    Floyd Mayweahter – Split Paving the Road to Manny Pacquiao

    No one actually believes that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will ever get in the ring together. However, maybe a major stumbling block to make that fight happen has been removed, as Mayweather parted ways with Golden Boy Promotions, which means that the Top Rank vs Golden Boy rivalry is no longer a reason to deny fans from getting a fight they’ve grown tired of waiting for.

  • Canelo vs Austin Trout – The Fight We Need to Happen

    Canelo vs Austin Trout – The Fight We Need to Happen

    Fights that should happen, that sound like the logical next step, often stay on the shelves with other unfulfilled plans. Austin Trout, the current WBA (Regular) light middleweight champion, deserves a shot at Saul Alvarez, but the people running the career path of Canelo don’t really want a piece of that action.

  • Mayweather Just Two Fights Away For Amir Khan?

    Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao won’t be around forever. I don’t see these two hanging around deep into their 40’s, trying to cling on to their glory days.

There’s no ambition in his future fight with Saul Alvarez but greed and the desire to make a few extra bucks on his name, that still means something to some boxing fans.

  • Amir Khan – From Mystery Man to Peterson Rematch

    Amir Khan will get a rematch against Lamont Peterson for the Light Welterweight title, according to the WBA. The IBF will also look into what happened during the fight, from the referee decisions to the Mystery man that shouldn’t have been there and will probably do the same as the WBA.

  • Mayweather vs Pacquiao – Won’t Happen in 2012

    If Mayweather goes to jail in June, coming out around August-September, there will be no fight against Pacquiao in 2012. Manny will probably fight in June and make a usual November-December bout to cap off the year. The boxing world will have to wait again for the biggest fight to happen, as these two grow older by another 12 months.

  • Floyd Mayweather Jr. Biggest Draw in Boxing
