Broner's Time Is Almost Up
“Broner should hope to fight Mayweather immediately after Canelo has had his turn. Here's the math: Since you can't read three sentences about Broner without seeing the name Mayweather, somebody has done their job. But here's the thing. This kid is light years away from entering Mayweather's orbit. They should cash this ticket as soon as possible, because he has an expiration date coming up quickly. He is not the next great fighter. What he is, is Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, and Paris Hilton rolled into one. And since he's in the 43rd minute of his 45 minute run, it's “gettin' while the gettin' is good” time. If Floyd can't carry the B-side like Oscar did, what chance would Broner have? In the run-up to the fight, can you picture him bantering via translator with a Latino fighter? Can you imagine him not having a Paulie Malignaggi to play off of? You'll have people cringing and switching channels at a furious pace. Really, can you fathom Broner being the lead dog in the parade? I've watched Broner and he shows no signs of being a dominant, world class fighter. He is not De La Hoya. He is not Mosley. He is not Pacquiao. He is certainly not Mayweather. And he never will be.” —Dino DaVinci doesn't think the world of Broner

YOU GUYS ROCK
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike

(MGM) Grand Illusions
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May

War Torn But Still Dangerous
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
