    Who is currently the most over-protected boxer?

    Sometimes we wonder why seemingly-talented boxers continue to face mediocre opposition. I've seen fighters actually regress after fighting poor opposition for several years, Matvey Korobov is a good example.

      GGG is protected. There's a reason why he has faced poor opposition.
      Rigo is protected. His team keep avoiding the big fights.
      David Haye is protected too.

              I am on record that HBO is being incredibly selective in who they approve to fight GGG.

                  So you are saying Gennady the cab driver killer doesn't fight all ATG every fight out I'm sure NSB will disagree with that.

                      Rigo protected? You realize he fought an arguably top 5 p4p before having 15 fights, right?

                                      What are you talking about?

                                      Yes, he was matched very carefully, except for his big payday against Wlad.
                                      Yes but GGG and Rigo won't move up in weight. There's no one to fight or that a fight they could get. If you are so good then move up.

                                      Dibella won't put Martinez with GGG and is ducking I agree.
                                      Rigo aint going to get fights at a catch weight, he's got no fans or drawing power in viewers.

                                      Move up.
