Is it wise for talented young boxers to sign with Top Rank?

    Has Top Rank been ruining the careers of multiple talented boxers like:

    Lomachenko (meaningless opposition, poor pay for big fight, Top Rank won't pay for decent opponent)
    M Garcia (talented fighter, career now ruined) :-(
    Rigo (thankfully now free) :good
    Walters (offered low pay for big fight, should make over $1 million for fighting Loma)
    Crawford (meaningless opposition)
    Postol (long period of inactivity after winning world title)
    Korobov (low pay, no meaningful opponent in SIX years before Lee, faded)
    Gvozdyk (always off TV, poor pay)
    Zewski (low pay & meaningless opposition until he went into a decline)
    Mekhontsev (fought nobody since signing, low pay, now fading)


    Mayweather and De La Hoya, considering their talent, were paid poorly with Top Rank, but went on to make big money after breaking away.
