“I don’t know man. I think Pacquiao’s a superhero, bro. I don’t know how he does it. I mean the training that you see that he puts in at the gym, you can see how he does it but at the same time, to do what he’s done! I just can’t wait for my kids’, kids’, kids’ to talk about this guy and hopefully one day I’ll be just like that if not better, so people can talk about me. I’m just happy that I’m living in a time where there are people like Manny Pacquiao to help you accomplish your goals and watching somebody like that is amazing.”

THE GREAT Julio Cesar Chavez was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last week in Canasota, N.Y. He captivated the sport with a splendid combination of sweet boxing skills, vicious power and a thirst for brutality. After all, it is the hurt business.

Former three division champion Erik Morales said that he expects WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to give Juan Manuel Marquez a beating on November 12 in Las Vegas. At one point, Morales was going to face Marquez in April, but the fight never happened. After Marquez walked away, …

On whether he believes Floyd would need more tune-ups after Ortiz before being ready to face Pacquiao:

“He’ll need more. It ain’t so much for Pacquiao, anyway. It’s more tune-ups to perform up to his level of performance. It ain’t so much Pacquiao as do you want to perform up to your expectations. You have to be active to do that. When you ain’t active you can’t do that. Just like what I told you about Sugar Ray Leonard. Yeah he got up for the fight for Marvin Hagler. That was the biggest fight that was out there. But what happened after that? What I’m saying is he prepared for Marvin Hagler because that was the biggest fight for him out there so he prepared for it.

There’s also the possibility that Mayweather is back in the ring mostly for cash and not the purposes of enhancing his ring legacy in the shape of a career coda against Pacquiao. According to Grand Rapids Press reporter David Mayo, who’s followed Mayweather as long as anyone, the fighter is again facing a multi-million dollar tax bill from the I.R.S.
In addition, anyone following Mayweather on Twitter knows that he uses large sums of money for betting on basketball, among other things.

Floyd Mayweather Returning To The Ring
Dan Rafael on Floyd Mayweather Jr. saying that he will fight Victor Ortiz in September

Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KO’s) remains boxing’s biggest attraction, wowing crowds and generating record pay-per-view numbers each time he steps into the ring. In his last ring appearance on May 1, 2010, Mayweather dismantled Sugar Shane Mosley in a lopsided unanimous decision victory. Mayweather is no stranger to fighting on Mexican Independence Day weekend either, as prior to his sensational win over Mosley, he took on Mexican boxing star Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19, 2009, beating his opponent in spectacular fashion. During his extraordinary career, he has amassed wins over world champions such as Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar de la Hoya and Ricky Hatton.

The offer was made yesterday over the phone by a Singapore group that handles special events for big casinos in the island state, according to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum.
Arum revealed that Mayweather demanded $10million before he and the Singaporeans could even discuss a possible title fight with the Pac-man.

In a video interview with ESNewsReporting’s Ellie Seckbach, Top Rank boss Bob Arum claims that an interested party from …

Now we know how olden days fighters like Sugar Ray Robinson and Henry Armstrong had over 100 fights. They recorded sparring sessions against tomato cans as wins. We also know that Henry Armstrong did not hold the Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight titles while fighting for the Middleweight title. His attempt to win the Middleweight title against Ceferino Garcia was only sanctioned by California and it was only a 10 round fight.

Teddy Atlas needs to brush up on his knowledge of the olden days. He acts like he was actually there when Armstrong was fighting. His fellow American broadcasters also need to brush up on their boxing history and knowledge so they can correct the BS and ignorance that Atlas regularly regurgitates on ESPN.
