    They're not particularly good (they're not bad, just not top level).

    Andre Dirrell and Yuriokis Gamboa were supposed to be the legit TMT guys but 50 got them.

    Floyd is a bad promoter. He isn't giving them the care of cherry picking for them. He didn't match them carefully enough.

    A lot of them have had to cycle off their PEDS since getting caught. They don't have the same protection Floyd has.

    Needs to take more track and field classes how to run around the squared circle.

    A couple of obvious reasons.
    They are all good technical boxers but all seem to lack grit and/or chin.
    Most of them have been pretty sloppy with their peds too. You would expect with a big stable as TMT behind them they would be able to beat boxing's sub par testing, but somehow they all fail.
    Too much attention on them because of being a TMT member. Most wouldn't even have been on the radar if they had a small time promoter.

    Most of them just arent that good.

    Not terrible, the equivalent of British/Commonwealth champion type fighters, but none of them seem talented enough to step above that.

    Then again, most of them are young so who knows..

    Because most of them are talentless chumps who try way to hard to fight pretty and flashy either because they think they're the next Mayweather or nursing a lame chin and are so full of themselves that they think they are unbeatable

    If they weren't TMT fighters nobody would even know who they are. Or they'd at least be less critical of them.

    That was never the top three guys in TMT. When did any of them prove anything to put themselves ahead of a vet like Ishe Smith?

    When all three were undefeated they got lots of hype, sure, but they were all flash with no solid foundation.

    Shay put in years of toil before he got his shot. Was he a great titlist? No, he was actually pretty weak as titlists go. But he's still to date a lot more proven than any of these kids.

    Many boxers train hard, some don't and are still better on natural gifts and talent.
