By Scott Gilfoid: If you take a look at a typical boxing forum or comment section on the net you’ll often notice that WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) takes an abundant amount of criticism from boxing fans related to his win over former World Boxing Association super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler [...]

By William Mackay: It’s been well over two months now since World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) last fought and Haye still hasn’t selected how his next opponent will be. At this rate, it could be four or five months before Haye fights again. The last we heard from Haye [...]

By William Mackay: Former welterweight and junior middleweight champion Paul Williams is moving back down to the welterweight division to go after the bigger money fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Williams is back moving down to welterweight because he’s been unable to get the big money fights he had been hoping to [...]

By Chris Williams: With only five months away from the November fight month that Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has designed for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao mega fight, this would be the perfect time for the negotiations to wrap up so that they ‘re management teams can start to market the fight [...]

By William Mackay: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) has been dragging his heels for the past two months ever since he was beaten by Mikkel Kessler by a 12 round unanimous decision on April 24th in his stage 2 Super Six bout. Now, Froch is rejecting venues like their going [...]

By Jason Kim: According to ABS-CBNNews, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is ready to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., but if the fight can’t be put together, he is open to fighting rematches with Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto. Obviously, Pacquiao isn’t serious about wanting to fight Hatton again, because he seems to have been really [...]

By Jim Dower: Once beaten John Duddy (29-1, 18 KO’s) has a fighter ripe for the picking in unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s), who Duddy will be fighting on June 26th at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. Duddy, 30, does really well against slow plodders like Chavez Jr. that like to [...]

By Chris Williams: Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions opened his yap this weak about the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather contract being close to finalized. I don’t necessarily buy it. I think there’s tons of things that can still go wrong that will derail this fight from happening, one of them being [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: I can’t say I was very impressed with EBU light welterweight champion Paul McCloskey’s 11th round TKO against Italian Giuseppe Lauri on Friday night at the Kings Hall, in Belfast, Northern Ireland. McCloskey, 30, showed little hand speed, power or ring movement. He looked tired by the 8th round, and had nothing [...]

By Dave Lahr: Ricky Hatton chimed in with his thoughts on who will win the mega fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., saying in an article at the Manilatimes.net, “I think Floyd is too good defensively. He is so hard to hit, and I think he might ultimately just have a few too [...]

By Matt Stein: Former WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KO’s) may have lost his fight and his WBA title to Miguel Cotto on June 5th at the Yankee Stadium, but in this case both fighters came out a winner in this fight. And Foreman may be the bigger winner because it put [...]

By Jim Dower: World Boxing Organization (WBO) cruiserweight champion Marco Huck (29-1, 22 KO’s) will continue with his trend of making boring title defenses when he fights American Matt Godfrey (20-1, 10 KO’s) on August 21st, at the Massenhalle, Erfurt, Thuringen, Germany.

By William Mackay: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer believes that his fighter World Boxing Association junior welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) will be the “best and richest fighter” by the end of 2011, according to the Mirror.co.uk. This is a huge compliment that Schaefer is making towards Khan because Schaefer and Golden [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: Despite winning the WBA light welterweight title last year against Andriy Kotelnik, Amir Khan appears to be being brought along very slowly by Golden Boy Promotions, who matched him against the light hitting Paulie Malignaggi in his last voluntary title defense of his WBA title.

By Jason Kim: With only six weeks to train undefeated junior middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) before his June 26th fight against John Duddy (29-1, 18 KO’s) at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas, trainer Freddie Roach isn’t quite sure how much he can do for the 24-year-old Chavez in that [...]

By Sam Gregory: In the main event on the June 12th edition of Fox Sports Boxing from Madison Square Garden in New York City the undefeated undisputed junior flyweight champion of the world southpaw Ivan “Iron Boy” Calderon 34-0-1 with 6 KO’s defended his WBO and undisputed titles against Jesus Iribe 17-7-5 with 10 KO’s [...]

By William Mackay: Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) talks about having a secret weapon that he plans on using against WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) on June 19th in his first Super Six tournament bout at the Oracle Arena, in Oakland, California. Green, 30, has to come up with some way [...]

By Chris Williams: On paper, unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) would seem to be in for a vicious beating on June 26th in his 12 round bout against John Duddy (29-1, 18 KO’s) at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. Chavez, 24, has fought no one near as good as the 30-year-old [...]

By William Mackay: WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) still doesn’t have an opponent picked out for his next fight which should be taking place in November rather than on July 31st. Of the potential opponents mentioned, Michael Katsidis, Joel Casamayor and John Murray, all of them are lightweights rather than fighters [...]

By Dave Lahr: After watching Canadian middleweight prospect David Lemieux (23-0, 22 KO’s) dispatch 29-year-old Elvin Ayala (20-5-1, 9 KO’s) in the 1st round on Friday night, I’m still not buying into the Lemieux hype for one second. I know he’s pretty popular in Canada right now a lot of people are saying he’s a [...]
