    Do you have a problem with GGG's promoter? Because he fights nothing but BUMS, and will continue making money fighting bums. Lets hear you complain about that guy.

      with arum out of the picture we would have got fights with Cotto, Oscar and DLH a lot sooner


      people don't like Haymon but the fighters are the ones taking all the risks...before Mayweather, Naseem Hamed and ODLH the only fighter making big bucks that was a non heavyweight was SRL

      He has helped the fighters a lot more than he hurt the sport

        Had he had Haymon at the beginning he would have never fought Castillo Corrales or Delahoya . Haymon babies his fighters. It was Delahoya who put Floyd as the next PPV star. Had he never fought Delahoya Floyd would have been on HBO after Dark for many years and faded away

          So clearing the entire middleweight division is bum fighting?

            Floyd owes everything to HBO and that 24-7 series. Fans, media and haters got to see Floyds "Money" character and he was gold from them on!!

              Arum made him a Hall of Famer - Haymon made him rich...

              Money is fleeting; status is forever - so idk

              None of this new generation I look at and say damn, that's HoF material. The management of them just doesn't persuade. Adrien Broner might literally be the worst "4-division champ" in history once he beats that dude. No style and no substance. He's just apart of a larger issue. Once the old guard is fully finished next year; its all downhill - the quality just isn't there. High hopes for Lomo and Verdejo

                Arum didnt make him a Hall of Famer, his work ethic and dedication to his sport did that.

                  Coupled with the matchmaking - he fought the fights necessary while under Arum that solidified his standing. Work ethic and dedication is fine and dandy so long as you are fighting the best. For the most part, under Arum he had a great run.

                  He was built by TR and their expert team of building fighters. They are the best in the business at building fighters. Sure he has burnt bridges with the big names like De La Hoya, May, Cotto and few others, but the impact TR had on their careers cannot be understated.

                    Matchmaking and building fighters is now called "cherry-picking" and frowned upon around these parts. lol
