Broner vs Malignaggi in June for WBA title

[djcione]

Paulie is nowhere near as good as Broner. He's never won a big fight against a name opponent, and he should have retired by now before he gets hurt

[IamInuit]

Broner is not fighting Floyd...EVER! They are grooming him to be the next Floyd...both repped by Al Haymon...and they are even hamming up the big bro/little bro angle in public. Not to mention...why would Broner go up against the best fighter in the world when he has not even been tested this early in his career?! He would get schooled and his people don't need that for him at this stage. As for the Paulie fight...if Malignaggi had pop in his punch...this could be an interesting fight...since Broner's defense is VERY overrated. There are better fights for Broner to make at 140...oh well.

How does he become the next Floyd if he doesn't fight the current one? Floyd only became Floyd when he beat the then top PPV fighter. Same goes for Manny. Broner has to beat an unbeaten Floyd or it's going to be a long hard road for him to do anything like Floyd has in terms of making money.

He is avoiding guys at 140...you think he is going to go up and fight the best fighter on the planet at this stage of his career?! They are trying to hype this kid up by having him fight no real threats right now. Unless this fight took place in a few years (by which time Floyd will be retired or will not risk fighting a much younger fighter)...it's not happening. And as i mentioned earlier...they are playing up the whole older brother/younger brother angle. But i agree with you that it will be tough for him to match Floyd in the money making department. Until Mayweather retires or loses...no one is matching him in the promotion/PPV business..

He's not avoiding anyone at 140. That division is busy for at least the rest of this year. Whats he supposed to do wait until everyone is finished their business? There are no big fights he can make at that weight presently and all one has to do is look at the scheduele. Armstrong jumped straight to 147 and so did Shane.

Regardless of other fighters schedules...Broner is not stepping up to fight anyone of real threat right now. Mosley jumped up to 147 and fought Oscar (PED use aside)...hardly the same as going up to fight Paulie.

As did Robert Guerrero.

Outside the ring...Paulie's way too witty for Broner. Inside the ring will be a different story I think.

[ross]

Paulie had me cracked up ripping the shit out of Broner. He said his mum gave him a girls name because even she thinks hes a little bitch!

He pulled him on all the stuttering and talking gibberish. Broner sounds nervous as fuck when he talks. To me it sounds like he's forcing himself to come out with this shit.

Hs going to lose every time with a fast talker like Malignagi and he's making himself look a cunt because the crowd is laughing along with Paulie.

[IamInuit]

Paulie is going to get his head kicked in and its as simple as that. Removed with the canvas. His wit contest will not save him. It never saved Marcus Aurelious.

I agree with you, Broner is going to win, but I hope he doesn't kick Paulie in the head. Paulie is doing an excellent job calling fights and we need some fresh faces. IMO

I dont know that its really going to be so one sided. Paulie is a very tough customer, stood in there with Cotto at 140 and took a hellacious beating but he never stopped trying. I dont think Paulie is going to win but I do think he is going to give Broner more porblems than he expects.

[Rantcatrat]

The only fight Paulie is going to win is the fight of wits outside the ring. Broner wins inside the ring easy.

[Spicoli]

Is that saying less about Broner or more about Paulie? Malignaggi is certainly the best name Broners ever faced.

Broner unofficially jumped to welter in his charade match with Escobedo, hes walking around near 150 by the looks of him. He also needs to put the Floyd talk to bed..hes nothing like him and thinking that in the ring will get him in serious trouble.

[Master]

Paulie is the seasoned welterweight so does have that advantage. It will be a close fight.

True but remember that Cano almost beat Paulie in Paulie's last fight.
