One thing about Bob arum. Him and his matchmakers know how to develope their fighters.
Arum doesn't give you the most competative fights though. Top Rank baby their fighters too long and build up to fights you want to see before leaving it too long so the fight ends up past its sell by date.

JuanMa Lopez vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa is a prime example. JuanMa was guided way too long until a 50-50 fight in some people's eyes was never made and became a total mismatch.

Kelly Pavlik was hailed a a Middleweight killer but other than Taylor, he never really beat a top Middleweight.

Chavez Jr. is another one.

Then look at who Mikey is beating to become a 2 weight world champion. Rocky Martinez. How he was a 2 time champion I'll never know.

To me these fights are conning the public. I much prefer the way Golden Boy does things with their sink or swim attitude towards prospects.
