FLOYD WOULD RATHER FIGHT PACQUIAO THAN KHAN By Don Donatello Please, Floyd fighting against Khan? That's a fight that I swear my life on that will never happen. It will never happen because Khan would lay waste Floyd Mayweather. Floyd would rather fight Manny Pacquiao than to fight Amir Khan. It's not because Khan is better than Pacquiao, it because Khan has the style, … [Read more...] about AMIR KHAN WOULD DOMINATE FLOYD MAYWEATHER

By Robert Elmore Commentator: Ricardson connects with a right hand and Jackson is hurt. He leans on the ropes while Richardson pounds away. The referee is checking; Jackson is throwing punches and as long as he's throwing punches, I don't think the referee will stop it. Ohh my goodness there an upper cut, another right, a left hand and another right hand and down goes … [Read more...] about Putting Expectations on fighters we won’t put on ourselves

Amir Khan Beats A Game Maidana By Don Donatello There is too much being made about Amir Khan’s suspect chin. I believe Khan when he said that his KO loss was due to his struggle with cutting and making weight. He regularly spars with Manny Pacquiao and holds his own. Pacquiao is bigger than Khan and campaigned at Junior Middle against Antonio Margarito and won. Khan … [Read more...] about AMIR KHAN VERSUS MARCOS MAIDANA PREDICTION

By Lester Salvador Freddie Roach is at it again, calling out bigger fighters, but only at a catchweight. Freddie is just bluffing everyone. This is the same man who said Shane Mosley was too good for Manny Pacquiao even when Mosley was willing to come down to 144 pounds to fight him. … [Read more...] about Keep Dreaming Roach, Sergio Martinez Won’t Fight Pacquiao At Catchweight

By Freddy Fresco Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. was never going to fight Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. He was just using the Pacman's name to make money. Floyd was giving the public the false impression and hope that he would actually come out of retirement to face the phenomenal Filipino from Gen San. … [Read more...] about Floyd Mayweather was just using Manny Pacquiao’s name to make money

By Ingming Aberia Inside the ring, Juan Manuel Marquez makes many believe he is better than Manny Pacquiao. Outside of it, the pound-for-pound king just keeps knocking him out. The two ring gladiators have dueled inside the ring twice, once in 2004 and the other in 2008. Boxing fans, judging from forum threads and blog comments, not to mention what some boxing writers are … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao Will KO Marquez’ Dreams

By Bert Perez Catchweights shouldn't diminish Manny Pacquiao's greatness. Only the haters will spew this garbage about him. Many boxers through history have done catchweight fights. If he were to fight someone and do a higher limit fight they will still discredit him. If a boxer is great he will fight the best and if  he is much smaller they come to a agreed upon … [Read more...] about Why is Manny Pacquiao the Catchweight King?

By Mark F. Villanueva At thirty nine years of age there seems to be no indication yet that “Sugar” Shane Mosley plans to take it slow in terms of pursuing his boxing career and fighting the big fights. With an amassed record total of 54 professional bouts since 1993 it is amazing how Mosley, who used to be an undefeated lightweight champion of the world, is able to maintain … [Read more...] about Evaluating “Sugar” Shane Mosley

By Steve Lewis You know you must be damn good if the other candidate for best pound-for-pound fighter is demanding that you take Olympic-style drug testing when previously, no one else has ever had to take one…ever. (Remember, all this happened even before Shane Mosley agreed to bow to Floyd Mayweather’s demands.) … [Read more...] about Pacquiao Retrospective: You Know You Must Be Damn Good If…

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!

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. Others said that it was a case of “sour graping” on the part of the Mexican … [Read more...] about PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ III: Should Pacquiao Agree?

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. To live, one needed to kill the other. How the combatants tried to cling to life was what thrilled the Coliseum crowd. … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao Redefines Boxing

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

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
