You read some really stupid things in Facebook boxing groups. I was in one for years that was all boxing guys, then somebody screwed up and made...
In modern boxing, with the proliferation of world championships available, it seems like everybody gets to be 'world champion' for at least a...
Chavez would beat him, and it would be a pretty easy fight.
Mario Lopez is a very personable guy, interesting to talk to. I've met him a couple times at the Wild Card ...holy fuck, 18 years ago.
For a fight on the 17th, they would be ramping up sparring and going hard next week, then rest and stay sharp the week of the fight. I'm curious...
I think that Charlo would be the boxing equivalent of a bait dog.
Quartey would hurt him. It would make the Espana beating seem like kisses from a beautiful woman.
"Spinks' particular brand of stink" has made this whole thread worthwhile.
That first fight brings back a lot of memories. I watched it with Alberto Sandoval and his father. I think that Richard was there, too, but that...
When Oscar started Golden Boy, he stole many fighters from Ricardo Maldonado. Ricardo sued him for a variety of reasons. Years later the two of...
A few years back TR had a fighter that was 31-0 but his style was boring so they weren't trying to move him. But they used him, mostly as the "or...
Promoters have always had that power because they are the ones taking the risks financially, and fighters need fights. In my experience, if a guy...
Oh yeah that happens, and that is why you always have an independent manager, and you better hope your manager has juice with the promoter. A lot...

Yes.
Are you familiar with him? [MEDIA]
My understanding is that GBP is pushing the fight and that Garcia doesn't want it. Back when he was 17, 18 years old I thought that Ryan had an...
If he saw the Fury fight and doesn't take it seriously, AJ would have to be in the lead for the biggest dummy on earth.
He didn't do anything wrong except to be friends with a rat.
Check out his fight with Shig Fukuyama.
I remember buying that magazine at a newsstand.
The Roy Jones that fought Hopkins would not do well at all against Marvin Hagler. Not at all.
In 1992 Alex Stewart beat George Foreman into a gargoyle after overcoming a rough start. Against a 1994 Foreman, there is a chance that Wilder...
I don't know that Charlo would do as well against McCallum as Milton McCrory did, but maybe he would.
It is very hard to make money in boxing these days. Everybody that laces up gloves is convinced that they should get millions, and not every...
I think that is the likely outcome. Zarate was much more of a boxer than you would expect from a guy with that many knockouts. He would take his...
This fight would be horrible to watch. Between Broner waiting and Paz huffing and puffing, there might be 5 or 6 clean punches landed in 12...
Two of my favorites to watch. Six of one, half a dozen of the other to me.
3, 4, 12, 19, 20. With those you will develop the others, or be able to overcome them.
