Adrien Broner is expected to step back in the ring in March 2015, but he’s getting the hype train ready well in advance. He has no opponent lined up as of yet, but continues to talk about facing big names.
Recently, he made some of his strongest statements yet about whom he’d like to fight next. While he clearly called out Lucas “The Machine” Matthysse following his victory over Emmanuel Taylor, Broner now wants his rematch with Marcos Maidana.
Maidana handed Broner the first loss of his career, ending a 27-fight winning streak for the then-welterweight champion. Broner has since moved to 140 pounds, beating up Carlos Molina and Taylor in bounce back performances that rebuilt his stock. Now, he appears ready to step up in competition again.
If he’s not able to get Maidana in the ring, Broner has brought up Manny Pacquiao’s name several times as well. There was chatter prior to Pacquiao’s win over Chris Algieri in November about moving to junior welterweight, but that seems on hold while talks move along about a super fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"Chino or Pacman sign a contract to fight me," Broner is quoted. "I tasted defeat once but I won't lose again. Come fight me p***ies. Anybody can get it."
