Forget Mosley, Let Manny Pacquiao Fight Ricardo Mayorga!
By Elmer Wincott Shane Mosley is already claiming on his Twitter account that he is the next opponent for Manny Pacquiao on April of 2011 in Las Vegas, but I feel that Shane Mosley isn't worthy enough to fight Manny, he needs one more loss first to face the Filipino, he is only my second choice; I believe there is a more worthy opponent out there for Pacquiao and his name is … [Read more...] about Forget Mosley, Let Manny Pacquiao Fight Ricardo Mayorga!
PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ III: Should Pacquiao Agree?
By Dr. Massuline Antonio D. Ligaya Shortly after winning his bout against Michael Katsidis, Juan Manuel Marquez wore a shirt where the bold pronouncements “Marquez beat Pacquiao twice” were imprinted. Some opined that such arrogant display was meant to lure the People’s Champ into a third fight.

Manny Pacquiao Redefines Boxing
By Ingming Aberia There was a time in Rome when people found entertainment in death. The gladiators may have not liked the idea of killing each other; but death for one meant life for the other.

Why Pacman is an All-Time Great and a Once-in-a-Generation Phenomenon
By Bert Perez What’s wrong if Manny Pacquiao declined a THIRD fight with Juan Manuel Marquez? Even Julio Cesar Chavez declined a rematch with Pernell Whitaker, the same with Tito Trinidad to Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard "B-hop" Hopkins to Trinidad, Floyd Mayweather to Oscar, Sugar Ray Leonard to Marvin Hagler, Muhammad Ali to George Foreman, Joe Calzaghe to B-hop and so on… … [Read more...] about Why Pacman is an All-Time Great and a Once-in-a-Generation Phenomenon
Manny Pacquiao Cherry Picks His Opponents And Acts Like A King
By Heath Chavez It seems the consensus is that when it comes to the matchmaking process of who Manny Pacquiao fights it's ultimately Bob Arum and Freddie Roach's decision. This is one of the biggest lies in boxing. Top Rank promotions Bob Arum and boxing trainer Freddie Roach don't pick who they want Manny Pacquiao to fight next, it's Manny who has the final say and … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao Cherry Picks His Opponents And Acts Like A King
JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ AT WELTERWEIGHT IS A DISASTER
By Don Donatello Juan Manuel Marquez must prove himself that he can actually win a round fighting at welterweight.

Why is Manny Pacquiao Ducking Juan Manuel Marquez?
By Chuy Marco Manny Pacquiao said he has no interest in a third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez because the fight won't grab the public's interest and it wouldn't generate big pay-per-view numbers. Instead he is more interested in fighting Shane Mosley, a typical choice for Manny Pacquiao, an old, washed up, and past it fighter to make Manny look amazing. … [Read more...] about Why is Manny Pacquiao Ducking Juan Manuel Marquez?
Michael Katsidis: A True Warrior to A Fault
By Mark F. Villanueva When promising jockey Stathi Katsidis died last Oct. 19, 2010 of an undetermined cause many believed the upcoming fight between his younger brother, Michael Katsidis and Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez was going to be canceled, or at least most would have canceled it had they been in his shoes undergoing such a tragic loss within the family.

Will Juan Manuel Marquez Get Old Overnight?
By Don Donatello Are you kidding me? Juan Manuel Marquez is fighting some guy named Michael Katsidis? Isn't this the same guy who lost to Juan Diaz.

NEXT: PACQUIAO VS. KLITSCHKO
By Don Donatello From what I read, The Fighter of the Decade, Manny Pacquiao, is an average fighter who has been lucky, dodged all good opponents, perfectly marketed, and cheated in all his fights. It's nothing new, in fact it's should be expected. No one cares about Juan Pedro from Mexico, or Sugar "Hitman" Jacobson from the Bronx, because they are nobody. But there … [Read more...] about NEXT: PACQUIAO VS. KLITSCHKO
