    Good looking out..Out of these which can be a star on Pac, Cotto, Level. WE already know the lower weights never do as well as the upper. Which sucks cause they are just as good if not better. Who will be able to step up and be a star? Timothy Bradley will be good but he doesnt have that it factor. Hes a great a fighter but just doesnt have "it"

      Couldn't tell you and honestly I don't fret about it. As long as I can still watch them fight it doesn't matter to me.

        Top Rank will always be superior to Golden Boy Promotions because they know how to groom and market their young fighters, guiding them along the way. Arum was instrumental in getting both Floyd and Oscar to the sort of status and recognition they enjoy today.

        Then you look at how Golden Boy manages Ortiz's coming out party. He gets KO'd by Maidana. And quits. He was being highly touted and now he's not really a factor. Canelo will be interesting to watch, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a managerial misstep.

          No, GBP is bigger...

          TR has the better quality stable, which is why this cold war is hurting them more.

          JMM could have been facing Soto or Rios and giving them a career high payday on HBO, instead they're facing Antillon and Acosta. JMM still gets to make of couple million fighting Morales and then fighting Khan or Guerrero.

          GBP still has the HBO deal, a Telefutura deal, an FSN deal, the AEG partnership, etc.

          I just realized this, but the more I talk about it, the more I see neither are really hurting from it, which is probably the reason why they're still at odds.
