Can you blame the guy?

World class gym, world class sparring, world class trainers

They do everything possible to get you to succeed. They get you dates on showtime. They'll put you on a Floyd undercard. They'll get you a nice big ring so you can move around. They get you the right opponents.

Hell they got Ishe Smith a title shot & he fought nothing but bums until he got that Bundrage fight.

Think about this. TMT had Jleon Love & Badou Jack on the verge of getting title shots.

Now that I think about it, TMT would be a great place for top tier fighters. I mean look at what they are doing with what they have now.
very very good point, props!

@theflyest well bey has a shot at Vazquez belt on the floyd - maidana undercard....which I fully expect him to lose. Vazquez maybe a horror to watch but dude has a unique way of nullifying big punchers/boxer-punchers

Yeah the problem with these guys, even if they were to somehow win a title, they would just lose it in their next fight like Ishe did.

You can use your connections with the sanctioning bodies & try to position these guys into title shots all you want, but if they don't have it, it doesn't matter

funny thing is, one of them 4 loses was to badou jack, who made easy work of porky. when this shyt got made i was like :wtf: why they having j leon fighting porky after badou ko'd him and considering he's had some decent wins like rosado and peribian, this aint no step forward.

mom dukes was all in his face telling him to wake up, like it was the first day of school for him :dead: shyt got to be hard to get ko'd like that in front of your moms like that.

Yeah I realized that too. I guess they were going to turn Porky into a TMT jobber or something.

I said this month's ago. I was thinking that maybe he should think about buying Ward out, if that's possible and develop a relationship with Cotto like he has with DLH. Let Angel continue to fight independent but keep putting money in his pocket.

To be fair that ishe - molina fight could have gone either way...that fight was a style clash gone wrong..wasn't like ishe got beaten down or anything

What gives their bad rep is half of them are drug cheats and undisciplined who just happened to be Floyd's little nikkas from the gym

I agree. Floyd can't be on his drug test shyt and have his weed carriers testing positive

I really like what Tyson's promotional company has been doing. They really recruited nothing but really young talent, so it's gonna be awhile before they make any noise, but this shyt doesn't happen overnight.

With TMT, it's like fighters go to the Mayweather gym to train & if Mayweather takes a liking to you, your on TMT. It's ridiculous. A guy like Mayweather really should have better talent.


Yup Tyson's whole promotional company is slowly building a great rep making exciting fights and its nothing but young guys (aside from Guzman). Iron Mike out here employing a gang of Dominicans :blessed:
