By Timothy Medina: For a few years many people have been saying boxing is not exciting like it used to be in the early 2000s. Many people have even considered boxing as a dying sport. As a boxing fan, last year I even agreed that the sport was not exciting as it was in the previous decade. The one thing I could not agree with was that boxing is dying. This sport is what I love dearly and so many fans of it can say the same thing. It is impossible to lose hope for boxing or any sport when you have so much passion towards it.
In 2013, boxing made its way back to the top as the elite combat sport, Boxing was back in the spotlight that UFC had been in for years. 2013 has been the most exciting year for boxing in recent years. It is difficult to say who was boxing’s fighter of 2013 or what the fight of 2013 was because there are many strong candidates for both categories. So many great things happened in the sport in just one year and at the perfect time too.
By Dan Ambrose: To Gennady Golovkin a fight between Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26 KO’s) is a fight that will bring in good money through pay-per-view and ticket sales. Obviously Mayweather isn’t exactly sold on Khan as an opponent the way that Golovkin is because he would have signed the fight ages in order to start drumming up interest in the fight. If you look at Mayweather’s recent fight against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, he wasn’t hesitant about signing for the fight. 
By Allan Fox: WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (28-0, 25 KO’s) is getting ready to fight an opponent he has never seen fight before in 33-year-old fringe contender Osumanu Adama (22-3, 16 KO’s) on February 1st in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Golovkin says he’s never seen him fight on video, and it doesn’t look like he’s even interested in seeing any of Adama’s past fight. You can’t really blame Golovkin though, because Adama is a guy that his promoters at K2 has selected for him to keep busy in early 2014 while he waits for more interesting fights to possibly open up for him. 
By Scott Gilfoid: #1 WBA Martin Murray (26-1-1, 11 KO’s) no longer has to worry about needing to fight WBA 160 lb. champion Gennady Golovkin or any of the other good middleweight champions in order to try and win a world title. >
By Scott Gilfoid: #1 WBA Martin Murray (25-1-1, 11 KO’s) recently had the chance to fight WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin for his title, but instead Murray down the fight and went in a safer direction in facing journeyman Sergey Khomitsky (28-9-2, 11 KO’s) this Saturday night at the ExCel Arena, Dockland, London. But despite turning down the fight with Golovkin, Murray is saying he thinks he can beat him. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell (21-1, 14 KO’s) is ready to get back in the ring after dealing with some problems for the past 10 months, and he wants to fight both Gennady Golovkin and Carl Froch if can get them in the ring. Dirrell say Golovkin mentioned his name recently, and he badly wants to get the 5’10” in the ring to fight him. 
By Scott Gilfoid: IBF/W BA super middleweight champion Carl Froch’s promoter Eddie Hearn saying he had a conversation with HBO about potentially matching Froch against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Gennady Golovkin or Andre Ward in that order. Ward was the last name that Hearn mentioned, and that doesn’t surprise me at all because he beat Froch already in 2011.
By Jamie Eskdale: With it seemingly being easy to avoid threats in boxing I decided to have a look through the divisions and see who is being avoided. While looking 3 names quickly popped up. Sergey Kovalev seems to be avoided like the plague. It would seem no one in the light heavyweight division wants anything to do with the Russian. Kudos must go to Nathan Cleverly for making a voluntary WBO title defense against the heavy handed Kovalev though it turned out to be a mistake as Cleverly was decimated in a 4 round destruction. 
By Allan Fox: WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (28-0 25 KO’s) will be defending his title next on February 1st against #14 WBA Osumanu Adama (22-3, 16 KO’s) at the Salle des etoiles, in Monte Carlo, Monaco. For boxing fans hoping that Golovkin would fight a quality opponent, this fight is a really disappointing one.
