By Yannis Mihanos: On April 12 2014, WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) will meet for the second time with one of boxing’s biggest stars and currently number 2 in the world best pound for pound Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) in a fight televised by HBO from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Since his election as a congressman in his native country, Pacquiao has become a busy man in and out of the ring. Some say that because he has become politically active he has somehow become passive in the ring, the ferocious Manny of the past has softened.
By Yannis Mihanos: Since stopping by a way of knockout Miguel Cotto in November of 2009, Manny Pacquiao hasn’t be able to win the same way again. A controversial defeat by Tim Bradley that only the judges saw, a close victory by points against Juan Manuel Marquez and a famous knockout defeat by the same opponent in December of 2012.
By Yannis Mihanos: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) is the gold machine,the cash cow, the money maker. Nobody can deny that. He is the most successful fighter in the money business of boxing .The numbers don’t lie. After signing with Showtime/CBS his popularity has continued going from strength to strength and his earnings too. Throughout his career has fought and beaten many title holders in various categories and his record remains spotless at 45-0.
By Yannis Mihanos: We are back in February 25th 2012, Marcos Maidana is on his first attempt in welterweight division facing Devon Alexander. As the action starts in round 1, Maidana obviously is experiencing problems: Alexander seems to be too fast to catch and get hit. On the other hand, Maidana seems awfully predictable and one dimensional. As the rounds go by nothing changes and Alexander gets a comfortable victory by a unanimous decision ( 100-90, 100-90, and 99-91 ). 
By Yannis Mihanos: Can WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (35-3, 31 KO’s) beat the best pound4pound fighter in the world by beating Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) on May 3rd? Is Maidana prepared enough? Is he skilled enough? Is he intelligent enough? Is he fast enough?Is he mentally and physically strong enough? Is he lucky enough? These are some of the questions that pop into my head about two months before the big fight.
By Yannis Mihanos: Since September the name of Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) has been playing along with the name of Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) for a potential match up for his next bout on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. In late February the beans were spilled and the name of WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (35-3, 31 KO’s) was officially revealed at the expense of Amir Khan. Actually it was not surprise at all. The highly entertaining victory over former WBA 147 lb champion Adrien Broner was the decisive factor.
