Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs Juan Manuel Marquez

Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs Juan Manuel Marquez

First of all let's get one thing clear. Is this a miss match? No it's not. The fight that everyone wants to see is Floyd Mayweather Vs Manny Pacquiao, do we see that fight as a miss match? No we don't. So let's not forget how close the two fights were between Marquez and Pacquiao. Where, in my opinion Marquez won the second fight. The only thing that separates Floyd Mayweather from both Marquez and Pacquiao other then his superior boxing and defense skill is that he is the naturally bigger guy.

Personally, i think Mayweather Jr should be fighting Shane Mosley, but that's another story all together.

Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs Juan Manuel Marquez - Who wins?

Well, i think Floyd will win the fight. But i wouldn't be that surprised if Marquez pulled out a win. Juan Manuel Marquez is one of the best fighters in the world, no doubt about it. He beat Pacman fair and square in the second fight, so that's how good he is. Marquez is underrated. He has great boxing skills and the true Mexican fighting spirit. He has the heart of a lion and i would love him to pull of a major upset and beat Floyd Maywether. That would truly seal Marquez's amazing boxing career.

I see Mayweather being a bit too fast for Marquez. And i know that Mayweather is going to be using the straight right hand down the pipe to try and knock out Marquez, or at least knock him down. I think it should be a very good fight, but i hope Marquez pulls off an upset. He deserves the win. Points win for Floyd though is the most likely outcome.

Great Fights And Theres More To Come

Great Fights And Theres More To Come

From Carl Froch's unbelievable knockout of Jermain Taylor in the last seconds of the last round of their fight, to Manny Pacquiao's total destruction of Ricky Hatton, Boxing is on fire at the moment with some great fights taking place. And like i said, theres more to come.

Floyd Mayweather Jr has made a comeback to boxing and is taking on Juan Manuel Marquez for his comeback fight, needless to say, this is a huge fight to take for your first fight back, many people, including many boxing experts believe Marquez beat Manny Pacquiao twice. So Floyd is facing a P4P king for sure. I don't think this will be an easy fight for Floyd Mayweather, as good as he is, Marquez is one hell of a fighter. Floyd Mayweather always finds a way to win though, and i think he will win this fight but it wont be easy. If Floyd does win the fight with Marquez he will no doubt be taking on Manny Pacquiao. If Floyd wants to truly be considered as the Pound for pound number 1 in the present time he has to beat Manny Pacquiao.

It must be on Floyd Mayweather Jr's mind that he went the distance and won a controversial decision against Oscar De La Hoya, and also took 10 rounds to beat Ricky Hatton. Where as Manny Pacquiao Beat Oscar easily and beat Hatton even easier. But like the old and very true saying goes..Styles make fights, and Manny Pacquiao Vs Floyd Mayweather is a superb match up. I hope it happens.

Then we go on to the big boys David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko. This fight has really caught the attention of fight fans world wide, mainly because the heavyweight division has been quite boring lately and this fight has injected some excitement back into the heavyweight scene, with David Haye talking trash and wearing t-shirts of him holding the decapitated heads of Wladimir and Vitali.

Also Both David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko are considered to have suspect chins so this makes for an interesting fight. Personally i think Wladimir will jab Hayes head off and David Haye won't be able to get past it, Wladimirs superb jab, height and weight advantage just being too much. I think Haye has jumped up in class, experience and weight too quick and he will lose this fight as a result. I might be wrong, if Haye can effectively use the "Tyson Style", moving his head, slipping punches and getting inside landing bombs he stands a chance. But no one has been able to get past the super jab of Wladimir (except Sanders), but that was earlier in Wlads career.

Prediction - David Haye will be Ko'd within 7 rounds.

Some great fights to come!

Ricky Hatton Vs Manny Pacquiao

Ricky Hatton Vs Manny Pacquiao - Saturday May 2nd

Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao are now in Los Angeles to promote their super fight, and that is what it is, a super fight. This fight has already got a money total of almost $90 Million. Fans where out in their thousands in L.A, with most of them coming to see Manny Pacquiao, as L.A is his second home.

Both fighters are supremely confident that they will be the one that's victorious come fight night, which one this will be is still anyone's guess, but most bookmakers will no doubt have Manny Pacquiao as the favorite. Most people also think Manny will win, but i think he has a much tougher nights work ahead of him then most people think. As mentioned before Ricky Hatton is very strong at his natural weight, which could bring Manny Pacquiao some problems. If Ricky Hatton can apply smart pressure, getting in close without taking too many punches he can win this fight.

If, on the other hand Manny Pacquiao can use his superior hand speed and great "in and out" footwork, keeping Ricky Hatton on the outside, he will win this fight pretty easily. But it's easier said then done to keep Hatton away from you for the whole fight. This is a great fight, both have advantages and disadvantages, in my opinion this is a close fight that i can't wait to see!

There is also a prize on offer for the winning trainer between Freddy Roach and Floyd Mayweather Senior. Whoevers fighter wins will get a prize. There has been some funny rhymes and banter from Floyd Mayweather Senior towards Freddy Roach, with Freddy Roach staying quiet and laughing it off.

all in all, everything about this fight is now heating up. The fight isn't even that far away, just a matter of weeks! Freddy Roach has said this will be a 3 round fight, predicting a quick knockout of Ricky Hatton. Somehow i don't think the fight will be over in 3 rounds for either fighter.

Can Amir Khan Now Win A World Title?

Can Amir Khan Now Win A World Title


After watching the fight with Marco Antonio Barrera, and seeing how Khan can box when everything depends on it, he has made me think he could possibly win a world title. Working with Freddy Roach and sparring with top fighters, including Manny Pacquiao has worked wonders for Amir Khan, he does seem much better, and although he will never have good punch resistance, if he can box like he did against Barrera, i think he could win a World Title.

Though i must admit, i do feel that if the cut never happened we could of seen a Barrera victory. Saying that, Amir Khan looked very fast and strong compared to Barrera, i know that Barrera moved up in weight for the fight, but maybe Amir Khan can use his strength and quickness to beat the current world title holders.

He can win a world title if he boxes clever, but you have to give thought to if, or when he does get caught with some good shots. Because in all honesty, although Khan fought a great fight against Barrera, Barrera never really got into the fight, and being 35 years old he wasn't exactly in his peak.

However, after this fight my opinion of Khan has changed, he did show composure, followed the corners instructions perfectly, and boxed clever under pressure. These are the keys to him winning a world title. If Amir Khan can stay fully focused, and most importantly, listen to Freddy Roach's advice and instructions, even when under pressure, he can win a world title. He has the best people around him for success and it seems to be working. Freddy Roach is the miracle man, and Manny Pacquiao is one of the best boxers in the world, if Khan can't win a world title with these two on his side, he never will. Lets hope his chin doesn't let him down.

Manny Pacquiao Is In The UK for The Ricky Hatton Fight Promotion

 Manny Pacquiao Is In The UK for The Ricky Hatton Fight Promotion

Manny Pacquiao is now in the UK promoting his fight with Ricky Hatton. I must say, Manny Pacquiao looks extremely relaxed and at ease, it's hard not to warm to him, he's such a friendly, humble fighter.

Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao are very friendly with each other, which is nice, there both professionals and know the game, there's no need for any bad mouthing or fighting now, but they both know, come fight night, there will be some serious fireworks. Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao are both extremely aggresive fighters, rarely taking a backward step, and i seriously doubt either man will change their style for this fight. This fight will be the fight of the year!

I don't think either fighters are taking each other lightly, they both know they each face a hell of a task, this could be one of their toughest fights ever.

I am very confident that Manny Pacquiao will have a much tougher night then he did against Oscar De La Hoya. Oscar did not turn up that night, it was a shell, he hardly threw any punches at all. This will not happen against Ricky Hatton, Hatton is coming to win, he will not lie down, not easily anyway! Alothough Manny Pacquiao does have the edge in this fight in terms of being the favorite, i seriously think Ricky Hatton should not be underestimated, this is a close fight, closer then many people beleive.

Ricky Hatton has the strength and power to trouble Manny Pacquiao. And Manny Pacquiao has the sharpness, accuracy, and speed to trouble Ricky Hatton. All in all, this will be a fight not to be missed!

There was some funny footage recorded of Manny Pacquiao on a train in the UK doing a Scottish Accent! Very Funny, check out the link below.

Ricky Hatton Vs Manny Pacquiao Back On

Ricky Hatton Vs Manny Pacquiao Back On

After much debate regarding the purse split Between Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao, it seems like they might have come to an agreement. First though i must say, i can't beleive the greedyness of Manny Pacquiao, he stands to make millions from this fight, even if he got 30%!! The Ricky Hatton camp have offered him a 50/50 split, but he was still not happy!

Bob Arum is going to meet with Manny and hopefully get him to sign the contract for the fight. Manny Pacquiao is still said to not be happy with the contract even though he stands to make 8.1 Million GBP for fighting Hatton. Manny Pacquiao has now been offered 8.5 Million GBP, and a 52/48 Pay-per-view split. If he doesn't accept that he is either silly, or does not want to fight Ricky Hatton. The only other reason i can think of is, he's beleiving the hype, people who are close to him are telling him he can demand more because he is the golden boy of boxing at the moment.

This really is a huge payday, the biggest for both Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. Manny Pacquiao could no way get that payday from fighting anyone else other then Ricky Hatton. Manny Pacquiao should just accept the fight before the Hatton camp get sick of waiting, which they are.

If Manny Pacquiao does not decide quickly, there are other fights on the cards for Hatton. A possible rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr or Hatton could even fight the winner of Juan Manuel Marquez Vs Juan Diaz. Boxing fans have a lot to look forward to.

Ricky Hatton Talks about his fight with Manny Pacquiao

Amir Khan Vs Ricky Hatton

Amir Khan Vs Ricky Hatton

There is quite a lot of talk lately about Amir Khan Vs Ricky Hatton taking place. Amir Khan has said he would love that fight and so has Ricky Hatton. Hattons only condition was that he would have to promote it.

I think this fight, although it seems a distant fight at the moment, could be a reality if certain fights go the right way, or wrong way. Like if Amir Khan looks impressive and beats Marco Antonio Barrera, and Ricky Hatton loses badly, or gets knocked out by Manny Pacquiao, then Amir Khan Vs Ricky Hatton could be the fight were all getting excited about very soon.

So how would this fight go? that's the million dollar question. Personally i think Ricky Hatton would win, his style would be too much for Amir Khan, too much pressure and no time to think. Amir Khan's defense is also very poor and i think Ricky Hatton would capitalise on that. Many people say Hatton doesn't have that much left, but after his last performance i still think, even if he lost badly to Manny, he would beat Amir Khan pretty easily.

Saying that, it's a fact that timing is a key factor in Boxing, has he got a fight with Hatton on the cards at the right stage (the end) of Hattons carrer..That could be the case. Amir Khan certainly has some good skills, so he has the tools to pull off a win, but his punch resistance is not up there, he has been rocked by boxers not considered as big punchers, and against Ricky Hatton you need some punch resistance.

Will Ricky Hatton Fight Floyd Mayweather Again?

Will Ricky Hatton Fight Floyd Mayweather Again?

There is much talk regarding this subject, will Ricky Hatton fight Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather has very recently said he would like to fight Ricky Hatton again, this could be down to money in my opinion, he knows Hatton is top draw and has so much support, it makes financial sense.

But does Ricky Hatton need Floyd more then Floyd needs Ricky..I don't think so. Ricky Hatton is in line to face Manny Pacquiao and has openly said he would prefer to fight Manny Pacquiao at the moment because he is considered the number 1 pound for pound at this moment in time. So Mayweather could end up fighting the winner of that fight! It has even been reported that Manny Pacquiao could fight Floyd Mayweather instead of Ricky Hatton, although nothing is certain yet. This is an exciting time at the moment with 3 of the best in the world potentially all in line to fight each other.

I personally feel that Ricky Hatton Vs Manny Pacquiao will be a great fight, much closer then people think. Ricky Hatton is very strong and could give Manny problems. In terms of Ricky Hatton fighting Floyd Mayweather again, i can only see that going one way, a victory for Floyd, i don't think it matters what Hatton does, he won't beat Floyd. Manny Pacquiao Vs Floyd Mayweather would be a dream fight but for some reason i see Floyd Claiming the win after a cagey fight with Floyd landing the more accurate punches.

These fights have the potential to the biggest fights ever! In terms of Money generated, and watched worldwide, and even the biggest attendance of any fight depending on where the fights get held.

Pound For Pound Boxer - Who's Number 1?

Pound For Pound Boxer - Who's Number 1?

There are some great boxers hovering around the pound for pound best boxer spot at the moment, but who is number 1? Well, all people have their own opinion. Any boxer in the pound for pound top 20 is an excellent boxer, and all boxers to have the courage to climb through the ropes and fight deserve credit.

I am going to list the top 5 Pound for Pound boxers, all superb fighters in their own way.

In 1st place, Pound for Pound best, i would say it has to be Floyd Mayweather Jr: Some people don't agree, or might say because he has said he's retired he should not be in the rankings anymore, but i disagree. Floyd Mayweather Jr has the best skills out of them all. His ring craft and masterful defense is breath taking to anyone that really knows boxing, and i think he deserves the number one spot for now.

Second in the pound for pound best boxers is Manny Pacquiao: This little guy has the heart of a lion and hand speed that most boxers just can't handle. Ask De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao is one hell of a fighter, such a modest guy too, thats why i like him so much.

Pound for pound 3rd place: Joe Calzaghe, never lost as a pro so far. Joe Calzaghe does have the best boxing record out of them all. Everyone that knows boxing knows, to stay unbeaten for such a long time takes some skill, determination and focus. Joe Calzaghe has always been a true champion, when Lacy came, people thought Joe Would lose, same with Kessler, B-Hop. Joe Calzaghe always finds a way to win. He is definately one of the best in the world. People say he can't punch, but if thats the case, doesn't that make him ever better considering how far he has gone and never lost a Pro fight? And he can't even punch...

Pound for Pound 4th place is: Ricky Hatton: Everyone thought Ricky Hatton Would lose to Paulie Malignaggi, how wrong they were. I think people forget how good Ricky Hatton is, He has lost only once, to the one and only p4p number 1 - Floyd Mayweather. Ricky Hatton deserves 4th place. Ricky Hatton could be pound for pound best boxer, 1st place, if he beats Manny Pacquiao, or has a rematch with Floyd Mayweather.

Pound for Pound 5th place, in my opinion is Bernard Hopkins: Hopkins really is a throw-back, his ring craft is with out any doubt at all the best in the world. Look how old he is and he's beating young up and coming fighters like Kelly Pavlik with ease. Some people may thing his style is boring, but that's the way he fights and in my opinion he does well, you never see him cut or knocked out. Bernard Hopkins is a very very clever fighter, he does a good job in terms of what boxing is meant to be about - hit and not be hit.

I would like your opinions on who you think are the top 5 Pound for Pound boxers in the world today...Comment Below.

Manny Pacquiao Beats Oscar De La Hoya In 8 Rounds

Manny Pacquiao Beats Oscar De La Hoya In 8 Rounds

This was one of the most shocking fights i have seen in a vey long time. Manny Pacquiao Vs Oscar De La Hoya was considered by most as an easy fight for Oscar De La Hoya! Many people said Oscar is just too big and strong, no one thought about Oscar turning up and not really throwing any punches!! Well thats what happened.

Manny Pacquiao Totally dominated this fight from start to finish, it was so one sided that Oscar De La Hoya's cornermen stopped the fight at the end of the 8th round, with Oscars eye very swollen. He's face looked like he had been fighting a heavyweight.

From the start Oscar De La Hoya just wasn't throwing enough punches, looking confused with Manny Pacquiao's speed and elusive style. Manny Pacquiao was beating him to the punch on every exchange, moving in and out too quick for De La Hoya.

We all thought Oscars power would be a big factor, but the truth is he hardly connected with manny all night, and when he did Manny Pacquiao done a good job of covering up and taking the shots well, or simply moving out the way. Mannys head movement was superb.

In my honest opinion, Oscar De La Hoya did not turn up on fight night for whatever reason, either that or he is finished and should call it a day. Not taking anything away from Manny Pacquiao, he fought a perfect fight, but he wasn't tested at all.

I don't think no one expected Oscar De La Hoya to get totally dominated like that, we at least expected a more even fight. For Oscar De La Hoya to be ok with the decision to end the fight after 8 Rounds was quite sad, even his corner men said theres nothing you can do to stop Manny.

For Manny Pacquiao the future is bright, he will now almost certainly face Ricky Hatton at Wembley Stadium in London England for a super fight that will be a total sell out.

The futures not too bad for Oscar De La Hoya either, he is worth well over 100 Million dollars (that's a low estimate) and he earned round about 25-30 Million for this fight alone so hey, the Golden Boy's done good.

Im sure he will fight again at some point.

Manny Pacquiao did not get tested in this fight but im sure when he faces Ricky Hatton he will be.

Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao Weigh In

Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao Weigh In

The fight is almost upon us, Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao. This should be a great fight, there is so much interest in the fight. Freak show, easy win for Oscar De La Hoya, what ever you want to call it, this fight has gained total world wide interest.

Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao both look in superb shape at the weigh in. Both were comfortably within the weight limit. Oscar De La Hoya does look quite a bit bigger then Manny Pacquiao, but hey, size is not everything. If Manny Pacquiao can stick to his game plan of speed punching, in and out, hit and not be hit, he can win this fight. If he trys to trade and have a war with Oscar De La Hoya, i think he will get badly beaten. Don't get me wrong, the opposite could happen, Manny Pacquiao Could knockout Oscar De La Hoya, he does have the power and ability.

Manny Pacquiao has been sparring with guys in the gym similar to Oscar De La Hoya's style and size so he as prepared well for this fight, just as he does for any fight. No doubt this is the toughest fight of Manny Pacquiao's career. If Manny Pacquiao wins this fight, he will be looked at like superman! I wish him luck. Who ever wins this will almost certainly face Ricky Hatton, so i hope Manny Pacquiao wins as that would be a much fairer fight in terms of size.No matter who Ricky Hatton ends up fighting out of these two, it will be a sell out, most probably in England!

I do have the feeling that Oscar De La Hoya will win this fight, although Manny Pacquiao will put up a great fight, the size and strength of Oscar De La Hoya will just be a bit too much for Manny Pacquiao. I hope im wrong.

Manny Pacquiao Vs Oscar De La Hoya

Manny Pacquiao Vs Oscar De La Hoya

Many people are calling Manny Pacquiao Vs Oscar De La Hoya a mismatch..In some ways i think thats right, but in another way, i think this could be a great fight.

Oscar De La Hoya is 35 years old so i think if Manny Pacquiao has a chance of winning it would be at this stage of Oscar De La Hoya's career. When you look at it, there isn't really that much difference in height, its mainly the difference in weight classes they both started at in their careers, Manny Pacquiao's being much lighter.

Obviously Oscar De La Hoya's frame is much bigger then Manny Pacquiao's but don't underestimate Manny Pacquiao, he is very strong for his size and im sure he has been sparring with some big guys in the gym. I think Oscar too would have prepared very well for Manny Pacquiao by sparring with extremely fast punching guys.

Speed will play a big part in this fight, Manny Pacquiao could just have too much speed at this late stage of Oscar De La Hoya's career. But then again, if Oscar catches Manny coming in, it could be night night for Manny Pacquiao.

Will this fight be too much for Oscar De La Hoya if it goes through to the second half of the fight..As we all know, Manny Pacquiao is superfit and sets an exhausting pace which might tire Oscar out if it's not a quick 1-4 round KO fight.

Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya are two great champions and in a way neither of them have anything to prove.

This fight has generated a lot of interest, good or bad, and that means huge money for both fighters. I do hope Manny Pacquiao wins this fight so he can face Ricky Hatton.
