    Beterbiev was offered a fight against Kovalev and he turned it down. Now he's on the shelf facing a year long layoff.

    Stevenson talking and ducking, and offer the fans nothing in return. His last fight was against a nurse and he is sitting on the shelf.

    Fonfara did well in knocking out a fat lazy fighter, but he too is still on the shelf doing nothing.

    The most frustrating things is that all 3 doesn't have fights and they are not fighting each other. Adonis is on the way out, but his ego is too big to admit it and he won't give Fonfara a rematch. Beterbiev is a beast and would give Ward a nightmarish fight, but he's wasting his talents. Fonfara is decent, but why isn't he more active?

    175 is a really exciting division right now and these guys are just sitting around instead being a part of it.

    They are all making good money but this lag between fights is not good for their career.
    Haymon has an ego issue just like Floyd but inactivity works for Floyd and not everyone else.

    I'm sure someone has tried to tell him but he does what he wants and micro manages everything.
    He knows business but not boxing at all. He is clueless about what people what to see because he is a suit and does not watch this **** himself.

    It would be better if:
    Arum did the match making.
    Haymon made the purses
    Dana White promoted it
    Oscar dealt with the fighters
    and Mayweather hinted at fighting them to the media.

    His problem is that he's paying fighters too much and then not have enough for them to fight again right after. It seems to me, based on all the pattern of Haymon fighters is that he can only afford for them to fight no more than twice a year.

    The worst part...they're a bunch of mismatches. So you get a fighter who fights twice a year against tomato cans and then they do it again the next year. The fighter has no way to advance his career.

    That's why you have guys like Garcia, Stevenson, Beterbiev and Thurman struggling to get to the next level.

    As PBC money dries up his fighters are getting less fights.
    Stevenson fought a pointless Karpency fight and now is back almost a year later in July? Absolute joke.

    Beterbiev hasn't fought since June, comes back a year later this June then off to Ramadan break...another joke.

    Beterbiev should have took the chance when it came and Stevenson should just fight Kova on HBO, dude has three fights max left before he loses to anybody half decent.

    The worst part is that they have to shake off ring rust constantly.

    If Stevenson is smart, take the fight against Kovalev on HBO and get it over with. If he wins, he's going to get the Ward fight as well. Right now, he's got little to no leverage and his career is almost over.

    So why hate and concentrate on GGG so much specifically if that's what everyone does anyway?

    Beterbiev certainly is not where he should be career wise. He's got the talent to be a champion.

    beterbiev just had surgery though... can't fight while you recover from surgery.

    stevenson made 4 million his last fight I'm sure he is crying over a forum post.
