

    He's gonna go back down and fight Burns now that he has signed with Eddie Hearn.

    So what's wrong with picking up an easy belt? They've all done it.

    Canelo, Pac with Diaz, etc... so why hate on Broner for doing something which has been done before, and at least he's moving up to weight divisions to do it.

    There are no easy belts. It's the fact that he wants to make it seem like it's an easy belt that has everyone disliking it when he does it. Pacquiao didn't take an easy belt when he beat DLH. It was an easy win but it wasn't perceived as an easy belt for Pacquiao.

    Floyd went up to that weight and didn't have an easy belt either. It's fine he wants to get a belt, but how is he ranked so high that he can even challenge for the belt at a weightclass he never even fought in before? Could Bradley go up to 147 and immediately challenge for the belt? What about those other boxers you mention?

    When they did have enough clout to do that they were either PPV stars, or they had been champions beating tough competition for a long time. The problem with Broner is he never faced tough competition in his entire career and only has been a title holder but he is perceived to have skipped ahead of the line of all the other title holders like Garcia, Khan, Alexander, Berto, all who have done more, fought better competition, and won more titles.

    He would be dumb to to fight Alexander, there is this idiotic idea among the group thinkers that he is a bum, real fans know what he can do

    I see a lot of people are leaning toward Paulie. I was getting teased at first because I said this fight was going to be harder than most are expecting
