If you came out of last night ranking
Manny Pacquiao or anyone else as the best pound-for-pound
fighter in the world, you're nuts. And you're hopelessly wrong. Never has Mayweather lost. Never has he wilted under pressure, not when applied by Jose ...

of 20 became the youngest fighter to ever win
the lightweight championship, passed away at his home in San Pedro, California. He was 59. Ramos turned pro at age 17, having started fighting at the age of eight. It took him almost no time at all to become one of the most popular fighters in the region, main eventing quickly at the historic Olympic ...

With his win over Mikkel Kessler, Joe Calzaghe
has put himself into position to grab a fight
with one of several dangerous opponents. Knock Calzaghe all you want for fighting sometimes inferior opposition in the past (though at this point, again, I ...

The great boxing historian Hank Kaplan died today
at his home in Kendall, Florida. He was 88
years old. Kaplan was an immensely respected journalist in the boxing community, inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2006. I think we can all be glad that Mr. Kaplan lived such a great, colorful life, and that he stayed with us long enough to see himself enshrined at Canastota. His ...

Edwin Valero-headlined PPV from Cancun, as well as Ulises Solis' defense against Bert Batawang in Guadalajara. Edinburgh, Scotland: Hometown boy Alex Arthur "retained" the interim WBO super featherweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision against England's Stephen Foster, scores of ...

We're two fights into the PPV card from
Cancún. I'll do a live-blog of the main event.

They passed the tests, but in very different
ways. Super middleweight contenders Edison Miranda and Jean Pascal
won their fights tonight, and are now tentatively scheduled to meet up in June. But the fights told stories: Miranda is exactly what we knew, a power-punching dynamo, and Pascal's performance exposed weaknesses that someone like Miranda could exploit in short order. Miranda was ...

That's right. I'm saying it. Tito Trinidad will
knock out Roy Jones Jr. Let's start off with
the general notion that Jones and Trinidad are two shot fighters facing off for a dime. While it's true that they are both past their prime, if any one of these two fighters has look `shot' at any point, it's been Jones. Since his dramatic drop in weight after beating John Ruiz ...

In addition to post-fight wrap-ups, I've decided to
do a "10 Points of Interest" post-fight chatterbox sort
of a thing for the big cards. More to keep talking, because I rarely say everything I want to say in one shot. By the way, I have a feeling ...

fought. Both men bled. Both men put it all
on the line, and left every ounce of energy they had in the ring. One man won, and one man lost. Whether or not I agree that Manny Pacquiao beat ...

Are you kidding? Is Ricky Hatton serious? Do
we need to see that again? The sad part
of this is that after the fight, Hatton seemed quite accepting of his loss. Quite accepting of the fact that Mayweather cleaned his clock and did it without ...

WBC 140-pound titleholder Junior "The Hitter" Witter is
universally regarded as second-best. Second-best in his division, second-best
in his country in the division, second-best at pretty much everything. But some folks will tell you that Witter should be considered the best 140-pounder in the sport. With Ricky Hatton trying over the past couple of years to find a home at welterweight ...

Those are the current odds that sportsbooks are
putting on Gary Lockett upsetting Kelly Pavlik this Saturday.
10-to-1. That's nearly twice the odds that Carlos Quintana was given against Paul Williams in February. Kevin Iole did an article today on Lockett being essentially the same as Pavlik last year , which I think is rather dubious. In May 2007, Pavlik was set to fight the ...
