    Amir Khan is a joke, and Algieri lost to him

    Algieri looked pathetic against a faded Pacquaio, knocked down four times.

          Im pretty sure every promoter has mostly mediocre fighters with one or 2 exceptional fighters...

          Top rank has crawford,,, maybe verdejo

          GBP has canelo

          PBC has danny, maybe spence


          No one is loaded with talent like say top rank was in 2004 when they had morales, barrera, cotto, floyd, etc

                yes he has a lot of mediocre boxers

                Frampton and Selby are okay, most are runners in the ring and duck decent opposition

                I wonder will Jacobs drop the WBA belt if he's forced to fight GGG

                  There are a few good ones, but most of the PBC boxers seem mediocre.
                  broseph, haymond has 100+ fighters now, theyre not all world class.

                  wade aint world class but the bogus ABC's list him as a contender. Go blame them

                    It takes fights to become a world class fighter. None of the fighters that you mentioned had the proper fights to get to that level before being thrown on the world stage. All of that falls more on Al, and his whole cash strapped problem. At this point, he has to feed his fighters to other promoters just to stay afloat.
