He really was the Golden Boy and he fought damn newer everybody in and around his weight class. So that makes it weird that he handles his fighters in the complete opposite fashion.

Probably sees that most aren't really built like that anymore

I don't think Floyd's legacy would've been damaged one bit if the judges gave it to Castillo or ruled it a draw. It probably would be better for boxing because these new dudes are scared to lose their 0 so they duck and make accuses

i thought he had a bad stutter or spoke much slower. it seems like he gets his thoughts out clearer or that he can say what he thinks better, if that makes sense. last time i heard bowe, many years ago, it felt like he was more in a fog.

Yep TR the gold standard for prospect development nowadays..they signed a bunch of young BLACK talent so one of them gots to blow and make it big. They made and even cut off Berlanga before he spoiled on the vine if it was PBC they would have still been rolling him out there to he eventually get upset by a scrub.

And with Fulton, who has been amazing so far, he should be way bigger. Top Rank would have put all the marketing into him and he would be in PFP discussion. Charlo a unified champ with barely any buzz. Look at the work they did with Bud Crawford, he is a mainstay in the PFP list with a questionable at best resume.

Man this is complete and total BULLSHYT

Arum literally has a pending lawsuit for being a racist cracKKKer to his fighters. Selective memory is a mf.

Crawford the best fighter in the world he should have BEEN a megastar. Arum is live in 4k calling him a worthless unmarketable piece of shyt as he sat atop P4P lists. Has't made shyt his whole career fxcking with them.

TR nothing but a slave plantation. You don't get brownie points throwing some starter deals at black kids and not doing anything to help them. Shakur should be WAYYY bigger than he is now but TR promotion is laughably trash. They only promote non-blacks. They sign a bunch of black fighters in hopes to get a Floyd who is a gifted SELF PROMOTER. They do nothing to build black fighters up with their platform.

Charlo went undisputed, and TR/ESPN left his black azz off of their P4P list. Same with Haney.

Meanwhile PBC has made Tank the face of boxing and he doesn't even have a belt.

I see you way too emotional about this to have a good faith argument. TR maybe racist but this is America racism ingrained into all the institutions. How many young black fighters had PBC got compared to TR or anybody else. PBC built their hood brand on poaching fighters from other promoters. Sampson Boxing > PBC if we talking about taking a fighter from scratch. PBC like Jay-Z on soem “ Come on over here to your brothers at PBC so we can save you from the evil white man, even tho he built you up and gave you a name but we brothers and since u got a buzz and a name I will save you” mind you they barely giving young black fighters a chance. No black fighter under PBC getting treated like Vito Mielnicki Jr, Joey Spencer , Brandon Lee. PBC handling them with kid gloves.

I think TR actually over achieved with Crawford, supposed to be in his prime he was facing an over the hill Amir Khan and Brook, without the TR/ESPN push he would get treated like lil Charlo (who has a better resume) . Arum was just keeping it real, he said he was losing money on Crawford but he still was paying him above market..if Crawford was so much a start why ain’t DAZN, GoldenBoy, PBC, Saudis offering him abag to be exclusive to them. It is proven he can’t get out of his own way.

Tank is the exception not the rule, and he is most def not the face of boxing . That’s an extreme casual viewpoint and I’m not taking any fighter serious with only a reggie belt to his name. My

TR/ESPN has no incentive to promote Charlo tho, if they did have Charlo please believe he would be a mainstay in the PFP rankings.
