Canelo wants the fight, and Floyd has never turned down an opponent. Those are the words uttered by Richard Schaefer, as Golden Boy Promotions has begun working on trying to bring the most lucrative possible fight in the world of boxing at the moment, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Saul Canelo Alvarez into the ring by September.

It might be over for Manny Pacquiao and fights on American soil, but there’s plenty of money to be made elsewhere. For example, in Macau, well the Filipino legend will stage his next bout, hoping to end his two-fight losing streak, taking on the fast rising, also coming off a defeat, Brandon Rios. More
Like most Floyd Mayweather fights, this one was over before it began. Robert Guerrero talked well before the bout, but couldn’t even get close to the best boxer in the world, who won by a unanimous decision through all scorecards, retaining his WBC Welterweight belt, adding The Ring honor and most importantly, staying undefeated while keeping his place as the number one pound-4-pound fighter in the world.

But as we know championships don’t matter, only money and PPV numbers do, there’s a very good chance we won’t get to see who is the “real” champion of yet another title belt is. More
In a test of both his ability as a fighter and his growing status as a star in the boxing world, Saul Alvarez passed the test with flying colors, showing that despite his young age, he’s quite ready to continue and take on the biggest challenges left for him to conquer in the boxing world, beating Austin Trout by a unanimous decision, remaining undefeated and unifying the WBA, WBC & Ring Light Middleweight title belts.

Being a two time gold-medal winner in the Olympics isn’t enough to make you popular, and winning titles at Batmanweight won’t do the trick either if you’re not a boxer people like to watch. Guillermo Rigondeaux pulled off a huge win over one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Nonito Donaire, but isn’t going to help him or the world of boxing in any kind of way. More
There isn’t such a thing for too old to still be dominant in boxing, or win a title belt. Not for Bernanrd Hopkins, as B-Hop became the IBF Light Heavyweight champion, thus breaking his own record for oldest champion in the history of boxing after beating Tavoris Cloud by a unanimous decision. More
