By William Mackay: No matter how I look at the December 11th fight between WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s) and challenger Marcos Maidana (29-1, 27 KO’s), I can’t see Khan staying on his feet for long and not getting knocked out.

By Dan Ambrose: WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez wants a third fight with Manny Pacquiao in the worst way. Marquez has twice battled Pacquiao in the past, fighting to a draw in the first bout and losing a controversial 12 round split decision in the 2nd bout in 2008.

Although there is the IBO and WBF who also have world titles for various weight classes, it seems the most recognized are the WBA, WBC, WBO and the IBF.

By Peter Wells: As the old saying goes; “Good things come to those who wait”. For Paul Williams it hasn’t worked out that way yet. Now at 29 he’s moved from Welterweight to Middleweight in search of that career defining fight, how long can a man wait for his destiny. Maybe he just hasn’t waited [...]

By Scott Gilfoid: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) has said in the past that he didn’t care which of the Klitschko brothers he fights, just as long as it’s one of the Klitschkos. Haye had his chance to fight both of them at time or another, and Haye backed out with either [...]

By Chris Williams: Recently, Bob Arum said that he’s considering matching Manny Pacquiao up with possibly Shane Mosley or Juan Manuel Marquez. I don’t know if Arum is aware of this but Floyd Mayweather Jr. just got finished dominating both of these fighters in one-sided 12 round unanimous decision back to back victories.

By Scott Brown: With the recent quotes from Bernard Hopkins, the racial undertones that have propelled boxing begin to surface once again. Hopkins acting in the spirit of good will presents the African-American opinion that is “talked about in black people’s homes.” Sorry, Joshua Clottey.

Las Vegas, NV – It looked for a while that the 2010 campaign of undefeated junior lightweight Mickey Bey Jr. was all for not.

By Jason Kim: While it still unclear who Manny Pacquiao will be fighting next one can get a pretty good idea of who he’ll be facing in the future by looking at who his promoter Bob Arum is interested in. Right now, Arum sees welterweight Shane Mosley as great fight for Pacquiao next rather than [...]

By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach appears to be experiencing a state of delusions of grandeur after Manny Pacquiao’s recent win over Antonio Margarito last Saturday night at the Cowboy Boy Stadium. Instead of putting the win in perspective and realizing that Pacquiao beat a painfully slow, pumped up welterweight for the WBC junior middleweight [...]

By William Mackay: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye 25-1, 23 KO’s) desires a fight with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s), and sees himself a being too fast for the 6’6″ 245 pound Wladimir to handle. Haye doesn’t feel that Wladimir would even be a difficult fight, saying in an article at the [...]

By Samuel K Chatwin: I for one thoroughly enjoyed the first fight between Paul Williams (39-1, 27 KO’s) and World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (45-2-2, 24 KO’s). One of the rare fights I had actually scored a draw. If it was not for one of the most disgraceful pieces of judging I [...]

Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum likes the idea of Pacquiao facing 39-year-old Shane Mosley next. Pacquiao’s close adviser Mike Koncz also likes Mosley as Pacquiao’s next opponent. However, Alex Ariza, Pacquiao’s strength and conditioning coach, trainer [...]

By Mark Hepplestall: Firstly I would like to start this article by stating that I condemn some of these so called writers that are building up the Wladimir Klitschko Vs Derek Chisora fight. These so called writers are building up the fight by talking up Derek’s chances and dramatically reducing Wladimir’s chances, when hopefully the [...]
