Two individuals, who at a time before, decided to carve their name on the epitome of boxing greatness. Today, these two are regarded as the top fighters in their respective division. One an experienced superstar who's in it to prove he is the best among the rest and the other, a representative of a long blood of champions, who is looking to cement his position as the greatest boxer of all time.

A 3rd round brutal knockout over Edison Miranda puts Lucian Bute at 26-0 (21Ko) and build up a reputation as a devastating one punch finisher. Miranda was taunting Bute's alleged lack of power when he was floored with a left uppercut that could have detached his brain. So can we regard Bute as the lead Super middleweight ? or does he still have lots to prove? Bute is currently fourth on my list

Newly crowned WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler has definately earned the victory over Carl Froch, and should not be excused for getting the benefit of home advantage. Reports are quoting Froch accusing the judges of scoring the fight based on the home fighter and not the fight itself. Having watched the fight, i think Kessler deserves the win, especially with the chaotic final round

Fresh from his KO victory against Carlos Quintana, Andre Berto (26-0) 20 ko's has called out Pacman in a showdown that will see the WBO & WBC titles on the line. A canceled bout against Shane Mosley meant Berto had to wait a bit longer to get a super fight, thus taking on Quintana and knocking him out in the 8th round.Going through the list of welterweights out there, one will see that Mayweather

Puerto Rican star, and former welterweight champion Miguel Cotto will be facing light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman at the Yankees stadium. I guess its safe to say that this will be a make or break fight for Cotto. 2 deafeats (Pacquiao & Margarito) and a dodgy SD victory (Clottey) has seen his status as an elite boxer fall. Cotto now has a chance to make a new name for himself as a new

David Haye defends his WBA Heavyweight title against mandatory challenger John "The Quietman" Ruiz which promises to be a good fight. Can home advantage get Haye past Ruiz, or will the quietman pull an upset win and take the title away from him.

i kinda feel sad for Jones Jr. He's ego is still the size of a watermelon but his skills are as depleted as a sun-dried tomato. It is that ego which made him sign this rematch against Hopkins. lets break it down and see how the fight will unfold.Coming into this fight, Jones Jr. was handed one of the most humiliating defeats in his career at the hands of Green via a first round KO. He remains

Another win is racked up by Dr. Wladimir as he knocks the wind out of Eddie Chambers in the 12th round to leave him hanging on the rope for a good minute. Eddie basically fell like a sack of potatoes and was twitching, as he received a powerful left hook from Wladimir. Although not the impressive win everyone was hoping for, Wladimir still has cemented himself as an untouchable in the Heavyweight

Step up Eddie Chambers, the latest man to try his luck and stop one of the dominating forces in Boxing history, the Klitscho brothers. Eddie takes on Wladimir in Germany and will try to pull off a shock victory but is he biting off more than he can chew?Eddie is know for his speed in the heavyweight division and together with his boxing skills, has seen some impressive wins being racked up by the

Pacquiao crossed out yet another big welterweight from his list of opponents as he cruised to a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Joshua "Peak-a-boo Master" Clottey. Credit to Pacquiao for giving non-stop action for 12 rounds but the fight was however pretty dullSo what now for Pacquiao? well his time from boxing will be put on hold up till November as he runs for congress in the

Another welterweight comes and goes, with his head down in disappointment as he fails to stop the Pac. Joshua Clottey employed the wrong strategy in the fight and it cost him dearly. Never again will he have a chance to fight one of the top fighters or a world title fight. If he would have thrown at least 150 punches more, it would have been somewhat of an exciting fight. In front of a sell out

Agonizing hours of waiting for this fight has come and gone. This Saturday, Ghanaian tank Josh Clottey will get a chance in a lifetime when he faces pound 4 pound king Manny Pacquiao for the WBO welterweight championship. Will Clottey seize his opportunity and cause one of the biggest upset in boxing history? or will his name be crossed out on Manny's already impressive Hit-List? Read on to find

Some disappointments here and there, surprise fights being put together and we are back on course for a great 2010. Lets look at some of the fights that have been announced and how I think they will unfold:Manny Pacquiao Vs Joshua ClotteyI have to admit that at first look, this match was a waste of time. The way Pacquiao has been performing lately might suggest he will steamroll past Clottey and

So its been twice now that I've said the big fight will happen this year but towards the end, and not in March. How can I be so sure, when everyone else is saying the fight is off? Well let me give you my arguments on why I think they are just buying some time.Physical ConditionMayweather has fought only one fight since returning, against Marquez. To fight Pacquiao, he will need to tune up his

Since everyone else is giving out awards for what they perceive was the best in the category, I have decided to do the same, so here are my pics for the 2009 awards:Best Fight Of The Year 2009Marcos Maidana Vs.

Let me digest this piece of info for a while okay....WOW...just to underline how big 2010 could be for boxing, this colossal fight was announced and believe me it will be a strong contender for fight of the year 2010.

What a year 2009 was. Amazing fights, shocking results, comeback victories and we ended the year with a spectacular fight between Paul Williams & Sergio Martinez. So can 2010 go one step further and make it the best year boxing has ever seen? there is a huge potential of that happening, so without further a due, let me introduce to you my 10 super fights of 2010, and the chances of it

As predicted, Vitali Klitschko successfully defended his title against Kevin Johnson, who deserve loads of credit for going 12 rounds against the Ukrainian powerhouse. Klitschko was awarded a unanimous decision with 2 judges scoring it 120-108 and the other 119-109.It went as expected, with Vitali dominating from start to finish and giving problems to Kevin troughout. Johnson couldn't deal with

So you figured out what style you gonna adopt, now lets see which stance are you.The OrthodoxRight handed boxers who put their left foot and fist out and keeps the right ones in. They jab with their left and delivers power punches and uppercuts with the stronger right. Most modern day boxers are perfecting their left hand as well, to counter the threat of the other stance.

I'm not a pretty big fan of the heavyweight scene. Since Tyson's days were numbered, I just lost interest and moved to the lower weight classes. Then came the Klitschko Brothers. Now these behemoths have single handedly dominated the heavyweight boxing scene with such ridiculous power, I honestly thought no one could topple them, or is there?

Mark this date in your calenders, diaries, Pda's & laptops people coz its a date you should not forget. This date will bare witness to the greatest fight of the decade and potentially in the history of boxing. it has been compared to Ali Vs. Frazier, Ali Vs. Foreman & De La Hoya Vs.

What an exceptional performance by Khan. He knocked Salita down 10 seconds in with his first and second punch ( a left straight and a right hook) of the fight, knocked him down again 36 seconds later and ended the fight with a KO victory within 72 seconds of the first round. That is as good as it gets. Salita had no chance to do anything at all. He was destroyed, annihilated, obliterated with

It was billed as the ultimate rematch between two boxing greats. 40yr old Roy Jones Jr. & 44yr old Bernard Hopkins thought they had it all planned. Have a "prep" fight and then square off against each other to finally determine who the better fighter is. Hopkins, who had a 1 year layoff executed his plan perfectly, winning the match via a dominating unanimous decision against Enrique Ornelas (I

Buoyed by the success of his superstar protege, Freddie Roach has come out flaring saying that the Pacman's' penultimate fight will see him up his weight to 154lbs and challenge Yuri Foreman for his title."Yuri Foreman might be the opponent.

Born into the bloodlines of boxing greats, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has established himself as one of the top performers in the sport. The undefeated, quick feet fighter has won 6 in 6 as well as numerous awards but is Mayweather, voted Ring Magazine fighter of the year in 98' and 07' really the best boxer of all time?

Well the big match has come and gone. Many (except for me) were surprised at the way Pacman dispatched Cotto, in what was billed as the fight of the year. Sympathies for Cotto though as he wanted to go out with honor via decision, but the referee made the right choice in stopping the fight, with regards to fighter safety.

The reason for my explosive interest in boxing has to be attributed to this guy. I have been following him since his fight vs. Barrera 1 and he keeps on surprising me. Started his career at a weight of 106lbs, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao will go into his next match vs. Miguel Cotto at a catch weight of 145lbs. A quick research shows that he is one of only 6 boxers who have won 6 titles in 6 different
