Adrien Broner wants to take on Manny Pacquiao – Boxing News
Super featherweight Adrien Broner, who is supposedly WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather’s clone, wants to take on Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao. According to Broner, the former WBO welterweight titlist can fight him if not Floyd Mayweather.
Broner gained recognition as Mayweather’s clone due to his trash-talking and his shoulder roll stance fighting stance which is identical to Mayweather’s. Broner calls Mayweather his ‘Big Brother’. He has managed to remain unbeaten to date, like his ‘Big
Brother’.
“I ain't got nothing against [Manny] Pacquiao, he just can't beat my big brother [Floyd Mayweather],” said Broner in Fight Hype.
He added, “If he signs that dotted line, I'll [expletive] him up too. … He can sign it, we can fight.”
Unfortunately, Broner sounded like an amateur when he failed to show his understanding regarding who Manny Pacquiao actually is.
“I'ma just do to him what he used to. He used to not getting his hands raised. How many losses he got?”
A super-bout between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is long awaited by boxing fans. It has been two years since the possibility of the bout was announced by both the camps but it never happened. Even this year, fans were expecting both the pound for
pound kings to collide, but to their dismay, the dialogues ended with an unfortunate result.
Probably, Broner has an idea that the super-bout might never happen and so he wants to pitch in the scene to get a fight against Pacquiao. After all, a fight with Pacquiao is something every rising star would demand in hopes of adding some credit to his
portfolio.
Broner definitely is among the best super featherweights right now but he still lacks the experience that Pacquiao has. Besides, in order to get a fight against Pacquiao, he will have to move up in weight. Since he lacks experience, he might find it difficult
to face the Filipino rage at a weight that he has fought at.
For now, Broner believes he has what it takes to beat the former WBO welterweight titlist. He is onto challenging Pacquiao for a fight, if Mayweather vs. Pacquiao does not happen.
