Has Al Haymon tarnished these guys reputations?

[Bullrider]

Good assessment.

This site is infested with fantasy kids. Can't blame them, really.
That's all you can really do in this Haymon infested sport.

TBH, I don't really care who does well in this business, TR, GBP, Haymon, who cares? Hell, I even rooted for 50 cent to do well... If Ellerbe and Schaefer could find a way to do business together and try to make good fights, I'll root for them as well.

Fans generally just want good fights. They want to see recognized fighters fight each other after being built up already fighting scraps. It's insulting to see them fight nobodies when another recognized fighter is available.

No he wouldnt be TBE. JMM isnt and he put Pac to sleep.

JMM lost to a lot of other fighters, Floyd hasn't. He still wouldn't be TBE but he'd have a better case for it and he wouldn't be known ducking chump like he is known as currently.

Any guesses who Broner is fighting next?
How about Matthysse, Garcia, Peterson, Santa Cruz, Quillin, Stevenson, you know, Haymon fighters?

[al-Xander]

So the justification Espinoza pulled out of his ass, backed by TBE fanboys, in stealing Stevenson from HBO didn't materialize after all, eh? Wasn't he supposed to be rewarded the Hopkins fight? Not only this guy's rep was tarnished, the promise of huge money didn't even come.

How about Quillin? What's in store for him? This guy will likely remain an undercard fighter.

Not sure why so many people believe Haymon has some great plan that's going to be great for boxing. Haymon has always been about making low risk fights with high paydays for his fighters, nothing he's done has led me to believe he's suddenly going to change that.

Good observation.

If you can't see the big picture that's your problem, and no doubt reflects your lack of business acumen.

Have you already forgotten how Project Berto completely transformed the sport as we know it?

Any recent Haymon news?

Danny Garcia
Adonis Stevenson
Peter Quillen

I think Al Haymon has something big in store for us over the next couple of years. (whether or not it pans out remains to be seen) I think that is the reason for all the TBA's and easy fights for his fighters.

But has the damage already been done? Are their reputations already damaged to the point of no recovery? These were guys with some major hype behind them at one point and now they are basically the laughing stock of boxing and the butt of many jokes.

Which other fighters reps has he tarnished in your opinion?


Speak on it?

I don't follow Adonis or Peter's carreers but you are reaching about Danny Garcia. Just because his last two fights have been garbage doesn't mean his whole carreer has been like that. Danny is still young, he has been in there with elite opposition before and he will do so again. I can almost guarantee you that his next fight is going to be against an elite fighter. Not all fights can be big fights. Just ask "the fighter of the decade" who takes on garbage such as brandon rios and chris algiero every now and then..

Al Haymon is ruining boxing period, he refuses to let his fighters take risks.

Totaaaaally true dude all his fights include Rod Salka and dec 13 at the MGM is not happening

[Bigg Rigg]

Quillin was a bum ass champion who never even headlined a card and was about to get stopped by lame rosado. Stevenson is the biggest p*ssy in boxing. Ducked Kovalev like a plague! At least Danny fought matthysse when everyone wanted that fight. Aside from the salka assault, idk why anyone would think bad about Garcia. The Herrera decision wasn't his fault. He should have lost but won. I guess u can be mad at Al for corrupting judges some how but thats it imo.
