The upcoming rematch between Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins (50-5, 32 KOs) and Roy Jones, Jr. (54-6, 40 KOs) is being dubbed "The Rivals." Golden Boy Promotions and company have it all wrong. This is a rematch that no one really wanted to see when it was originally announced several months ago. And after Roy Jones took a […]
Wladimir Klitschko Meets The Latest Great American Hope
In the wake of Manny Pacquiao’s shut-out of Joshua Clottey, Wladimir "Dr. Steelhammer" Klitschko (53-3, 47 KOs) and "Fast" Eddie Chambers (35-1, 18 KOs) square off this Saturday. Unlike Pacquiao-Clottey, not many folks seem to care too much about this fight between the best heavyweight in the world (Klitschko) and his top ten-rated challenger (Chambers). Yes, the heavyweight division […]
My Official Manny Pacquiao Vs. Joshua Clottey Prediction
Last week, I stated the case for Joshua Clottey against Manny Pacquiao. This week, I’ll tell you why Clottey’s case will not be heard by any judge ringside in two weeks. Sure, Clottey can fight, but he ain’t never seen anything like the Pac Man. Locale. Even. Pacquiao will definitely have the huge Cowboys Stadium crowd behind […]
Manny Pacquiao Vs. Joshua Clottey: The Case For Clottey
You’re probably wondering how on earth can Joshua Clottey win this fight. He appears to have little chance when he faces off against Manny Pacquiao in three weeks. Not many people outside of his homeland of Ghana, West Africa think he can win. Here’s why. Clottey recently lost to Miguel Cotto. The same Miguel Cotto who got beat down […]
Is Andre Dirrell Fit To Wear King Arthur’s Crown?
"My mind’s telling me no, but my body, my body’s telling me yes!" Replace the word ‘body’ with ‘gut,’ and these almost fateful R-Kelly lyrics summarize my feelings about the upcoming super middleweight showdown between Arthur Abraham (31-0) and Andre Dirrell (18-1) on March 6. Logic would dictate that the battle-tested and undefeated Abraham would have […]
If Pacquiao-Mayweather Never Happens, I Have An Idea
When Floyd Mayweather put pen to paper to fight "Sugar" Shane Mosley late last month, boxing fans temporarily breathed a sigh of relief. The sigh was temporary, because we still yearn for a Mayweather-Pacquiao showdown. Prior to that, Pacquiao quickly signed to fight Joshua Clottey. But that’s the wrong opponent for the Pac Man if you ask me. As a matter […]
Like Old Man River, Glen Johnson Keeps On Rollin’
Ol’ man river, Dat ol’ man river He mus’know sumpin’ But don’t say nuthin’, He jes’keeps rollin’ He keeps on rollin’ along. — Lyrics from "Old Man River," performed by Paul Robeson The first verse of this classic African-American spiritual embodies the career of Glencoffe "The Road Warrior" Johnson (49-13-2, 33 KOs).

‘Juan Ma’ Lopez And Yuriorkis Gamboa Produce Exciting Fights And Chin Music
Juan Ma(nuel) Lopez (28-0, 25 KOs) and Yuriorkis Gamboa (17-0, 15 KOs) are not just interesting-sounding names. They are "big little men," skilled enough to invoke memories of the legendary trio of featherweights named Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, and of course, Manny Pacquiao. Look no further than their impressive wins this past weekend to understand […]
Sugar May Be The Perfect Ingredient For A Fight Turned Sour
Boxing is as unpredictable as the weather in this global warming era. One minute it rains down on you. The next minute the sun is lighting up your day. The prospect of Floyd "Money" Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) facing off against "Sugar" Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) could be one of those shining moments. That […]
Somebody Call The Police, Boxing Was Just Robbed Of A Superfight
I’ve been running my mouth on HBO’s Boxing Forum on this much-debated topic. To get the conversation started here, I’ll present the cases against each defendant in this crime on boxing and then let you be the judge of who deserves the most blame. The Accused Bob Arum. "Manny doesn’t like needles." Yet Pacquiao has enough […]
