By The Commissioner: There’s a myth that promulgates amongst boxing fans that’s almost as old as prize fighting itself. This myth has gone unchallenged and unsubstantiated over and over again every time it’s spoken. In the boxing gyms, bars, workplaces and fight venues worldwide it is accepted as truth and it’s theory validated by its re-use by those who put forth their argument against a fighter who they believe to have weaknesses waiting to be exposed.
The myth? That a boxers talent is intrinsically linked to the quality of their previous opposition.
By Smith-Dan: On the face of it, it seems like a ridiculous question. How could the biggest promoter [Eddie Hearn] in the UK right now possibly be holding back boxing? How could a man who has a stable containing more than 6 current World champions, such as Kell Brook and Anthony Crolla, be having a detrimental effect on the sport? 
By Smith Dan: As a relatively avid boxing fan from Britain, there is very little I enjoy more than seeing a fellow Brit in possession of a World title. My first real boxing hero was Joe Calzaghe, a blisteringly quick, charismatic character with an exciting style that always brought me to the edge of my seat. Watching Joe deliver flurry upon flurry of punches (I disagree with the criticism that they were ‘slaps’, but you’re entitled to your opinion) was exhilarating, and served as the proverbial fishing rod that hooked me in.
By Michael Byrne: Carl Froch’s legacy is in tatters. It’s not even George Groves’s fault: it’s his own. He displayed arrogance in trying to undermine Groves. He displayed delusion in insisting that the referee made the right call, even when the entire stadium was booing him in the post-fight interview.
