With ESPN sometimes showing two shows a week, with showbox, OLN now, even soleo boxeo its not hard for a prospect to get on TV.

How many American based prospects are just never on TV early in their career? How do the Petersons get on TV, Allan Green, everybody with a decent promoter has connections and can get fights on ESPN or Shobox or whatever.
It's actually VERY hard for a prospect to get on TV. There aren't that many dates compared to how many prospects there are. For every guy you mentioned, there are 20-30 others out there. At least.

I don't see much that is very special in DHop . That is why I have a problem with him being where he is. He hasn't beaten anyone special( That last KO was very good but the fight itself? BOOOORRING) and is being matched up very carefully.

There will be plenty more of this until the guy beats someone credible. Someone that isn't on a recent losing streak like his last opponent who was Ko'd by other prospects and contenders .

I personally think D Hopkins is one of the better fighters riding the star of their Daddies or Uncles obviously Floyd Mayweather Jr. has the goods. Chaz Witherspoon is talented. and D. Hopkins is talented. but look at J.C. Chavez JR. this guys is on T.V all the time and i think he is shit. and Camacho JR is shit. all the kids like ( Mcgirt Jr,) many people deserve a TV slot over that kid. anyway thats my thought !
