I agree... only the problem is, they've tried that and he pulled out of the fights they had lined up. Had he stuck to the script, he'd have...
See, that part is something with which Top Rank has a major problem. He and his manager convinced Arum that he is clean and sober, and rededicated...
The fact that Vic Darchinyan was favored over Nonito Donaire wasn't so bad, considering where he was at the time. That he was a 7-1 favorite was...
Someone gave Guzman that nickname ("Little Tyson") strictly due to his facial expression and demeanor on the way to the ring. People commented...
They didn't hate each other at all. In fact, they couldn't even refrain from laughing during promo shoots where it called for an intense...
Benn/Eubank - Benn De La Hoya/Trinidad - Trinidad Lewis/Tyson - Didn't root, was fine with how it played out Holyfield/Bowe - Bowe Holyfield/Tyson...
Serious? For starters, his running around acting as if he's still MW and any kind of draw.
I was big on Pavlik for a while, during his Shobox/Versus days onward. Loved it when he beat Miranda and then when he got off the floor to knock...
I laugh at the fact that so many writers believed that Pavlik was truly reformed, just because his manager said so. The guy has proven to be...
The problem with boxing this year - and in recent times - is that networks have become lazy and are too dependent on American boxers (and...
I probably should've just added my last entry to this thread rather than start a new one, but this was from Friday morning. I actually stayed up...
Kick ass fight from the wee hours of Friday morning (Friday afternoon Thailand time). All the more reason why the lower weight classes should not...
Ha sorry. Just answered it now
I honestly don't know. Manny most likely won't fight until June (either against Bradley or... gasp... a 4th fight w/ Marquez). If that's the case,...
except he was never at his prime at 154. In fact, his one notable win - the Oscar rematch - was hardly a throwback performance. I would...
I'd take most versions of Oscar to beat Canelo, arguably even the one that showed up against Floyd as well. I think Canelo beats the Oscar that...
Calzaghe recovering from a knockdown (or two) to take a decision sounds about right to me.
Hey now!
I've always argued that he's a stand up guy (and still believe it for the most part). Lately, though, the dictator in him is beginning to come...
Yeah it only exists in the U.S. So that's the loophole for promoters taking fights beyond US borders, or commissions that don't fall within the...
I don't disagree, a rematch is probably the best thing. Just find Khan's actions amusing. A day after the fight, they claimed rematch was on for...
Peterson was the mandatory challenger. In the US, it's illegal to order an immediate rematch or demand options on a mandatory title fight...
Is that the guy who just beat Kameda (not Koki but his brother) last week? If so... well, I don't know who else he fought and beat this year, but...
Nonito deserves honorable mention as well. His last fight was so forgettable... that I literally forgot all about him. He was leading candidate on...
Doesn't matter what we think, Andre Ward is going to win hands down. Foregone conclusion as far as most with a vote are concerned. Had Brandon...
I don't remember $50 million being the number, but know that they saved quite a bit when: - Ward/Taylor became Ward/Green (saving about $650k...
Lightning Joe Gatti - I get why he was stuck with the nickname, but still. Junior The Hitter Witter - with the exception of Vivian Harris,...
Oddly enough - and this is perhaps the greatest argument against holding similar tournaments - his drawing power has regressed since the Kessler...
agREED with this 100% I like what I see from Bute, but was quite offputting that he elected to coast during the course of the Super Six, when...
Akira Yaegashi-Pornsawan Porpramook, baby! That and Marquez-Concepcion I are easily the best two fights of the year, with major separation...
Separate names with a comma.
