It looks as though we are probably going to see Roy Jones Jr as the next opponent for undefeated world super middleweight champion, Joe Calzaghe.

Whilst Roy Jones is no where near as good as he was at his prime, he still put in an impressive display against Felix Trinidad and so could provide a challenge for Joe Calzaghe.

I think the key thing (read more…)

Since Calzaghe beat Hopkins in a split decision, everyday seems to bring a new fighter out of the woodwork who wants to face the Welshman.

First to put his name forward was Roy Jones and now Antonio Tarver has said he wants to fight Calzaghe.

Just shows what beating a high profile yank can do for your career!

Firstly let me make it clear that these are not “new” fighters, they are old ones being tried again (read more…)

Having watched Joe Calzaghe defeat Bernard Hopkins with a majority decision, former pound for pound king Roy Jones wants to fight the undefeated champion.

Roy Jones even says he will travel to Cardiff to fight Calzaghe, if that’s what it takes!

With what is arguably the boxing fight of the year just hours away, we want as many predictions from boxing fans as possible on who will win out of Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins.

But we don’t just want a straight out winner, we want to know not only who you think will win out of Hopkins and Calzaghe, but when, how and most importantly; Why?

For those boxing fans (read more…)

Well many people (including most of the team here!) thought that the fight between old timers Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad would be a lame fight with both boxers simply getting into the ring for a bit more cash.

However it was a fairly good fight, much better than we had expected, with Roy Jones Jr. (52-4, 38 KOs) winning a unanimous 12-round decision over Felix “Tito” Trinidad (42-3, 35 KOs) at New York’s Madison Square Gardens.

Although (read more…)

Is it just me or is this fight happening years after it should have happened?

Both of these boxers are way past their prime but Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad are set to go head to head in Las Vegas in just a couple of days.

To be honest, either Roy Jones and Felix Trinidad are half decent liars or neither of them actually know how far past their prime they are (read more…)

Thanks to Michael Jordan, every sports star seem to want to make a “comeback”. Actually I think this stems back to Muhammad Ali who made the original “greatest comeback”.

But the fact is that Ali didn’t intentionally retire, he was forced to stop boxing. Show offs like Mayweather come out with utter rubbish about retirement so they can claim that they are making some magnificent comeback. This are fakes. Just retire when you want to retire, but don’t announce that you are going to retire just to raise PPV sales because its annoying boxing fans like myself!

This “comeback” by Roy Jones Junior and Felix Trinidad is (read more…)

Ronald “Winky” Wright has become even closer to a potential re-match with middleweight ruler Jermain Taylor after he beat Ghanaian old hand Ike Quartey. Wright once conquered the light middleweight division between 2001 and 2005 but after a great triumph over Felix Trinidad in his first fight at middleweight he drew with Taylor when they clashed back in June.

Wright out-pointed Quartey in his hometown of Tampa, Florida, after unbelievably throwing more than 1,000 punches and scoring a knockdown in the second round. The one time welterweight world champ Quartey harassed Wright throughout and made a bid for the win in a topsy-turvey final round (read more…)

Here are the top ten pound for pound boxers around today as decided by BoxingDaily

1. Floyd Mayweather – Welterweight – United States
Record - 36 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws, 24KOs
Mayweather became a world champion at four different weights with his contentious victory over Zab Judah, although he is yet to completely control a division. He is still likely to be facing Ricky Hatton in the near future. Now that’ll be a good fight!

2. Marco Antonio Barrera - Super featherweight - Mexico
Record – 61 wins, 4 losses, 0 draws, 42KOs
Marco dismissed any idea that he was a ‘spent force’ by thrashing Morales in the third chapter of their fantastic trilogy. At 31, and battle-scarred, he still remains a great force to be reckoned with (read more…)
