By Sean McDaniel: Former boxing great Barry McGuigan thinks that Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) has a puncher’s chance of beating World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) if they meet up next. McGuigan isn’t giving the 38-year-old Harrison a good chance mind you, but he thinks that he’s got the power [...]

By Jason Kim: Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) doesn’t have much of a margin for failure against WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) in their stage 2 Super Six fight on June 19th, in Oakland, California. Green, 30, is already entering the fight behind Ward with zero points because Green is replacing [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Dan Rafael is reporting that the pay-per-view buys for the comeback fight for Antonio Margarito (38-6, 27 KO’s) were less than spectacular, bringing in between 12,000 and 15,000 PPV buys for Margarito’s fight against Roberto Garcia on May 8th at the Plaza Monumental, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. These are pretty horrible numbers when [...]

by Chris Kelly: It is widely regarded common knowledge that a perfect boxing world would be restricted to one world champion per weight class. There can be no denial of the utter ridiculousness of the current state that boxing is in. With a vast and confusing barrage of boxers claiming to be the best in [...]

By Sean McDaniel: European Boxing Union (EBU) welterweight champion Matthew Hatton (39-4-2, 15 KO’s) is hoping to get a world title shot in the near future if he can get by his next opponent former WBA interim welterweight champion Yuriy Nuzhnenko (30-1-1, 14 KO’s) on July 16th at the Bolton Arena, Bolton, Lancashire. This will [...]

By Jim Dower: If Antonio Margarito (38-6, 27 KO’s) and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum want a rematch with World Boxing Association junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) to take place, it’s probably going to require that the 32-year-old Margarito get his boxing license back in California or least acquire a boxing license [...]

By Jason Kim: Former WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KO’s) had his right knee successfully operated on Friday to repair Foreman’s torn ACL and Meniscus and to remove torn cartilage around his knee joint. The injury partially occurred starting in the 7th round in his June 5th defeat against Miguel Cotto at [...]

by Sean McDaniel: Former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) says he doesn’t care about money. He wants to be able to beat his next Super Six tournament opponent Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) and doesn’t trust having the fight take place in Germany where Froch feels he has little chance of [...]

By William Mackay: Former WBA/WBC/WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe (46-0, 32 KO’s) has once again ended speculation about him making a comeback by saying he doesn’t plan on attempting to come out of his two-year retirement to fight Bernard Hopkins (51-5-1, 32 KO’s), who Calzaghe already outpointed by a 12 round split decision in [...]

By Sean McDaniel: WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KO’s) will be fighting a needless rematch against Juan Diaz (35-3, 17 KO’s) next month on July 31st, at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is a fight that’s kind of hard to understand why it’s being made other [...]

By Matt Stein: World Boxing Association super middleweight champion Andre Ward (21-0, 13 KO’s) expects a grueling fight from once beaten Allan Green (29-1, 20 KO’s) when they meet up in their stage 2 Super Six tourney bout at the Oracle Arena, in Oakland, California. Whereas Green has been predicting a knockout victory, Ward is [...]

By Jason Kim: WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (26-0, 20 KO’s) plans on staying at welterweight rather than moving down to the light welterweight division to pick off the young stars like Devon Alexander, Timothy Bradley, Marcos Maidana, Amir Khan and Victor Ortiz. Berto, 26, in an article by Dan Rafael of ESPN, said “Nah, [...]

By Jim Dower: Former WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman (28-1, 8 KO’s) wants a shot at a rematch against Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KO’s) after getting stopped in the 9th round by Cotto on June 5th at Yankee Stadium in New York. However, it’s not likely to happen, as Cotto says he wants to [...]

By William Mackay: Arthur Abraham (31-1, 25 KO’s) and former WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (26-1, 20 KO’s) still haven’t decided the venue for their next Super Six tournament fight. Froch and his promoter were under the mistaken impression that the fight was supposed to take place in Nottingham, England, and said there was [...]

By Sean McDaniel: Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) thinks he has a good chance of knocking out WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) if he gets selected as an opponent for Haye. Harrison, 38, is looking like he’s gong to be next up for the 29-year-old Haye rather than the Klitschko brothers.

By Eric Thomas: Dan Rafael is reporting that Kalle Sauerland, of Sauerland Events, is hoping to out together a cruiserweight tournament along the same lines as the Super Six tournament to get attention to their cruiserweights that they have in their stable. It’s obviously a good idea for Sauerland, because they have two of the [...]

By Jim Dower: I figure that middleweight contender John Duddy (29-1, 18 KO’s) will be far too experienced and talented for unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) when they do battle later on this month for the obscure vacant WBC Silver middleweight title on June 26th at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. [...]

By Johnny Barreto: Ask any true boxing fan and they will all tell you, boxing needs a revamp of all its rules. Most fans ask themselves, why do we have a WBC, WBA, WBC, IBF, IBO, and WBO? Why have 5 champions in the same weight division? Why have a boxing commission that seems powerless. [...]
