By Manuel Perez: For a fighter that only fought two rounds and barely got punched a half dozen times, it seems odd that Manny Pacquiao has decided to sit out of boxing until October 17th. That’s five long months which is an extraordinary amount of time for a fighter that fought only two measly rounds.
Pacquiao vs. Mayweather
Freddie Roach on Possible Pacquiao-Mayweather Showdown
By Sam Gregory: Floyd Mayweather coming out of retirement is major boxing news even though Floyd himself has never made such a claim. The BBC managed to catch up with Mayweather at his pre-Super Bowl party in Ybor City, Fla. Saturday night before the big game. Despite bombarding Floyd with as many questions in as many ways as possibly to ask the same question, the answer remained the same; Floyd has no intention to step out of retirement now or anytime in the foreseeable future to fight Ricky Hatton or anyone for that matter.

Joe Calzaghe vs Chad Dawson
First of all, people who have read my article may know I am a British fan, yet I choose skill over nationality and try to be as unbiased in my articles as I can. I would prefer to stick to facts more than opinion, but as it’s an article, I like to get my point across. Now I would want this fight to happen purely because Dawson is up there in the light heavyweights who Calzaghe hasn’t beaten. Personally I think the division is one of the most boring and least competitive divisions, so I can’t blame Dawson for having very little on his record that we can shout about.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao – The Fight That Has To Happen
By Adam McGarry: Think about that for a second, really think about it. Sounds good , yeah? Current pound for pound Number one Manny Pacquiao against pound for pound king (Number 0?) Floyd Mayweather Jnr. The shouts of ‘That won’t happen’ can be heard already, but it’s not impossible. I believe, along with many, that Floyd Mayweather isn’t done with the sport, he’s just not interested in fighting anyone recently who he doesn’t see as any sort of threat to his throne.
