By Erwin Lastimosa Juan Manuel Marquez is going around disrespecting Manny Pacquiao and his choice of opponents. This is the wrong tactic to use if you want to secure a fight with the pound-for-pound boxing star (I could be wrong because maybe Marquez beat Shane Mosley and Andre Berto for the Pacquiao sweepstakes). … [Read more...] about Hey Marquez! Why not fight Andre Berto instead of chasing Pacquiao

By Don Donatello What is Juan Manuel Marquez up to; lets first look at the obvious.  At age 33, Marquez was still fighting at 126 pounds, the Featherweight division.  His last fight at Featherweight was against Jimrex Jaca in 2006.  From 2007 to 2008, he fought three times at 130 pounds, the Super Featherweight division; in succession, he fought Marco Antonio Barrera, Rocky … [Read more...] about MARQUEZ SELLING HIS HEAD TO MANNY PACQUIAO

By Lester Salvador Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao just turned 32 years old, but is probably closer to 30 since he lied about his age so he could box professionally when he was a young teenager in the Philippines. Manny is meeting with promoter Bob Arum and his boxing trainer Freddie Roach with a list of three possible opponents for Manny. And of the three opponents that Bob Arum … [Read more...] about For Manny Pacquiao to prove his greatness he must fight Sergio Martinez

By Don Donatello Unless Bernard Hopkins suddenly shows his true age, Hit and Hold Hopkins, the sly old fox of boxing will outsmart the young and flawed Jean Pascal. Besides, HGH works wonders for old athletes. People are giving too much credit for Pascal's win over Chad Dawson. Chad's weakness is against speedy fighters, Pascal's win was mostly due to styles. Hopkins will … [Read more...] about CAGEY BERNARD HOPKINS WILL OUTSMART JEAN PASCAL

By Ingming Aberia Years ago, the Associated Press, ESPN, and The Ring Magazine, among many other media organizations, came up with their respective lists of who are the greatest boxers of all time. While they differed in their rankings from the second spot downwards, they had been unanimous in putting Sugar Ray Robinson at the top of those lists. One list picks Henry … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao: Greatest Boxer of All Time

By Ingming Aberia Boxing superstar and Philippine Congressman Manny Pacquiao will turn 32 on December 17 (Philippine time) and, by punching his way to success inside the ring, has created such a positive impact for his country in a manner few Filipinos have ever achieved at such a relatively young age. This is the same man who, as a youngster, often skipped meals not to beat … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao: What He Means To His Country

By Pierre Grimm Muslim-British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan retained his WBA light-welterweight title on December 11th beating heavy hitting Marcos Maidana by hard fought decision in front of a modest crowd at Mandalay Bay arena in Las Vegas. Amir Khan's best attributes are his hand speed and his heart. He doesn't have the kind of power that makes a guy respect you, although … [Read more...] about Amir Khan Shows Heart, But Is He On Pacquiao & Mayweather’s Level?

The win will lead to bigger and better fights for Amir Khan. … [Read more...] about If Amir Khan beats Maidana, he can beat Pacquiao and Mayweather

By Dar Mead I am a big fan of Manny Pacquiao, but if the BWAA gives him the "Fighter of the Year" award for 2010 over Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez, I would be disappointed. It would show that politics and name recognition would play into the selection. I am not upset at Pacquiao but as a fan of boxing, I feel this was Martinez's year. … [Read more...] about Sergio Martinez is 2010 “Fighter of the Year,” Not Manny Pacquiao

By Don Donatello It's has been a long tradition in boxing that fighters use to avoid fighting a certain individual. Plain and simple, it's called ducking. There are many ways to duck an opponent. But the slickest and most subversive way to duck an opponent is to first state that you want the fight to happen, then price yourself out of the fight by asking for an unreachable … [Read more...] about MARQUEZ IS DUCKING PACQUIAO
