Ex-champ Broner challenges Pacquiao

The former three-division champion Adrien Broner calls on to fight the eight-division champ Manny Pacquiao outside the 147-pound weight limit.

Boxing fans would be thrilled to watch the match but it is such an empty claim considering the former is with Al Haymon and Golden Boy while the latter is with Top Rank.

Broner, who succumbed to Marcos Maidana in 2013, said he just want to give a shout-out to Timothy Bradley, whose recent loss is with Pacquiao, because he thinks the Desert Storm didn't get the credits he deserved. He added that he could fight the PacMan at 115 if he could make it.
"And I want to give a shout-out to Pacquiao. And who knows? Sh**, I ain't scared to fight that motherf*****. Sh**, tell him to come on. I'll fight him. I don't care where we fight if I fight Pacquiao. Sh**, we can fight at 115 if I can make it."
Such bold words would remain as such because the match he wants would happen only in his fantasies. While many would surely want to see who gets pounded by whom, Bob Arum wouldn't want to arrange a mediocre match for his money maker.

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach already said that he is comfortable fighting at 140 pounds or in Light Welterweight division, which he already defeated Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto and recently Timothy Bradley Jr.
