By “The Inevitable” D. Berry: I’ve watched and studied all 40 of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. fights and I have realized something; Floyd Mayweather Jr. can’t win. I know some of you are thinking,” he’s so right! Mayweather can’t beat World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao!”. The problem with that thought: I wasn’t talking [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: After watching Juan Diaz (35-3, 17 KO’s) get schooled by former International Boxing Federation light welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi on December 12th, I think it might not be a bad idea if the 26-year-old former lightweight champion Diaz to skip the lightweight division altogether when he moves back down in weight. Diaz [...]

By Liam Brindle: How Impressive was Kevin Mitchell’s win against the lightweight contender and knockout artist Breidis Prescott on the 5th December in Newcastle?

By D. Berry: I’ve been reading Pacquiao/Mayweather Jr articles on this site for a few months now and there is one thing I have noticed; people watch boxing but don’t understand it.

By By Brinsley Bailey: To say my generation has been blessed with British boxing talent may be an understatement as I have seen the likes of Calzaghe, Haye, Hatton, Khan and Froch all become highly successful fighters.

By Peter Wells: This weekend the main fight is a pointless PPV fight between WBC and WBO Middleweight champion and unknown contender Miguel Espino 20-2-1.
