    Wade, Martin, Browne: are Al Haymon's boxers really world-class?

    Seeing Al Haymon's boxers recently - Dominic Wade, Marcus Browne, and Charles Martin makes me wonder whether most of his boxers are really world-class.

    There are a few good ones, but most of the PBC boxers seem mediocre.

    I don't think they were called world-class.

        You mentioned 3 guys who are essentially at the prospect level and just recently started to step up. What does that prove?

          Spence just obliterated a quality opponent.

          Haymon has plenty of very good world class fighters. He also has one of the largest stables in boxing, so of course there is going to be mediocrity among those names.

            He has a lot of great fighters. They don't get the respect though because they don't fight each other is the problem.

                Come on now, Algieri is pathetic

                If Spence fought someone good like Kell Brook and won, it would prove something

                  Algieri is a former world champ who damn near beat Amir Khan. He's a top 10-15 fighter and Spence made him look like a bum. Algieri had never been destroyed like that. It was highly impressive.

                    Not much more to say after this.
