By Steven Wain: It’s good to be back after so many weeks due to immense amounts of homework and family problems.

By Shaun Mcnally: Tuesday night reports emerged from Britain that arguably one of the most popular boxers of this generation, Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton will make a sensational return to the boxing ring sometime in 2010. It was also revealed that he is in deep talks with Juan Manuel Marquez. The fight looks set to [...]

By Saad Farooqi: When Roberto Duran infamously exclaimed “no mas” in his second bout with Leonard, all the courage and pride the young street fighter from Panama embodied shattered. A fighter who once returned to his home country in a national parade and a chance to stay at the presidential house returned to jeers. In [...]

By Eric Thomas: Trainer Freddie Roach thinks that making a deal for a fight with unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. won’t be an easy task for his fighter World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Roach had this to say to Philstar:

By Mark Fletcher: I have always had respect for any boxer, what with the training and dedication that he or she put into the sport but the ones stand out for me are those who when not in the gym hitting the bag are grafting either outdoors or in a factory to help make ends [...]

By Eughine Dunnion: With the manner in which Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KO’s) went about the job of beating tough as teak Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO) in a 12th round TKO last Saturday night, maybe now, at long last Pacman will get the credit he deserves. As a boxing fan of 22 [...]

By Jorge Lugo: Okay, I am going to clear this up once and for all! I stand by the following statement with anyone. “Floyd Mayweather Jr. is overrated, period!” He has never fought any real fighter with a challenge and was NEVER that good. Here’s why:

By William Mackay: World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (21-1, 15 KO’s) is eagerly looking forward to his December 5th bout against number #1 challenger Dmitriy Salita (30-0-1, 16 KO’s) at the Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear. Khan, 22, is reportedly motivated after watching stalemate Manny Pacquiao take WBO welterweight champion [...]

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 – By Zachary M. Johnson: Even if you are a passionate boxing fan, you are lucky if, once in your life, you see a fight that makes you fall in love with boxing all over again. Three days removed from a record-setting welterweight match-up, my feeling is still the same—we all [...]

By Dave Lahr: Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. has made it known that he’s interested in facing newly crowned World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao next. However, the big question is does Pacquiao want to fight Mayweather.

By Adam Fillingham: Ryan Rhodes the newly crowned European Boxing Union light middleweight champion is the newest addition to the list of British fringe world title contenders. This comes after his 7th round knock out of former champion and fellow Brit Jamie Moore in one of the fights of the year. This is a great [...]

Yesterday, they participated in a public workout [...]

By Paolo Angelo Natanawan: After the stunning victory against Miguel Angel Cotto, a lot of questions are again starting to pile up but there is only one worth answering. Who’s next for Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (50-3-2), 38 KO’s) Freddie Roach wants what most of the fans, boxing analyst/experts and ordinary people around the world also [...]

By Al Francis: In my second article for this site, published about two months ago, I predicted Miguel Cotto to knock out Filipino star Manny Pacquiao. I felt that despite Pacquiao’s great talent and ferocity, the bigger and stronger Cotto would prove to be a step too far, however I severely miscalculated! Some writer’s like [...]

by Stephen McGrath: Manny Pacquiao started his career at 106lbs. For his latest bout against Miguel Cotto he weighed 144lbs, which is an incredible 38lb increase over his eventful fourteen year professional career. Pacquiao is the first boxer to win seven world titles in seven different weight classes. The much anticipated fight with Miguel Cotto [...]

By Eric Thomas: Former World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KO’s) is going to be considering his options and sitting down to think about his future after sustaining a 12th round TKO loss to Manny Pacquiao last Saturday night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to news from the [...]

By Glen Anglin: I now think that in terms of career accomplishments, Pacquiao is the best fighter under welterweight in the last 50 years. Yes, that includes Duran. And Whitaker, Pryor, Arguello, Jones, Chavez, Sanchez, Lopez, Nelson, Gomez, or any other you can name; any small man since the 60’s. In terms of ring accomplishments, [...]

By Jorge Lugo: Freddy Roach has been saying along with many other people that he wants Floyd Mayweather Jr. next for Manny, and given his impressive stoppage of Cotto, it actually looks like this fight might take place. Unfortunately though, all this talk of a Manny Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Jr. fight needing to take place [...]

By Daniel Cross: For the past year or so, the question of who would be the victor in a battle between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao has been gaining pace among boxing fans and now suddenly for the first time the answer is realistically on the horizon. In 2010 we will no doubt see [...]

By Peter Wells: We already know everyone wants this fight, but it’s up to Pacquiao and Mayweather to sort out the money problem. That is the only thing that can stop this fight from happening, and if Manny decides to retire. I know for sure Mayweather won’t pull out of this fight, he’s already started [...]

By Peter Wells: It’s horrible to think that the two biggest fights in former World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto’s career were both defeats. Firstly it was the biggest fight of his career against the welterweight hard man Antonio Margarito, where he was took apart in the second half of the fight with super [...]

By Trevor Weis: During the undercards on Saturday night, Miguel Cotto sat ringside with his family, preparing for the inevitable battle that awaited. Hardening himself, the World Boxing Organization welterweight champion probably didn’t anticipate confessing to the world, “Manny is one of the best fighters of all time.”

By Jim Dower: Unbeaten light middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) continued his unbeaten streak with a lopsided 10-round unanimous decision over Troy Rowland (25-3, 7 KO’s) on the undercard of the World Boxing Organization welterweight title match between champion Miguel Cotto and challenger Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night at the MGM [...]

by Paoee Natanawan: Saturday November 14, 2009 marked an event in history where Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao solidified his claim as the number one pound-for-pound fighter in world and the first boxer ever to win seven titles in seven different weight divisions.

Picture credit: Team Sauerland – By Scott Gilfoid: There is now only six more days before the Super Six tournament clash between World Boxing Association super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler and challenger Andre Ward, and as the days draw nearer it feels like the end of a era is coming closer for the Danish Kessler. [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis thinks that World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko would be problems for WBA heavyweight champion David Haye, according to the BBC.

By Jorge Lugo: Last night I had the privilege of watching Miguel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao. In what I knew was going to be a classic, I simply found myself going crazy with the anticipation simply because I honestly could not tell who would win. The three boxing fights before the main fight wouldn’t help [...]

By Ibrar Arshaid: Now I’m not going to over the fight and write about the events that took place because I am sure that you all witnessed the outcome as almost every true boxing fan watched the great fight. So what we have learnt is that Manny is unbelievably good and more evident he has [...]
