Gotta Admire Broner Moving Up Two Weights

Got to admit, it's impressive to see Broner pushing forward. Paulie will be a test and bigger than him, and two move up two weights then he could sit pretty for a few more fights, well, it's impressive, that's all i can say. Hats off to 'The Problem'.

Who wins?

Personally I'd prefer to see him fight the best guys at 140...

I would say that the likes of Garcia, Matthysse, Peterson etc are not only better than Paulie but (despite being in the division below Paulie) hit harder and are naturally bigger/stronger so its a little hard to give him credit

That being said alot of the best 140lbers have fights booked as well do alot if the welterweights

He wont stay at 147. If he beats Paulie I think he'll take on one of those guys.

Hopefully, I don't mind this match up because of how few fighters are available and I'd rather him keep on fighting staying active and adding to his fanbase than wait around for a fight in August/September etc

Darn straight, it's a big fight. If PBF moved up two weight classes you lot be wan**** on the boards, i respect anyone willing to do that. Paulie is being made a bigger threat than he needs to be too. Respect Broner.

The build up will be fun also. Two guys who would rather use 10 words when one would do.

Hoping for a Paulie win.

Tough fight to call.

I don't reckon so. Size in this case would be irrelevant. Skill will win out.

Paulie and Broner will be roughly the same size. Paulie is a very small (like FMJ) WW, Broner is a monster at LW. If Floyd jumped to 160 he'd be giving away 10lbs on the scales and god knows how much after hydration etc.

I think most people are excited that this could lead to him fighting the likes of Pacquiao, Marquez, Rios, Brook, Bradley, Khan rather than the fight with Paulie itself.

The more I think of it, the more I wonder why he is skipping LWW. That division is more stacked than WW.

Yea Broner could walk into the ring heavier than Paulie by virtue that he fights at about 150+lbs on fight night anyway whereas Paulie probably doesn't rehydrate that much at all beig a career LWW and a small WW

Paulie will be awkward for a couple rounds but Broners speed, strength and skill will prevail and wear him down alot like others have done in the past. Cano doesnt have anywhere as near power, speed or skill as Broner but Cano could have easily got the judges decision against paulie last time out

Az, most of them are booked already so I think that once he gets Paulie out of the way he will go back down to 140 for a couple fights

32 wins 7 by Kayo...........Not surprised Broner is moving up...

I sense that the press conferences will have more action than the fight itself...
