It would have been preferrable to have a more relevent opponent for Forrest.
Teddy Atlas doesn't like Emmanuel Steward.
He was considered the best of the champions, but the titles were still splintered. Hopkins hadn't actually proven anything in the ring against...
He was the man because he beat Antwun Echols twice and needed two fights to beat Robert Allen?
That's because both Joppy and Holmes had to reclaim their titles from guys who'd beaten them previously. They just weren't considered that...
Perhaps Mayweather only likes to be called out when it's been scripted by HBO. :dunno:
How is that any different from Hopkins between '95-'01? They were both single belt holders in splintered divisions for much of their title...
I think part of the problem with the belief in Hatton's style was the fact that, as in the Collazo fight, there were serious questions about...
Agreed. Hopefully Adamek-Bell lands on ESPN Classic. Whatever the channel, be it HBO, Showtime, MSG, or whatever, it's better to have these...
Don't forget about Larios-McCullough. Ended up being a pretty good fight. I didn't think it warranted a rematch, but a much better scrap than...
Mayweather hurt him in the 8th and the final round with the same punch.
Exactly. Cotto is simply a better pressure fighter than Hatton. His pressure is constant. Hatton jumps in and out, but he's very vulnerable...
You're comparing Hatton favorably to Cotto? Perhaps you should watch Hatton-Collazo and Cotto-Quintana just to refresh your memory.
It's hard to imagine there being much interest from HBO or Showtime in airing this as a main event given how it played out...these guys are Shane...
And James Kirkland-Eromosele Ablert has "been accepted" for BAD in May. Steve Kim: -There's a very good possibility that the IBF super...

On Don King's website, along with Devon Alexander-Miguel Callist. Dan Rafael: Promoter Don King heads to St. Louis next week to make...
It will be another special edition of Shobox, like Guerrero-Litzua. Shobox is definitely improving the quality of it's fights by broadening the...
With Andre Ward-Rubin Williams on March 20th. Not a great fight by any stretch, but at least there may be some live boxing on FSN.
JKGaucho: (DC): Any word on the buy rate for last week? Dan Rafael: (1:43 PM ET ) Nothing definite but I am told it did around 225,000 buys,...
But then be honest about the middleweight division Hopkins cleaned out. The two other belt holders in the tournament (Joppy and Holmes) were...
Dan (Nutley, NJ): Any updates on the Witter vs. Hopkins front? Dan Rafael: (1:09 PM ET ) The fight is off. HBO will instead show...
Dan Rafael: "Here's the real story: Floyd broke his nose because Show turned the wrong way from what was scripted and Floyd caught him by...
Fightnews: Cotto tells Mayweather to 'stop making excuses!' Miguel Cotto doesn't normally call out opponents, but the unbeaten WBA...
He got credit for those wins?
The point is analyzing the fighters at the weight class where the fights took place. How much does a "win" (loss) over DLH at 147 prove about...
Trinidad's "undefeated"ness is a bit exagerrated, given the DLH fight, and Kessler classified as a top "prospect" is interesting given that he'd...
Mentally, it's a possibility, though he's definitely in shape physically...238 is the lowest he's been in years.
Those are some really nice photos.
