    Todd DuBoef takes over and he'll be great for boxing I predict.

      Bob Arum is like The Phantom - when he dies another Bob Arum will take his place.

          i think top rank will be fine.

          i think todd runs most of it now.

          arum is more just the face of top rank now.

          he is too old to be involved in every little thing.

            Todd has a good relationship with a lot of boxers, but TBH that doesn't mean he will be a great main guy. ATM Arum gets a lot of the blame as the scap[egoat, but I am sure Todd is involved.

              Thats not good. Top Rank is a joke right now, I thought if anything boxing would benefit once Bob Arum was gone...

                    At the end of the day Bob calls the shots, especially with the big fights. Todd must do what he says. Sure he's the one doing a lot of the work or most of it, but under bob's orders. From interviews I've read in the past with Todd, he seems to have some very progressive ideas that boxing could benefit from. I think it's just that Arum is in the way of that and all his greed and his tunnel vision.

                    Arum is VERY oldschool, he's of a dying breed. I'm telling you a lot of the problems we see now with Top Rank will be gone or a lot better when Arum is done.
