Adrien "The Problem" Broner is making waves again by claiming power-punchers Lucas Matthysse and Marcos "El Chino" Maidana don't want to get in the ring with him.
In an interview with Vlad TV Broner talked boldly about wanting either of them for his next fight. "Y'all heard what I said, I didn't sugarcoat nothing," Broner said.
"Lucas knows what's up, man. Those guys don't wanna fight me, man. Maidana don't wanna fight me again. Matthysse don't wanna fight me. They don't wanna fight me. I gave Maidana the worst fight of his life on the worst night of my life. They don't wanna see that again. And I'm healthy."
He then predicted a result if he does get the rematch with Maidana that he covets. "I'll stop Maidana. It's not even about knowing what I know, it's just, I'll be a totally different person," Broner said.
The man who has dubbed himself "The Problem" said he lost to Maidana in December 2013 because he didn't fight intelligently in an effort to please the fans.
"A lot of people don't understand boxing. I say I beat myself because when I fought Maidana, I fought with my heart. I didn't do what I could have done. It would have been a one-sided fight. People would have been upset, probably, but I would have won that fight, for sure, easy," Broner said.
Despite his bold statements, and a recent Instagram post in which he issued challenges to Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao as well, his trainer Mike Stafford was reluctant a few weeks ago to put Broner in a match with a high-profile opponent.
"Right now we're just looking for someone to get it on with that's just like Emmanuel [Taylor]. We're just taking our time and picking the right opponents for Adrien [Broner]," Stafford said.
