    I think it's a distinct possibilty, i was watching him against Morales the other day and he looked almost like a different man, never mind fighter to the one who fought at 140 upwards. Innocent til proven guilty though, id like to think he didnt.

    I tell you what as well, did you notice how Pacquiao dodged the drug test for a while which was around the same time he was murdering everyone then all of a sudden he's happy to take a drugs test but he can't knock anyone out anymore? There is a few things like that which make me suspicious.

    But, as you say, Innocent until proven guilty.

    To cement his well earned place as The Ring's #6 P4P fighter in the world.

    you can reference anything you want, broner needs to beat guys better than rees if he wants to be a player in the top 10 P4P

    Wait. I thought you were joking.

    One round made a sarcastic statement about Broner being in the top 10 p4p by beating Rees, and then when you questioned it he linked you to the definition of irony.

    I thought Your 'you can reference what you want' post was a joke.

    Ok I see. That's why I laughed, I thought your 'you can reference what you want' when he posted a link showing he was joking was very funny.

    Rees is being underestimated, and Broner is being overrated. Rees is a different type of fighter than the guys Broner has been fighing. Deep down he believes he can win and is not afraid of him.

    I disagree about the bad move by his promoter bit. Rees is 32 years old and was probably thinking his chances at the very top had been and gone. Suddenly he's given a world title shot against America's next up and coming star, live on HBO. That's the dream ticket.

    If he loses to Broner it doesn't change much. Nobody expected him to win anyway. But if he causes a shock upset, or even if he just performs better than expected then he might open up new doors for him and other fights.

    For me, I don't see any negatives for Rees here. Worst case scenario is he loses the fight as everyone in the world expects.

    Rees' promoter Eddie Hearn said that Rees accepted the fight in less than a second before he even knew what the purse was.
