Anthony Dirrell vs Badou Jack (spoilers)

Good post.

Broner was constantly berated for fighting in a dead LW division and was constantly required to "take risks" and "challenge himself"...strangely enough..by the same guys that want GGG to stay at MW.

Not ONE of Broner's haters wanted to see him stay there and unify 135 and join Chavez Sr and Duran as an ATG Lightweight.

Golovitards are the new Pactards.

Except they are even more vile and delusional.

I think things get skewed on Broner and making it sound like he was some beast "taking risks". What happened is he grew into a spoiled undisciplined plumper after initial trinket. The Escobedo fight..who wasn't even ranked...was a hoodwink where Broner blew the weight limit, was given a second chance and promptly got even fatter and told the network he didn't give a shit he likes twinkies almost resulting in card being scrapped. Then his huge risk and heroics saw him skip a talent loaded jr. Welt division all together and he was handed Malignaggi and his side piece who had just escaped a late bloody beating by Pablo Cano.

The whole argument falls on its face when you realize..yeh he moved up. Then he promptly got his ass stuffed in his hat and handed back to him by Maidana. Then he drops back down to where he should have stopped in the first place, Jr. Welter and is fighting the serious contender and threat "TBA" in 6 weeks. Broner and his hype machine took shortcuts and he has been playing catch up and repair ever since. He's not the example of guys moving up that needs to be followed.

Broner is at 140...a division that is much more competitve than ggg's MW ghostland.

Even if you feel Broner's risk taking is scewed...it still beats the shit out of what Golovkin is doing,or should I say,not doing.

Maidana is a puncher from a higher division....let's see lil gg move up and fight somebody that can crack.

He still wants to fight Chavez Jr

[La Cucaracha]

Everyone wants to fight Jr because it's easy money

What puncher would you like him to face at 168 waiting

Or do you want him to jump to 175 to face Kovalev and Stevenson

The crazy thing it's more than likely that Golovkin faces both those guys before Ward does

Maybe Ward should jump 2 division to face Ledbedev or Drozd

GGG has stated that a fight with Junior doesn't make sense now due to Junior's loss.
