It's been a banner year for boxing at least on the blockbuster fight/pay-per-view front. HBO PPV chief Mark Taffet predicted just before the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto fight that 2009 would be the first year where two fight cards would exceed the 1 million buy threshhold. He was right. ...

Those of us who enjoyed Manny Pacquiao's victory on Saturday night over Miguel Cotto have no idea of the impact the Filipino has back home as he continues to climb the ladder of boxing history. Pacquiao's win was also a nice pick up after horrible months of typhoons that killed 1,128: ...

He's not too small. He can take a welterweight punch. And yes, Manny Pacquiao may be the fastest fighter in the world. Miguel Cotto, a very good welterweight, was taken apart for 12 rounds. By the end of the fight, Cotto had blood leaking from above his left eye, below his right eye, from nose ...

He's a rabbi in training, so Yuri Foreman made for a nice storyline coming into his junior middleweight title shot against Daniel Santos. Most critics concentrated on the fact that Foreman, 29, only had eight knockouts in 27 fights. No punching power meant no real threat to the ...

Alfonso Gomez of "Contender" fame stayed on the winning track but it wasn't the prettiest result. Gomez and Jesus Soto-Karass got a little nasty at times. An accidental clash of heads with 19 seconds left in the sixth wound up ending the fight. Gomez could not ...

Yuri Foreman takes a big leap of faith when he enters the ring on Saturday night against junior middleweight champ Daniel Santos. But the 29-year-old Belarussian will go into the squared circle with peace of mind because this isn't a make or break situation. If the boxing thing doesn't produce ...

(BHop and Calzaghe finally agree on something) You know you have a great fight on the way when guys who have stepped in between the ropes have varying opinion on who will pull out a mega-fight. The fellas who have laced them usually give the fans and media a dose of reality. In the case of ...

If Manny Pacquiao suffers a vicious cut in this weekend's fight he may look longingly towards the Miguel Cotto corner. No Pacman won't be begging for mercy but he may wish that trainer Freddie Roach kept his old buddy Joe Chavez around. It's not quite Floyd Mayweather Jr. switching camps but ...

Miguel Cotto took a vicious beating at the hands of Antonio Margarito back in July of 2008. It was shocking to see a guy who raced out to a good lead through seven rounds fall apart before getting stopped by Margarito in the tenth. The effect of the loss has been lessened now that Margarito has ...
