By B.G.B: 2015 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years for boxing since the turn of the millennium. Floyd Mayweather Jr. – Manny Pacquiao will steal all the headlines but do we really know what to expect? It may be an action packed slug fest that will live in the memory of fight fans for generations. It may be a game of chess where one wrong move ends it all. Or (let’s hope not!) it could be a 12 round snooze fest.
The simple answer is we don’t know but thankfully we will find out and we can’t wait. Danny Garcia – Lamont Peterson may not have been as spectacular as we’d hoped but it was still a fight the fans were hoping to see. Saul “Canelo” – James Kirkland is not Canelo vs. Miguel Cotto or Canelo vs. Gennady Golovkin, but it’s a fight that will likely be fan friendly.
By B.G.B: Kell Brook will be making a quick return to the ring to defend his IBF welterweight strap against the world famous Frankie Gavin. Not the announcement boxing purists were hoping for I’m sure. What makes this announcement so underwhelming is the heavy criticism rival Amir Khan has received after his own underwhelming announcement that he’ll be fighting Chris Algieri. 
By B.G.B: Boxing fans have just about finished rubbing their eyes after Amir Khan’s Thursday night announcement. Yes, it has been confirmed that Khan will face former light-welter weight world champion Chris Algieri on May 30th. Algieri was badly beaten by Manny Pacquiao in November. 
By B.G.B: The Welterweight division is without a doubt the most engaging division in all of boxing and has been since the glory days of the heavyweights diminished into the one man show it is today (alright, I admit it is growing but still). The Royal fight that will define this generation of boxing has finally been signed, sealed and delivered and fans can breathe an almighty sigh of relief. 
By B.G.B: We all love (or at the very least respect) Bernhard Hopkins. He’s gone beyond what any trainer, fighter, manager, promoter or fan could have ever imagined. At 50 years old he still remains at world level having lost his IBF and WBA light-heavy weight world titles just a few weeks ago to the best fighter in the division Sergey Kovalev. 
By B.G.B: With the super-mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao nearing closer and closer to confirmation and the news that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will face James Kirkland, it would seem that WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto has been handed the short stick. It would be a total failure for boxing if he was to face Mayweather on May 2nd to prevent the mega-fight from happening but the good news is that scenario now seems increasingly less likely. 
By B.G.B: Martin Murray is perhaps the most overlooked and underestimated contender in the middleweight division. He has an outstanding professional record of 29 wins, 1 draw and just 1 defeat. A hard fought battle against former IBF/WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm ended in a draw back in 2011. Murray proved that he was a worthy contender that night and may have been awarded a victory on points had the bout not taken place in Germany. 
By B.G.B: Manny Pacquiao – Like his rival, Pacquiao has won 10 world titles in an astonishing 8 weight division. He is the first and only boxer in history to have won world titles in 8 weight classes. He turned professional in 1995 when he was just 16 years old, 4ft 11 and weighed in at 98 pounds (light flyweight).
