Top Rank...get KNOCKED OUT, land a big fight right after...

[ny123]

Learn to understand the little things, Am talking about Arum's fighter fighting other fighters from other promotional banner who were coming off impressive wins.

Not those in house fights, I have already said i do not have any problem with those in house fights but it would be nice to see other top rank fighters fight other fighters who are coming off a great win.

Pacquiao beating Hatton and then fighting another Top rank/Arum fighter is a win-win for Top rank/Arum. Pacquiao coming of a Hatton win and then fighting a non-Arum fighter etc Mosley is a risk for Arum.

Cotto>Margarito>Pacquiao>Clottey etc none of them have beating a fighter from other promotional company who was coming off an impressive win in the last few years, If you can find one i would apologies....but i would wait.

mosley fought and beat collazo then fought cotto is that one?

If Pac/May is made then Pac would be fighting a guy coming off an impressive win who is not under Top Rank

Great example, And thats what i meant.. I havent seen that in a while with Arum fighters, But as usual some morons would take this as an attack on Pacquiao.

yeah but whats the difference what promotional banner the fighter is on as long as his opponent just came off an impressive victory? i guess i can see your point about how arum is keeping it in house but if he is putting on good fights for the most part who cares

Nah, If the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight gets made that would a very good example of a Top rank/arum fighter fighting a Non-arum fighter (Mayweather) Who was coming off an impressive win (the Mosley win).

Thats what i havent seen from Arum in a few years, And am looking at Pavlik and more Arum fighters now just to see.

Difference is Top rank wouldnt fight someone who is coming off a great win. Unless the fighter who was coming from a great win happens to be under their promotional banner.

Margarito fought Mosley after he beat Maryorga but looked bad doing so, Had he beaten Maryorga the way he beat Margarito i doubt Arum would have had Margarito in there with Mosley.

Yeah he KO i saw the fight but he wasnt impressive at all, He struggled and the more reason why Arum/Top rank didnt hesitate in putting Margarito in there with Mosley. You got an example yet? Of a Top rank fighter facing another fighter coming off an impressive win?

First lets name the top rank fighters:

1) Manny Pacquiao (dopey the dwarf aka cash cow of top rank)
2) Yuri Foreman (one legged pirate)
3)Miguel Cotto (The punch drunk slugger)
4) Margarito (Bloated gloves)
5)Clottey (The disgrace of boxing period)

Clottey loses baldomir, margarito and recently Cotto (on paper) then gets the biggest payday in his life in his next return bout against Pacquiao. Margarito gets his clock cleaned By Mosley last year, the same Mosley who was considered old and washed up by Floyd haters. He loses by KO and i mean burtal KO and gets suspended for cheating a whole year and is in running for the biggest payday of his career. Cotto gets dominated and stopped by Pacquiao and that sets him up for a title fight at 154 against a one legged pirate Foreman. Now he is also in the running to face Pacquaio who he just lost to not even half a year ago for his eigth title?


Are these the only fighters on the planet? wheres Bradley, Berto, Alexander, Ortiz etc. Theres other fighters out there willing to fight these guys other then there top rank buddies....


Top Rank is the only place where a fighter can be burtally beat and still land a HUGE payday their next fight. I guess thats possible when all the fighters in the same stable are fighting each other...Bob Arum is keeping all the money in house...if u cant see whats going on in boxing then people need to wake up...some of this fights are PHONY!!!!!

so true.

golden boy would never have their fighters fight each other.

you'd never see golden boy fights featuring fighters that just lost too.
