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.

What do you think of that pitch where they want the fans to 'pick his next opponent'? They may be setting themselves up for a massive eating of crow. I mean its not like fans online, arm chair fans, are going to pick a cake walk non name but more so a huge player? Dunno, just sounds silly.
