    Pavlik at least had the nuts to move up to 170 to fight Hopkins when there were no big fights left at middleweight. He got embarrassed but at least he tried.

    Obviously Team GGG took note of that situation and don't want the same thing to happen to their boy.

      The guy in your sig and avatar lost to Saunders who would have won 119-109 with stamina.

          What does that even mean and why is it relevant?

          Literally doesn't affect or rebuff anything in my post. Try again.

            If he was with either Haymon, Arum or Oscar things would be moving along faster because those 3 have the connects in America that Loeffler and K2 Don't!
            ... he's had his last ten fights on HBO; how much more pull are you looking for?

                Don't bother with him, bro. He's like a teenage girl on her period sometimes.

                  You know he got outclassed by the Gyppo and won his rounds by face first brawling a gassed opponent.

                    What does that have to do with Proska being a complete and utter bum?

                      Manny career took off because of the MAB fight and the circumstance.

                      1. They had the same promoter if I'm not mistaken.

                      2. Manny looked like trash the fight before.

                      3. Manny took the fight on 2 weeks notice.

                      4. MAB was more confident in his craft.

                      Now tell me how is GGG being moved slow when he challenged the champion in 2010 and the fight was blocked. I'm sure GGG would have taken a fight with Martinez with 2 weeks notice but that didn't happen. Not GGG fault and not Martinez.

                      And you argument proves my point, Manny and GGG two fighters more talented than a guy like Broner has to fight their way to the top and wait on opportunities while the other is given opportunities.

                      Being moved slow and not getting opportunities as fast isn't the same thing. A guy like Russel year was moved slow, Wilder was moved slow.
                      Broner has moved up 4 divisions man..GGG has the same opportunity in Ward
