    GBP has such a big roster compared to TR where fights arent being recycled constantly. with top rank its basically like guys are fighting each other for a shot at pacquiao.

    on the other hand, abner mares has been matched pretty tough and has fought perez, darchinyan, agbeko, morel, moreno...i dont think any of those guys were with GBP
    not saying morel is a tough out or even relevant these days, but hes not a GBP fighter

      true, you make valid points,, i was just responding to the OP who thinks TR is afraid of GBP fighters,,,

      Im pretty sure they would put chavez in vs canelo,, manny vs danny or khan, etc..

        Martinez and Golovkin are not TR fighters.
        They both want Floyd's at 154.
        There's no Arum to deal with.
        What's the problem?

        These effing Floyd fanatics polarizes everything -
        SHO vs HBO, TR vs GBP, Pac vs Floyd, Power vs Skill,
        you name it. All because of their blind love for the duck.

        Worst fanbase in boxing.

          So I guess that logic failed .... never mind ....
          Martinez is not a Top Rank fighter...he also wanted to fight Manny and at a catchweight and we heard...crickets

            Its not like GBP goes out of its way to make fights with other none TR fighters,,

            Quillen vs GGG, SERG, Murray for example
            Good examples... 3 non-TR fighters ...

              Amazing how all the sudden Floyd has to fight Middleweights....but Ward has also called out both Martinez and GGG yet they do not want to fight him..hell they wont even fight each other

                the truth is Oscar dela Hoya and Shafter is terrified of doing business with Bob because they know they can never be on top, they will always be left holding the shorter end of the stick.

                    these days, i honestly believe arum and hoya dont want to put any kind of money into each others pockets. same goes for floyd and arum. i dont think the fighters themselves should be criticized so much for "ducking" in those situations.

                      As long as Goldenboy does buisness with Floyd they will sell more ppv..Floyd alone sold 3 million ppv headlining 2 cards himself..how much ppv did top rank do this year?
