    For example, on Friday Lara will take on shot to smithereens Yuri Foreman, then we probably won't see him again until 2018.

    If you compare that to let's say Golovkin- he's gonna smash through glass chinned Jacobs, then probably take care of his IBF mando, follow that up in September with giving Canelo a smacking, then finish off in December by claiming all the gold winning the WBO belt. Unifying all the belts and breaking the defense record, with fighter of the year honors to follow.

    We could go further. Compare who Joshua is fighting next to Wilder.

    Agreed. Beterbiev is just being kept in a holding pattern to keep him away from the pimp.

    DeGale needs to come back to Uncle Eddie too.

    Let's see.
    Al Haymon has the best fighter with the era's best legacy; Floyd Mayweather.
    Al also Garcia, Thurman, The Charlos, Russell, and many other possible great legacy fighters under his wing.

    Next to Al Haymon, Top Rank has pacquaio, the second biggest legacy of the era.

    Roc Nation is the new kid on the block but still managed to get two absoluet legacy fighters under their umbrella; Andre Ward and Miguel Cotto.

    Duva has Kovalev, who at the pace he is going will most probably leave a great legacy in his wake.

    K2 has zero absolute legacy fighters. Fighters with Calzaghe like questionably debatable legacies.

    LOL, even Richard Scheafer's new promotion company is signing more talent in the short period of their existence.

    So I agree with you.

    PBC is expecting a big year, so hoping they succeed there. Think they have to in order to keep competing, although the other stables aren't as deep as they used to be. He should stay for now, but seriously reconsider once his contract is up.

    Guys who might have one decent fight every 4 years a so then fight a few bums between. Really legacy defining.

    Thurman - Porter, and now Thurman - Garcia. It don't get much better than this except, Charlo - Williams and, Kovalev - Ward .
    All of these are at least 2 levels over, Golovkin - Brook.

    He was for a while, but it sounds like he's out of money to throw away on bull**** fights.
