And what makes you you seemingly think AB simply waltzes to 140, he historically has had issues cutting and taking off weight, if he could have made 140, he would have ran there post Malinaggi
He was supposed to
Matthew Stafford already stated that Adrien Broner went against his management and team in order to FORCE the Maidana fight, when the plan was to go up to 147, beat Malignaggi for the belt, and then head back down to 140. AB instead got too cocky, didnt listen, and got beat for his disobedience to Haymon and Stafford.
He was never supposed to take another fight at 147 and that's why Stafford said, AGAIN, that win/lose/draw against Maidana in the rematch.....they were going down to 140 regardless
