Best Managed Careers in Boxing?

[FinitoxDinamita]

Andre Berto comes to mind. Berto is one of the first, decent fighter to get millions from Haymon. He is the first average fighter to get a taste of that haymon money.

This dude got so many undeserving opportunities and paydays, it’s crazy.

Berto definitely got luck on his side and he is one of those dudes who just got it made.

Pacquiao by far.

rios,algeary and horn > mcgregor and that skinny kick boxer he fought that weighed 120 and fought him at 147

No boxing man rates those as legit boxing wins so only an idiot would even count them, other than that meaning the real fights there is no way on Gods earth would Floyd get away with some of the fights Manny has.

Floyd Mayweather and it’s as clear as day.

Manny has had some seriously hard fights especially when you consider that he fought Barrera, JMM, and Morales a combined 10 times among others.

Also, Arum totally screwed him in the first Bradley and Horn fight.

Didnt Freddy made Manny get out from Muhammad Promotions because he thought that Muhammad was making Manny fight too many killers in 2004-2005 too fast and was afraid that he might get hurt and never get his true potential.

Mike Tyson

[Ca$ual Fan]

Spence and Davis

2 of Haymon's favorite sons

Observe how their incoming fights were properly advertised

Not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing but favoritism does exist

Murad Muhammad either low-balled their purses or scammed them that's why. Either way, they still have to thank them for their early fights in US, especially the Ledwaba fight. Doors were slowly opened because of them

Who in your opinion had the best managed career paths and right fights at the right moments in their careers? Who’s careeer was managed best?

Floyd. He engineered his career perfectly enough for him to have a case for goat but never fought any of his best wins in their primes. He has a lot of great names in his resume but corrales remains to be his best win against an absolute prime fighter. That says a lot

For comparison leonard has duran benitez hagler and hearns

[MDPopescu]

I would pick Canelo over him, the guy has had everything laid out for him. Even the Floyd blunder was a calculated risk for big cash and Canelo took minimal damage and only got better.


Floyd had it pretty rough until he beat De La Hoya.

... Canelo should came first -- as Oscar already had Loyd's blueprint...
