Which nationality breeds the best boxers?

by

By Marquise Bullock: For over one hundred years there have been fighters in every continent, country, city, town, island, trying to prove themselves to the world. But from every country, every background, all fighters are bred and trained sometimes depending on their environments, and resources they have too box. The Mexicans are known for their do or die toughness in the ring, just how the Puerto Ricans are know for their tough pressure style and willingness to never quit.

Pacquiao might try and stop Margarito in first two rounds

by

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao may try and bum rush Antonio Margarito early in their fight next month and produce another Ricky Hatton-esque type knockout win. Pacquiao told the Philstar.com “(We might move in) first and second (round), but it depends.” Pacquiao isn’t saying anything earth shattering. Of course, he’s going to try and knock Margarito out early.

Who will be the next boxing super star?

by

By Daniel Tagg: After Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. retire, who will be the next superstar to dominate boxing and become a legend? Some people think WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan is a candidate. I really don’t think he has a good chance. Nor do I see much in James DeGale. What makes a champion of world class and legendary status? What does that man needs to succeed?

What if boxers did not have a nationality?

by

By Gerardo Granados: Many times I´ve read in different forums or blogs people bragging about certain boxer because he is a natural born from the same country; I could give you numerous examples but I think you have an idea of what I mean. First they exalt the qualities and virtues of the “X” boxer, later on they argue he is the best, in respond someone argues that his fellow country man (“Y” boxer) is much better than the first one, and in most cases start insulting the “X” boxer or the other person. At the end both make comments minimizing or insulting the other citizens, making ignorant racial tainted arguments.

Will Haye still fight Chisora even if Wladimir destroys him?

by

By William Mackay: One of the reasons that IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) decided to fight the green Derek Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) is to remove one more potential opponent that WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) could look to fight after he gets past Britain’s Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) next month in their fight on November 13th. By fighting Chisora, Wladimir would make Haye look silly if he decides to get sloppy seconds and fight someone that Wladimir destroyed. I can see how it would possibly take Chisora out of circulation for Haye. However, I don’t think it will work. Haye is already fighting Harrison, who has been exposed by a number of 2nd tier heavyweights. Harrison has been beaten by B level heavyweights during his career, yet Haye is still fighting him.

by

Khan had been talking about how much he was looking forward to sparring with Pacquiao, and wanted to gauge whether he’s improved since the last time he sparred Pacquiao two years ago shortly after Khan was knocked out viciously in the 1st round by Breidis Prescott in 2008.

Remembering the one legged title challenger: Craig Bodzianowski

by

By Paul McCreath: When one looks at some of the fighters who have challenged for various world title belts over recent years you have to wonder how they were considered qualified. Many clearly did not belong in the same ring as the champion but can you believe that about 20 years ago there was a fighter who fought for a world title belt in spite of the fact that he had only one leg? This is the story of that fighter-Craig Bodzianowski.
