By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated super middleweight contender George Groves (18-0, 14 KO’s) is hoping that a win over fringe contender Noe Gonzalez Alcoba (30-2, 22 KO’s) on May 25th will lead to him either getting a fight against the winner of the Carl Froch vs. Mikkel Kessler fight or a shot at one of the other super middleweight champions in the near future.
Alcoba and Groves are the co-feature on the Froch-Kessler II fight card at the O2 Arena in London, UK on May 25th, although it’s difficult to understand how on earth this fight was placed at the co-feature when the 34-year-old Alcoba has fought only two good opponents in his 9-year pro career and he was beaten by both of them.

The matchup is so awful that when it was first proposed ShowTime or HBO refused to televise it. Sugar Shane Mosley, although a legend, is beyond shot. In all his fights lately he tenses up and barley throws punches. Even Paulie Malignaggi, who himself is past his prime and a B level fighter, would not stoop as low to fight Sugar Shane.

Are we now staring at potential super fights, that will be talked about in years to come in the same breath as the Four Kings. Maybe not. But what some boxing enthusiasts and those who claim boxing is dead more times than Archie Moore had fights, are ignoring is that between the Light Welterweight division and the Light Middleweight division, there is a heap of potential fights that will only do boxing’s image good.

By Dan Ambrose: Dan Rafael reports that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer that he’s making good progress on a fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, and that the talk of the fight taking place at 147 or a catchweight is totally incorrect. 
By Paul Ward: It is tough to comprehend how someone as accomplished as Floyd Mayweather Jr. is continually bashed by boxing fans and some critics. Mayweather is not only boxing’s highest paid athlete but he is the highest paid athlete period. A person does not just wake up one day and get offered $250 million dollars for 30 months of work for no good reason.

By Scott Gilfoid: Just when you thought IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch had finally come to terms with his 12 round unanimous decision loss to Mikkel Kessler from three years ago in 2010 in Herning, Denmark, Froch had to start up with the excuses once again in blaming his loss on an ash cloud that delayed his travel to Denmark at the time.
