By Manuel Perez: There’s only two more weeks before Manny Pacquiao meets his doom against Miguel Cotto on November 14th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao looked worried on HBO’s Pacquiao-Cotto 24/7 episode 2 show this past weekend. I could see fear growing on Pacquiao’s face as Cotto’s name was being mentioned.

By Chris Williams: David Haye is raring to go for his match this Saturday night against World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev. Haye believes that he’s going to handle Valuev without too many problems and knock him out in an impressive fashion to capture the seven foot Russian’s WBA title. “I’m ready to explode [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Arthur Abraham (31-0, 25 KO’s) finds himself in the enviable position of leading the pack of super middleweights in the Super Six tournament by virtue of his 12th round knockout of Jermain Taylor. Abraham’s victory has had the effect of turning him from the fighter who least was predicted to win the [...]

By Francisco Hernandez: When Manuel Pacquiao refused to fight Juan Manuel Marquez a third time, Marquez decided to chase Pacquiao into the lightweight and then the Welterweight divisions, hoping to either outshine the Pacman or shame him into a third fight.

By Julie Wells: This is my first article and first of all I’d like to talk about next weekend’s heavyweight showdown between David Haye and 7ft 2in giant Nikolay Valuev. David Haye has done all the talking but now it’s time to do the work. First of all, Haye has a huge disadvantage in size [...]

He has a little more special effects than most European fighters.” I [...]

By Eric Thomas: Last night between bouts at the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Showtime announcer Jim Gray interviewed Mike Tyson and promoter Don King. Tyson, 43, and overweight, was asked by Gray if he would consider making a boxing comeback. Tyson had this to say: “If this guy (Don King) [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Last nights’ bout between International Boxing Federation bantamweight champion Joseph Agbeko (27-2, 22 KO’s) and undefeated challenger Yonnhy Perez (20-0, 14 KO’s) was one of the worst scored fights I’ve seen since the Carl Froch vs. Andre Dirrell bout on October 17th. Agbeko, the 29-year-old champion, was making his third defense of [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: Now has come the point where we have to put Vitali Klitschko up there with the remembered, great fighters. I recently wrote two ranking articles on the heavyweight division and placed Klitschko as the 16th greatest heavyweight of all time in front of Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney. I feel that to [...]

By Liam Santiago: After being knocked out in a matter of seconds against Breidis Prescott, I really thought that would do Khan a world of good and place his feet firmly back on the ground. But, no. He is still waffling on about achieving more than any other 22 year old, being a better champion [...]
