    Who are the most protected boxers at the present time?

    What boxers (and their managers/promoters) are the most reluctant to take on the top ten in their divisions?

    Eleider Álvarez comes to mind, as does Marcus Browne.

    Trout, Lara, Mayweather, Cotto, Golovkin x2.
    OP is not talking about corruption, he is talking about low risk opposition.

    Pulev and Anthony Dirrell come to mind.

    And also Clenelo should get a pass for “Tainted Meat” while Povetkin is a DRUG CHEAT.

    He just needs to not get KOd and he knows he will more than likely get the decision. Plus he takes drugs and gets away with it. Id say that is being protected
