I have spoken to a few Brits about this and they regarded the WBO more highly than Americans did, in part because a number of their best guys held...
No problem. It happens. I suppose Munguia is "hot" in the sense that he's a good sell for a top level opponent in a division that's gone cold...
Yeah, as much as I've respected the Showtime crew over the years (minus Gray), the addition of Ranallo has been grating. He almost epitomizes our...
Dunphy and Clancy a class apart from these new-age commentators. I'm excluding someone like Bernstein, who comes from older stock. These new guys...
I'm more surprised when a guy is genuinely clean, so I'm far from shocked that Tete used.
It had the three-knockdown rule in effect, so there's not much the ref could do. It would have been interesting to see how it played out had the...
They want to cash him out against Golovkin, especially now. As old as GGG looked against Alvarez, he would still have a good shot at blasting...

Yeah, Kellerman calling him Pernell Whitaker with a punch is obscene hype. I noticed that a lot of New York-based commentators had a tendency to...
Povetkin is who I came to mention. He was ranked almost continuously from 2007 (victory over Byrd) to 2021 (loss to Whyte) and spent roughly a...
Yeah, Golovkin is on the way out, Munguia only makes 160 for so long, Charlo may move up, and Andrade is inactive and fickle. Of course any number...
I had heard of him before the Gallimore fight but never checked him out because there were so many Eastern Europeans at similar stages of...
Or 105. That class is utterly useless and there hasn't been a Lineal Champion since the late 90s. Middleweight isn't a bad class talentwise but...
Someone told me last night that he's had some drinking issues related to family deaths, though I don't know if that's true. Cash is an...
I noted this is an article I wrote about Golovkin years back and it remains relevant throughout the sport. "Weak" divisions are normal now because...
