Comments Thread For: Arum: Broner is Mediocre, Not Competitive With Pacquiao

[TLC8]

Look Dumb****s, Rios Wasn't Competitive Either; He Was A 4th Option

Floyd, Marquez and Bradley wouldn't fight Manny at the time so Rios who the media whooped up just like Boner, was available. It wasn't like they were out seeking to fight Rios. If you want to stay active, and the best in your division won't fight, then you have to pick someone less desirable. Boner should go fight Khan. Everybody is making such a great deal over Khans last fight beating a nobody in Collazo and looking good doing it; he should! Now if you don't have the ballz to go look good against Thurman or Kell Brook, then go fight Boner so we can out one of you two pretenders to rest. Khan hasn't fought anyone credible still, since 2010.

I didn't make Adrien Broner mediocre, Battling Nelson didn't make Adrien Broner mediocre. You're not making Adrien Broner good by defending him. Do you get my point? He's an average fighter with a big mouth, they come a dime a dozen. Nothing you say, or I say will change the fact that Broner is visibly ordinary. Stop defending him, you're enabling him to suck. He won't get better if people like you support his mediocrity.

Broner vs Pacquiao is more interesting than anything Top Rank can offer Manny right now man. cold truth.

Broner would be good enough to fight Pacquaio if he were signed with Top Rank. He is better than Alvarado and Rios and both of those guys will end up fighting Pacquaio before it is all said and done.

So the punching bag Brandon Rios was a competitor compare to Adrien Broner?

[Robbie Barrett]

He's not a TR fighter so Arum would take a hit on the revenue.

AB vs Pac would do way better numbers than Pac vs Bradley II because of AB's big mouth and folks looking for Pac to do to him what Maidana did to him times 2. regardless of whether or not some feel AB and Pac would be competitive, people want to see AB hurt in the ring and feel they will be guaranteed to see this happen if he were to face Pac.
This fight would be a win win situation for Bob unless deep down he has some reservations about Pac losing.
Being real, look at how folks acted in San Antonio after the Maidana fight. If Bob believes in Pac and Pac believes in Pac, why not make this fight so Pac can regain the following he once had plus some. If Pac were to fight AB and walk over him and take it to AB like Maidana did, all the hype from casual fans would be returned for a Floyd / Pac fight.

why does Pacquiao allow Arum to speak for him is what I wanna know. Broner called HIM out, not his promoter, why can't Pacquiao respond? I'm starting to think Arum has a pimp-********** relationship with Manny, I've seen plenty of times after Pac fights how Arum would climb in the ring and pet Manny on the head like a dog, a grown a$$ man wouldn't allow himself to be petted this way, Arum has Pacquiao's soul in his pocket.

right he should massage his chest instead.
