By Dave Lahr: For what it’s worth, Ring Magazine has installed Manny Pacquiao as number #1 pound for pound fighter in the world. Incredibly, they have unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. as number #2 instead of the number #1 position. That seems kind of crazy since Mayweather is unbeaten and pretty much established himself as the [...]

By Chris Williams: For me, it’s not a question of whether or not WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) will beat Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s), it’s a question of how he’ll beat him when the two fighters mix it up in their Super Six tournament fight at the Oracle Arena, in [...]

By Dave Lahr: I really want to give Manny Pacquiao a chance against Floyd Mayweather Jr. but the more and more I look at Pacquiao, and notice how short he is, and how limited his reach and defensive skills are, I just can’t see him ever beating the likes of Mayweather.
