    Warren and DiBella.

    Excepting the Calzaghe and Hatton disputes, he really looks after his fighters financially. They get well-paid, superficially solid records and 'safe' careers. He is risk averse, but he also knows when someone's ready to be stepped up on the whole. He's a business man first and a fight fan second.

    DiBella's a small fish promoter in real terms, but he really looks out for his fighters' interests. Without him, how many TV slots would the powder-puff punching Malignaggi have gotten? How would Martinez have ended up fighting for the lineal MW championship after a close loss?

    Plus, he was the first to back off from Taylor's career, saying he couldn't be party to him getting seriously hurt. That's brave and shows the respect he has for fighting men.

    Some of the smaller promoters who have/are been boxers/trainers care a lot more for their boxers, your Dave Coldwell's, Carl Greaves, Errol Johnson etc
