The status with what could be the most lucrative boxing match in history, tentatively slated for March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas between five-time champion, Floyd Mayweather, and seven-division king, Manny Pacquiao, still was unclear following Tuesday’s nearly nine-hour, mediation meeting between the fighters’ representatives …

There was a time when middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (35-1 31 KOs) was seen as potentially becoming the face of American boxing. With his exciting pressure style, staggeringly high knockout percentage, and relatable blue-collar persona, some people thought that Kelly could become a Ricky Hatton-like figure. Following an embarrassing loss to Bernard Hopkins, at the ill-advised catch weight of 170 pounds, rumors about his marriage and bouts with alcoholism, and a seemingly wasted year, many are beginning to wonder what kind of career Kelly has left.

There are two fights in his path, but if Edwin Valero defeats Hector Velazquez in Venezuela on Saturday, and then beats mandatory Antonio DeMarco on February 6 in Mexico - he thinks that he might land a spot on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao undercard on March 13.

In order to get on the Mayweather-Pacquiao card, Valero needs to solve his visa situation that blocks his entry into the United States. Even with these big plans on his mind, he won’t overlook a heavy underdog in Velazquez.

I can’t believe Freddy Roach is taking on another big name fighter - this time Felix Sturm. It boggles my mind how one man, especially one battling with a debilitating disease, can handle such a workload.
From his various interviews and 24/7s, he does seem like a total …

I still think Gerry Penalosa was robbed against Daniel Ponce-DeLeon (I had a eight rounds to four for the Filipino) but most of the ringside media thought DeLeon legitimately outworked (some even said “outboxed” — ha!) Penalosa.

“The only fight that I saw Floyd lose was in the Olympics in Atlanta, it was the last fight that he lost and it was a left handed guy. And the only way he beat Floyd is Floyd is a spot fighter, he fights in spots so what he did was he made Floyd fight more than Floyd wanted to fight. I think with Pacquiao, he’s going to put on a lot of pressure. If he puts a lot of pressure on Floyd, either Floyd is going to catch him or he’s going to be hitting Floyd. Floyd is a disciplined fighter he could care less if the fight is boring as long as he’s not getting hit. I’ve never seen anybody make Floyd go off [his game-plan] because nobody ever hits him. That’s how good he is, you don’t ever see anybody hit him. He kind of reminds me of Pernell Whitaker. Nobody could hit Pernell. The only time Pernell got hit is when he fought Trinidad and he lost because he wasn’t quick enough to get out of the way, there was nothing he could do. The same thing with this because Pacquiao is going to throw a hundred punches. And you know how Floyd goes into the corner, and Pacquiao can hit him because he’s got that much energy to do that and it seems like he likes doing that. He never runs out, he’s just one of those guys that goes ratatatat. So if Floyd lets him build up and throw all those punches it could be a one sided fight [for Pacquiao].”

Boxing fans are quick with the hyperbole. It’s understandable. It’s a dynamic sport. Sometimes when we watch someone gets knocked out dramatically, violently, it’s so profound an experience you’d swear it’s the best KO you’ve ever seen. But moments later we come to our senses, or if we …
