Given he wins impressively tonight
....
Andre Berto
Zab Judah
Tim Bradley
Marquez
Victor Ortiz
Guerrero
I think he needs to step up in competition. Only problem is, honestly don't see him beating any of the guys on my list. I don't think he will carry the same power against these guys at the higher weights and he seems to be a type to fade late. Maybe hes a sleeper and we haven't seen everything but I doubt it. Thoughts? Anybody you want to see him fight?
Manny
I'd like to see him fight Wlad or Haye
Good post, I completely re-cant my assessment of the douchebag . Before just watching that, I would've thought he'd probably at least start favourite over everyone you listed. Now I think he gets beat up by perhaps every single one:confused:;D.
I actually think Zab Judah would have a great chance to knock his ass out, not even kidding. That would certainly be a great draw if they could make it in the same venue, makes sense for all.
Pretty glad that Kahn's name hasn't been thrown in there. I can actually see boner goin back down the weights for a year or so and fighting burns, vacating the belt if there is no paulie rematch
Yeah I think Zab can too, I have a feeling he has a weak chin aswell, he seemed to be paralyzed everytime paulie threw a punch, as well as Gavin Reese, and these guys have pillows for punches he could've easily stopped there flurries but he seems a little to afraid to get hit. I put this up before the Paulie fight but after watching it, I think he will become the biggest fluke in boxing history.Quote:

Guys, Broner just scraped by Paulie Maliggnaggi. How does that translate into a fight with Manny Pacquiao? Broner's people will scale back his career trajectory after this performance. He'll defend the title against a few nobody's, and Showtime will pay him millions to do it, which is retarded and ridiculous.
Berto, Cano, Karass, Thurman, Alexander maybe. I don't think they'll let him go anywhere near those guys though. Hopefully, Paulie gets a rematch, and get to make another $1.3MM pay day. Can you believe Broner got paid $1.5MM to fight Paulie?
I'm hard pressed to think of a guy who has been so highly placed on a mount, "the savoir of boxing" ffs and self "anointed" and has looked so unimpressive while having it done. It makes the sport even more cheap and gimmicky. But I don't know if they can dumb it down and go backwards now, though you are right he needs to. It has all the feel and look of a Berto or Gamboa situation early on only more obnoxious.Quote:

If Manny beats Rios, and jmm and bradley winner refuses to fight Pac. Pac vs Broner would be great imo.

You know Cloner might actually wait those two superstars out or perhaps there will be no need to any further waiting depending on how the two look next but again that is no different then what countless of others have done that came before him. People have been cashing in on a completely shot Roy Jones since Tarver. Rios has no shot. Cloner said after the fight that he will let the people decide and that he is eying 140 which is where the deep end of the pool is. He's a tin collector so I'm hoping he's not stupid enough to go after Lamont. Talk about canon fodder. Cloner needs a massive fight to sustain that massive ego.Quote:

For sure, I only meant it would be pathetic to me since Broner is an absolute piece of shit and Manny or Marquez have been such great class for the sport, nothing to do with boxing really;DQuote:

Lamont clearly wouldn't have a prayer and I don't think Broners people would be stupid enough to make that his next opponent either. Rios should be a moot point assuming Pacquiao destroys 5 of his remaining 8 brain cells, but on current form I think that Broner would at least be in a fight there. Rios is tougher than Malignaggi, works harder and may be able to touch Broner up more than he's comfortable shaking his head to.
