If he stops Rees and dominates then it is his best win, imo.crusader wrote:Ratchet Exits Nu wrote:Who had Honeyghan beaten before he beat Donald Curry?stujones wrote:Excellent post Crusader.
Plus Ponce De Leon is a two time world champion who has beaten some of the best in the division during his time. Who has Gav beaten remotely in the same league as Ponce De Leon?
Exactly.
Upsets happen, and part of what makes them special is their improbability; more often than not a fighter who is more proven and displays superior ability will defeat a fighter who is less proven and apparently less competent. It is, therefore, inappropriate to suggest that cases like Honeyghan-Curry greatly limit the relevance of Rees's comparable shortcomings and lack of high level wins.
Earlier you said that Broner hasn't proved anything to you, but will he have proved something positive about himself to you if he wins nearly every round and stops Rees, who is someone you consider a good boxer?
Demarco offered himself up like a meal to a starving man, he hardly seemed to try.
Broner ( withou the mouth) would be a good fighter, his mouth and the GBP hype machine has cowned him King way too soon.
And remember Broner 'beat' the same Ponce who was stopped on a round vs Lopez.
Broner beat a smaller slower man from a weight below Broner weighed 144lbs on the night to Ponce 136. Rees might not win, I think he will do well but lose, but he has a decent chance imo.
