    Haymon has to learn from Arum's mistakes on the FW division

    In 2014, Arum controlled 4 of the 5 FW champions (WBA Super-Donaire, WBA Regular-Walters, IBF-Gradovich, WBO-Lomachenko). The 5th FW champion (WBC-Gonzalez) was a promotional free agent. There were so many exciting unification fights that were there to be made. Due to Arum's greed and incompetence, we only received one-Donaire vs. Walters, a cracking fight.

    Haymon finds himself in a similar position in 2015. He controls 4 of the 5 FW champions (WBA Super-Santa Cruz, WBA Regular-Cuellar, WBC-Rusell Jr., IBF-Selby). In addition to those 4 champions, Haymon has Mares and Gonzalez in the fold. Plus Frampton at 122 and Rigondeaux rumored to sign.

    Haymon needs to learn from Arum's mistakes and put together some exciting FW unifications. We saw one last night, there should be at least 5 more that we can get excited about.

        There have been a few good ones but they may have not lived up to the hype. Thurman-Guerrero, Garcia-Peterson, Broner -Porter, Dirrell-Degale .

          Haymon is a natural. Natural mismatch maker. The word "mistake" doesn't go along with a natural. It's an oxymoron.

            Guerrero is shot . That's why nobody picked him to win

            Dirrell-Degale a purse bid

            Broner porter always was gonna be ugly fight. Haymon matchmakers obviously didn't know this

            Garcia Peterson is good

              You don't know **** about boxing ****boy.

              Thurman-Guerrero, Garcia-Peterson, Lee-Quillin, Dirrell-DeGale, Kameda-McDonnell I + II, Glowacki-Huck, Khan-Algieri, Santa Cruz-Mares, etc.

              What have your butt plugs at HBO done this year, besides PPV mismatches and the glorification of cowards like Golovkin?

                I don't really see what Arum did wrong. He made Donaire-Walters, Walters won by KO and then lost his belt on the scales. Gradovich lost to his mandatory, Selby. Lomachenko was supposed to fight Walters but as mentioned, he failed to make weight and lost his belt.

                    Why not make Walters-Lomachenko? Why have them fights bums in the interim? All that does is set up roadblocks.
