I am not trying to sht on Al Haymon or Top Rank but what Golden Boy Promotions is doing is amazing for us fans.
They don't have an stacked stable like they used to, but they sure are matching their only "name" fighters with the highest challenges available.
You have Canelo fighting Cotto. You have Lemiux fighting fckin Gennady Golovkin. You have Matthysse who just beat Ruslan and is now fighting Postol next.
They are also trying to match Sadam Ali against Timothy Bradley.
Oscar and GBP are risking having their star fighters take losses to other companie's fighters but in the meantime they are giving us some good ass fights and that's all that should matter :boxing:

Well, this matchmaking sure came back to bite Oscar in the Booty...
You should eat a bag of dicks. You're the biggest Haymon dick rider I've ever seen. You can't even acknowledge when good fights are happening because your eyes are closed slobbering on Haymons knob.
I don't recall mentioning Haymon. Your problem is you catch feelings while I on the other hand is cool as a fan. Personally I don't see why your so butthurt. Are you going to sit there and really act like Schaefer wasn't the CEO of Golden Boy in 2013? The problem with you jealous bitc.hes is you can't even admit the obvious. That's why it's so hard to take anything you say seriously. Lol sitting there watching boxing with the gas face. Get a freakin life.
It was a great year for boxing because Schaefer was the one running sh.it over there. Oscar was face down in nose candy and he couldn't even make it to Canelo vs Mayweather. Yet you want to stand here and give him praises??? SMH...

I respect those fights. But Matthysse vs Crawford and Canelo vs golovkin are even better fights
Cotto vs Canelo will eventually happen whether Dela Hoya is involved or not.
Lemieux and Matthysse are the ones you should be giving Hoya credit for. They both went straight to battles. No marination needed. If these were Haymon fighters, they will line up a long line of cab drivers before heading straight to war.
canelo and cotto is tthe most evenly amtched and compelling "big fight" at middleweight.
that doesn't mean it's the "best" fight, however.
the best middlewieght on the planet is gennady golovkin. the most meaningful possible fights at the weight must involve him.
oscar is making a very good fight. he's not making the best fight. he's actually trying to block the best fights! he wants, or at least has talked about, canelo - cotto being a trilogy.
Not trying to put Oscar and GBP down, but they basically have to do that. You talked about Lucas-Postal, GGG-Lemuix and Cotto-Canelo. Well those are basically their only events left for the rest of the year. I just came from their website and their top fighters are:
Sadim Ali
Sharif Bogere
Canelo
Randy Caballero
Jojo Diaz
Mauricio Herrera
Bernard Hopkins ( 1 more fight left)
Tureano Johnson
David Lemiux
Jorge Linares
Lucas Matthysse
Antonio Orozco
Luis Ortiz
Gabriel Rosado
Francisco Vargas
I did however notice Amir Khan listed under their fighters. He wasn't there the last time I was at the website so not sure what that is about.
Wow, NSB always turning postives into negatives smh lol
Lol seriously. I agree with you Golden Boy are making the fans happy. And even though Haymons isn't matching top fights, as a boxing fan I love having fights to watch every weeksl, like last night's fox sports 1 card. Tuesday night fights. I didn't even know until I got home from work at 9 and saw it was about to start. Made my night.
He always made great figths look at 2013 was one of the best year in boxing, but then when he got infiltrated by Haymon boxing has literally been in a decline in form of great boxing matched.
Oh man, 2013 was the best year of boxing in perhaps the last 20 years.
Yes, Oscar De La Hoya is the best promotor today, he loves boxing and dares to make money-risky fights, and that the advantage of being a retired boxer yourself.

I'm a huge supporter of De La Hoya, he has conviction in what he says and I believe as a former fighter he really does have a respect for the sport and realises that Golden Boy Promotions is a part of the greater whole.
I hope he keeps it up.

Bradley is fighting Rios in Nov. Cotto/Canelo is not the best fight, but the most lucrative. Canelo/GGG is the best fight, but we understand why Cotto/Canelo is being made first.
I am surprised he made GGG/Lemuiex instead of Canelo/Lemeuix first, but my guess is HBO forced his hand.
He is keeping his company profitable and is making fights fans want to see so he dserves credit.
Call me when GBP has a stable of 160 fighters. Cotto is 120 years old and that's supposed to be the best available fight out there? It's not like Canelo is facing GGG.
I'm a Oscar hater but have to agree
Gb is doing better then I thought they'd do without Shaeffer/Haymon support as a boxing fan their matchups have been pretty good this year. They should be given props for Matthysse/Ruslan & Canelo/Cotto
Their not going down without a fight but I guess I shouldn't expect anything less coming from Oscar & Bernard.
Yes he has been making great fights unlike Haymon who could be having all those good welterweights fight each other but has them fighting Diaz and Collazo and other very average and safe opponents. His boys may never lose but they will never impress the fans either.
He has to take risks because his stable is so small. Back when he had everyone, he was putting on plenty of sh1t fights and protecting his fighters. He's putting his guys in dangerous fights now because he's desperate.
