By J Caldwell: The science of boxing never seems to amaze, showing fans just how unpredictable some mega-fights can be. Just when we think we’re finally going to get a war of attrition between two really big heavyweights, this same probable war slowly metastasized into a virtual chess match of sort. It became very apparent, (especially after watching the first two rounds of the boxing match, at least) what Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) came to do in the biggest night of his career with his win over IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs).
Using his reach, height and lateral movement to an advantage, the young Brit braggadocios’ game plan, (at least in the early rounds) appeared to be more along the lines of staying away from the aging Ukrainian’s rocket of a right hand—the rest of the fight would play out pretty much the same way, with an occasional flurry of punches thrown from Fury in the mid-rounds.

What you’d see on paper with a fight between these two combatants is this: 1) Both fighters would be coming-off their two most impressive victories to date; 1) Both fighters, presumably, would be at the peaks of their boxing careers (25 for Canelo, and a respective 34 for Golovkin); and last, but certainly not least 3) Both fighters would be highly ambitious enough to test-out their skills on to one another. “If you want me to fight him [Golovkin] now, I’ll put the gloves on and fight him now. He’s a great champion, but right now I’ll put the gloves on and fight him,” Canelo said last night following his rather impressive win over a game Cotto at the Mandalay Bay Casino, Las Vegas, NV.
By J Caldwell: The problem with elite boxers with an endless list of no name fighters to his or her credit is this: It generally tends to rub diehard boxing fans the wrong way. 
By J Caldwell: If boxing truly is a young man’s sport, then a probable match-up between Shawn “Showtime” Porter (26-1-1, 16 KO) and Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 22 KO) looks to be an exciting one. In complete deference to the older lions of the pride, including Timothy “The Desert Storm” Bradley, Amir “King” Kahn and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, a possible showdown between boxing’s newer crop of talent (i.e., Thurman, Porter, Kell Brooks, Adrien Broner, Danny Garcia and, of course, Errol Spence) could perhaps set the stage for a glimpse of what’s to come in the welterweight division, a division which for now as it stand appears stacked with all kinds of boxing talent.
By J Caldwell: Normally when two brothers battle on the streets (whether it’s vying for supremacy, or not) the end result is always the same—a kind of family feud of sort. Just so recently, the sport of boxing has had its own version of a family feud, causing some within the boxing world to think what could be brewing-up over at the TMT headquarters in Las Vegas. 
By J Caldwell: The last time there was talks of two top Latino fighters set to grace the same ring, the boxing world would be set afire. Dubbed as “The Fight of the Millennium,” you’d be hard press to not find at least one boxing analyst that didn’t think either Oscar “The Golden Boy” De La Hoya, or Felix “Tito” Trinidad wasn’t going home with some kind of brain damage. Nevertheless, what transpired would not only shake-up the boxing world, but would stun the sport’s world the world over. 
By J Caldwell: Is it just me, or does anyone else with half a boxing brain see a possible match-up between Gennady Golovkin (or, “GGG”), the current IBF, WBA and WBO middleweight titleholder and the now “somewhat” retired Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. (with too many accolades to name) as a complete waste of time? 
By J Caldwell: Whenever “elite” fighters take a beating the way Rios did last night in Las Vegas, the big “R-Word” starts to linger. I think it’s time to hang it up. I’m done,” Rios said following a long night of questioning from reporters. As a thoroughly beaten fighter, it’s only natural. Nevertheless, after watching the lackluster fight between Brandon Rios (33-3-1, 24 KOs) and Timothy Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) unfold, you get the general impression that there was something fishy going on. Brandon Rios, along with his trainer Robert Garcia, arguably one of the top conditioners in the business, came into the Thomas and Mack center on the night of November 7th with the smell of fish on their hands.
