    I'd imagine Floyd would have to be up there but his talent does play a part in his success.

    Brandon Rios is probably the latest example of a good B+ fighter who got a win thanks to his connections.

    Who else has been managed well? As in Reward >= Risk.

    Andre Berto was the first guy to come to mind for me, made a lot of money without really fighting decent opposition.

    I think HBO lost some money with his ass. Dibella got Berto a really good deal but Berto barely got anyone to watch his black ass.

    It has to be Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, hands down.

    Can't agree with Calzaghe, his late career proved he could have done more earlier and finished with a better resume. That said time will only increase the value on his '0'.

    Has to be all those fighters who are clearly limited but manage to retain either a belt, credability with the fans or some other factor that means they can keep beating trash and earning money.

    Arreola would be a good example, Tua another. Both get way more coverage, credability and therefore money than their record justifies.
