The Five Hardest Punchers That I Have Ever Witnessed!

By

I am only listing five, from lightweight to heavyweight, based on boxing’s original eight weight classes. And I am only mentioning fighters that I have witnessed on live television or in-person, to avoid the inevitable hate mail and comments that readers are bound to send in response to my totally subjective list.   My criteria […]

Who Is The Best Boxer Ever?

By

When I asked "who the best boxer of my generation is," you responded well. As a result, I am asking the follow-up question: who is the best boxer of all-time? Some of of you will like my list and agree with its entrants. Some of you may ask yourself, "what on God’s green earth is […]

The Five Worst Boxing Decisions That I Have Ever Witnessed

By

After watching Paul Williams (now an undeserving 40-2, 28 KO’s) get befuddled and bloodied over 12 grueling rounds against Cuban upstart Erislandy Lara (unjustly, no longer undefeated at 15-1), yet garner a gift decision, I couldn’t help but recall awful decisions that I had witnessed. And without further adieu, they are: the five worst boxing […]

Amir Khan Vs. Zab Judah Prediction

By

When Amir "King" Khan (25-1-1, 17 KO’s) faces Zab "Super" Judah (41-6, 28 KO’s) in three weeks, he just may be facing the stiffest test of his career. One could make a very strong argument that his fight against Marcos Maidana last year was just that. And I won’t even argue that fact. But if […]

Does Ortiz Have A Shot To Knock The Smile Off Mayweather’s Face?

By

Does "Vicious" Victor Ortiz (29-2-1, 22 KO’s) have a realistic chance to defeat Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr. (41-0, 25 KO’s) in a few months? And no, his chance does not lie in Hades. We all know that styles make fights, and that popular cliche definitely applies here. Specifically, Ortiz has the style (southpaw) to give […]

Wladimir Klitschko Will Be Too Big And Too Strong For David Haye

By

Wladimir "Dr. Steelhammer" Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) is too big, too strong but (not) too fast for David "the Hayemaker" Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s). Two out of three key factors ain’t too bad though! Klitschko’s sizable (pun intended) advantages will overshadow whatever "the Hayemaker" brings to the ring on July 2. Take a gander below […]

Who Is The Best Boxer Of My Generation?

By

I performed a Google search of the term generation. Among the definitions, one stated that the period of time for a generation spans about 30 years. Another defines it as all of the people born and living at the same time. For purposes here, I’ll use a 30-year range to rank the five best fighters from […]

War!! Froch Vs. Johnson

By

Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KOs) vs Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KOs) is the proverbial "toss up" fight. You have fight of the year candidates in name like Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley, and then you have this fight.  Froch-Johnson is a throwback to the glory days of the ’70s and ’80s when the baddest, toughest […]

Bernard Hopkins Vs. Jean Pascal II Will Mirror Its Original

By

Bernard "the Executioner" Hopkins (51-5-2, 32 KO’s) and Jean Pascal (26-1-1, 16 KO’s) will fight for the second time this Saturday. We all know what happened the first time. Hopkins "won" even though he nabbed a draw on the scorecards. It was not a highway robbery necessarily, but I think it’s fair to say that Pascal benefited […]

Ward Battles Abraham In Super Middleweight Showdown

By

Personally, I believe that Lucian Bute (28-0, 23 KO’s) is the best super middleweight in the world. But I don’t think he is the best by much. If and when he meets Andre Ward (23-0, 13 KO’s), I feel that this debate will be resolved. Standing in the way of this potential showdown is "King" […]
