    Broner has been bigger then Paulie his entire career no matter what weight class he fought in my friend. He's a freak. He started out at 135 and fought at as much as 140. 147 will not be a problem for him and he probably should be fighting there anyway. Paulie will definitely look the smaller man come fight night. Paulie's speed and shiftiness may make it appear early that we are in for a fight but he is going to get walked down.

    I agree with @Fenster in that the only bet to make here is a points win and even that's a tad delusional no offense. If Paulie had some pop I could see a chance.

    This will be a stroll in the park for Broner. It will be as one sided as the Khan or Hatton fights.

    delusional is a little harsh dont you think? but yes i have convinced myself there is no chance of paulie winning with his only change being a very tight decision and if it is a very tight decision he wont get it

    If Broner walks Paulie down and pastes him, I'll be highly impressed. Regardless of how big Broner is, what he walks around at and what his fight night weights are, to jump up two weight divisions, walk someone down and paste them will be impressive IMO.

    I'd take Broner on a wide UD Eric...

    There's a reason for broner that its this fight at this time with a guy who's past his prime, still holds a belt but got dropped by some lunch pail type fighter in his last fight. Broner overshot the weight before and didnt even try (once) to come in under. He made it in the last fight but was probably ready to move up for a while. This is probably a fast track for him to get money defenses. maidana and thurman are in the top five in line for a shot though if he beats paulie.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    I hear that. Paulie is the perfect fight for anyone at 147 because he is passed his prime and he has no punching power. What's the risk? Lose on points? Even then, you don't get hurt. However, I really don't think too much should be made of it if Broner rolls through Paulie without much difficulty. Khan, Cotto, and Hatton did it too, in lighter weight classes. Frankly, Broner's opponent's have been perfect for him so far. I'm very much looking forward to Broner-Alexander, Broner-Thurman, Broner-Matthysse, Broner-Garcia. They are all fights that can be made too, as the opponents are under Golden Boy.

    It's also a great fight for Paulie if he was planning on cashing out soon anyway. He hadn't earned a Floyd fight. He took the next highest paying option. Thurman and Maidana fights wouldn't have paid him the same amount.

    Broner vs. Matthysse...I'd ALMOST tell my wife to put her clothes back on if that fight was about to start.

    Paulie most recently 'lost' Juan pablo Cano in a terrible decision. Broner was walking around at 160. Paulie is going to get beat up pretty good, it's all in the script.

    Broner SHOULD win...and should win easily. But...i wonder about his concentration and focus leading up to this fight. Floyd lives a flashy lifestyle...but his discipline is unparralleled. Broner seems to focusing as much, if not more, on his out of ring antics...and you have to wonder if that will bite him in the ass against a real threat...especially considering how vastly overrated his defense is. I think Paulie has enough speed and experience to make it interesting for a bit...but his lack of power will not keep Broner honest.
