The recent battle between WBO Welterweight world champion Jessie Vargas and future Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao was in some ways treated as an afterthought by some Boxing fans. This was partly due to some feeling that the champion Vargas was a significant underdog, despite winning his world championship in his last fight prior to the encounter with Pacquiao in scoring a ninth round stoppage over previously undefeated contender Sadam Ali in March of this year. Pacquiao meanwhile came into the fight off of a recent retirement following his second victory in his trilogy with two-division world champion Timothy Bradley this past April. Following that fight, Pacquiao was elected as a senator in his native Philippines. Although Pacquiao, a former eight- division world champion has more than secured his place in any Hall of Fame associated with the sport of Boxing, his decision to return to the ring following his retirement was not surprising. After all, when the name Manny Pacqu...

After a period of time that was referred to affectionately by some, including this observer as “Darktober” for the sport due to the significant absence of Boxing on television in the United States in the month of October; a period of time that was highlighted by the Chicago Cubs emerging victorious in the 2016 World Series, Boxing now prepares to return to center stage in November highlighted by two significant marquee pay-per-view  cards.

When one discusses the history of Boxing, there are many legendary figures of the sport. Fighters who were able to establish themselves as legends for various reasons. In regard to Boxing’s Middleweight division, one would be hard pressed when discussing its history to not mention the name of Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins, the fighter who made a career out of doing things his way by refusing to play ball with numerous promoters and such that could have elevated him to superstar status in the sport at a much earlier time in his career. The fighter known as “The Executioner” for much of his career would instead systematically construct one of the greatest reigns as a World Middleweight champion in history. A reign atop the Middleweight division that lasted for over a decade from 1995-2005 and compiled twenty successful defenses, a Middleweight record, of what became the Undisputed World Middleweight championship. For much of that reign, Hopkins was largely under the radar and did n...

When longtime Light-Heavyweight and Cruiserweight contender Tony Bellew challenged for the vacant WBC Cruiserweight world championship earlier this year and scored a thrilling and brutal third round knockout of top contender Ilunga Makabu, it seemed to signal what might be a new era for the Cruiserweight division, a division that has long struggled for mainstream exposure particularly here in the United States. Bellew, who had previously come up short against longtime WBC Light-Heavyweight world champion Adonis Stevenson in his only previous opportunity at a world championship had established himself as a fighter to watch with the “Game” effort he put forth in defeat against Stevenson. Bellew’s victory over Makabu in winning a world championship in the Cruiserweight division clearly established him as one of the best Cruiserweights in the world. A fighter with a crowd pleasing style, who is almost always in an exciting fight. The world champion certainly has the credentials and ...
