    Yes, he would be. Broner is leagues above anybody Ricky has beat.

    If Rees beat Broner, it would be the biggest upset in a long time. It just ain't gonna happen. Rees is a good little fighter, with the right fights he's a factor at world level. He's busy, his ability is underrated.

    But...he's way, way too small. He will not be able to bully Broner. If he tries to outhustle Broner he's going to get murdered, he'll be picked apart by Broner's speed, the harder he tries the more energy he'll use achieving nothing of note as he won't be able to hurt Adrien, he'll miss a lot, he'll get countered, and you'll see a gradual beating as Broner gets stronger and Rees's resources deplete.

    If he tries to box Broner which is unthinkable, aside from jabbing early Gavin likes to use his natural strength and stature to hustle close, he'll get boxed to pieces for very obvious reasons.

    There isn't really a way you can see that he can even compete let alone win. I don't even know what I'd suggest to him except go out, throw punches and put up a good showing.

    Burns is definitely better than Demarco in my opinion

    Sidestep like that doesn't answer the question though.

    thats true Billy, Burns can give Broner a harder fight than most people realise, Broner will find it difficult to fire his punches off for the first half dozen rounds then after 6 rounds which i believe may be favouring Burns Broner will start to close Burns down and then we will see if Burns has what it takes to be in an Elite Class of fighters to go to the U.S.of A and cause an upset,i would love to see this happening and wish the Rickster all the best mate

    I agree,Burns has to good an engine for any lightweight just now Broner included,Broner WILL struggle rounds 8-12 with Ricky that's if he's still there

    It would be a good win for sure but I think Broner is massively overrated. It would not put him above Burns in my opinion. It would make a Burns v Rees fight a must happen one though.

    Ive said it somewhere else as well as now. Broner will be exposed in 2013,we are not looking at an all time great in this bloke. Decent fighter yes! But more so a fighter who believes his own press. Heading for a fall big time.

    Your talking like you want to fight Broner, but the multiple ducks and fighting British level + broken back opponents for a phoney "world" title suggest otherwise.
