| DAVE HENDERSON: "FIGHTHYPE.COM IS JAMES TONEY'S TWITTER ACCOUNT!"
By Percy Crawford | July 29, 2010

| RANKING MANNY PACQUIAO WITH THE ALL-TIME GREATS
By Joseph Hirsch | July 29, 2010
Three years ago, ESPN released their "50 Greatest Fighters of All Time" list. The criteria consisted of "in-ring performance, dominance, mainstream appeal, and achievements." Floyd Mayweather was 48th and Roy Jones Jr. was 46th. Manny Pacquiao was nowhere to be found. Was it right to leave PacMan off the list? To be fair, he had not yet beaten Barrera, Cotto, Marquez, De La Hoya, or Hatton. But now that some time has passed, a reassessment is definitely in order. read more

| ISHE SMITH: "I'M LOOKING TO DO GREAT THINGS AT 154 POUNDS"
By Percy Crawford | July 29, 2010
"The guy that scored the fight 97-91 never needs to judge a fight ever again.

I was 57 the week before the fight. They can expect for me to be the same way; explosive and putting on good fights. I will fight anybody at 154 pounds; anyone that Lou and DBE sees fit. I'm all about putting on good fights," stated middleweight Ishe Smith as he reflected on his controversial unanimous decision loss to Fernando Guerrero. Check out what else he had to say about the fight as he looks to put those events in the past and move on to the future, which includes a return to the jr. middleweight division. read more

| ESPN CAMERAS IN CAMP WITH HEAVYWEIGHT CHRIS ARREOLA
By Press Release | July 28, 2010
Yesterday was another "consecutive day" in camp for heavyweight world contender Chris Arreola, a training camp which he and his trainer Henry Ramirez are taking a "one day at a time" approach. This training streak reminds Ramirez of the hard work Arreola put in during the early stages of his career, beginning each morning with road work and ending with a hard and complete workout in the gym. The only difference between Arreola's early success and his new found commitment to training is the ESPN2 camera crew following him around to document a glimpse of his training regiment for a special piece which will air on August 13th as part of the show featuring his highly anticipated match against Manuel Quezada. read more

| SERGIO MORA: "I'M GOING TO BE THE FIRST MEXICAN TO BEAT SHANE MOSLEY"
By Percy Crawford | July 28, 2010
"Shane Mosley grew up over here sparring every Mexican great out here, from Genaro Hernandez to Lopez. Mexican fighters love to spar out here and Mosley was sparring with all of them. Who else would take all of these kinds of fights and challenges against these Mexican warriors? That's what makes this fight interesting is because I'm of Mexican decent, it's a huge Mexican holiday on September 18th and he's knocked out or beaten pretty much every Mexican fighter: De La Hoya, Vargas, Margarito and David Estrada. He's beaten them up in and out of the gym. The bottom line is I gotta stand up for my side...I'm going to be the first Mexican to beat Shane Mosley and I'm excited about that," stated former jr. middleweight champion as he talked about his upcoming September 18 clash with former welterweight champion Shane Mosley.

| IS ZAB JUDAH REALLY BACK?
By Joseph Hirsch | July 28, 2010
Before he entered the ring for his last fight against Jose Santa Cruz on ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights," the commentators declared that Judah said he was a changed man; that he had matured in the months he had been away from boxing. I wasn't so sure. This was the guy who had done the "funky chicken" against Kostya Tszyu, getting knocked down before getting back up on shaky legs and then wobbling back to the canvas. This was the guy who had set off a riot in the Thomas Mack Arena in Las Vegas, setting up his opponent Floyd Mayweather with a rabbit-punch, low-blow combo that brought trainer Roger Mayweather into the ring. read more

| KENNY ADAMS: "PACQUIAO IS IN TROUBLE"
By Percy Crawford | July 28, 2010
"I think the fight will happen next year and I see Mayweather outboxing him and outsmarting him. People have to understand, brains beats brawn anytime if you got the conditioning and everything that goes with it. Once again, I think Mayweather is just smart enough to where he's going to make him step into a lot of holes. And that's the key. I think the early rounds are going to be interesting, again, as I thought they would be with the Mosley fight. The early rounds are very important and if he can do what I think he can in the early rounds, Pacquiao is in trouble and he's going to make him step into holes," stated world-class trainer Kenny Adams as he shared his thoughts on a potential showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Having worked with a who's who list of fighters, including 18 world champions, Adams knows a thing or two about talent and skill. You don't want to miss what else he had to say Mayweather, Pacquiao, the current state of the heavyweight division, Edwin Valero's alleged suicide, and much more. Check it out! read more

He's been away from the spotlight for quite a long time and we believe that's a good thing. Michael is well preserved. He is 37 next week and in world heavyweights that's a good age, it's a seasoned age. August 21st will be a tremendous opportunity for us to be named on the short list of guys like Klitschko and Valuev." read more

TKO Boxing Promotions was founded two years ago. Between then and now we have signed some wonderful fighters, done forty six shows and crisscrossed the United States trying to build the fighters and the company.

| LEONARD ELLERBE: "I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NO NEGOTIATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE"
By Ben Thompson | July 27, 2010
"I stand 100% behind my statement. How the hell can you have a negotiation when the principal himself says he's not even thinking about boxing at this particular time and he's the one calling the shots and is his own boss? This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion and I'm not going to go back and forth with this. I know for a fact that no negotiations have taken place and it's clear to me that those that made those statements are not clear on what the term 'negotiation' means," stated Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe when informed about the recent statement released by HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg regarding alleged negotiations for a mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. After Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, revealed that Greenburg was acting as a mediator while negotiating with Mayweather's manager, Al Haymon, Ellerbe categorically denied that any negotiations had ever taken place in the first place. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, as well as Oscar De La Hoya, would back the statement made by Ellerbe, also denying that negotiations took place. read more

| FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR.: "THE ONLY REASON THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE FIGHT..."
By Percy Crawford | July 27, 2010
"One thing for sure is Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. That's one thing for sure. Everybody needs to get that straight; that's straight and to the point. Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. That's the last guy he's scared of in boxing, but the whole thing is, man, the money Lil Floyd done made and the money he would get fighting Pacquiao, think about it. Make a million dollars in one year and see what Uncle Sam gonna do to you. So that's what I'm talking about. Make $100 million in one year and see what Uncle Sam gonna do. It would be like he aint never fought Shane. I'm telling you the real deal of how it is," stated Floyd Mayweather Sr. as he shared his thoughts on the reason why a fight between his son and Manny Pacquiao won't be happening this year. As usual, you don't want miss what else Mayweather Sr. had to say about Pacquiao and much more. Check it out! read more

The long, often arduous journey for unbeaten super middleweight Lennox "2 Sharpe" Allen, a native of Guyana, took him around the world before finally settling in Brooklyn. The 25-year-old southpaw turned pro six years ago in Georgetown, Guyana. Less than a year later, attempting to kick-start his boxing career, he moved to Perth, Western Australia.

| WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT?
By Joseph Hirsch | July 27, 2010
When it comes to picking the best of all time, people tend to disagree about which system is the most reliable for ranking fighters. Some people believe The Ring is still the Bible of Boxing, while others tend to prefer the more nascent Boxrec.com. I've heard criticism of both organizations. There really is no objective opinion, and when barroom arguments erupt about who should occupy the top spots, there tends to be a generational gap as well. I love and respect Bert Sugar, and keep copies of his works on my bookshelf, but the old timer's bias is something we've all encountered; I personally have trouble when it comes to ranking fighters who were barely, if ever, seen fighting on film. read more

| PACQUIAO STILL SUFFERING FROM CATCHWEIGHT FEVER
By Carl Guevara | July 27, 2010
7-Division champion and current WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is now set to face former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito on November 13 for the vacant WBC jr. middleweight championship. The fight came about after the second round of negotiations between Floyd and Manny were "put on hold" until next year. With Mayweather currently vacationing in Puerto Rico, allegedly also there to discuss some business matters with Miguel Cotto, Pacquiao is moving forward to bigger challenges. Unfortunately, however, it looks like Manny's catchweight fever has yet to be cured and there's no antidote in sight to instantly kill this virus. Look, I'm not against the Pacquiao vs. Margarito fight. I'm actually excited to see if Margarito can last at least 5 rounds against the Fighter of the Decade. I also want to see if Manny can win an unparalleled 8th divisional world title. What I'm up against, however, is the manner in which it is going to be claimed. read more

| GREENBURG CONFIRMS NEGOTIATIONS TOOK PLACE, BUT DE LA HOYA STILL DENIES IT
By Ben Thompson | July 26, 2010
Earlier today, HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg confirmed that he was indeed acting as a mediator for representatives of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao as both sides attempted to negotiate a November 13 clash. "Fights like Mayweather vs. Pacquiao are significant because of these fighters' ability to connect with sports fans around the world. It's unfortunate that it won't happen in 2010. I had been negotiating with a representative from each side since May 2nd, carefully trying to put the fight together. Hopefully, someday this fight will happen. Sports fans deserve it," he stated in a prepared statement. The timing of his comments are intriguing considering that, just last week, while Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe was denying that any negotiations ever took place, Greenburg had no comment on the subject. read more

| KENNY ADAMS: "VALERO WOULD HAVE KNOCKED PACQUIAO OUT"
By Percy Crawford | July 26, 2010
"He was more than a talent my man. Look here, he could have gone down as possibly one of the greatest fighters of all time. He had power, endurance, stamina, and the guy was pretty smart. He could have made a lot of money. Hey, Valero would have knocked Pacquiao out! I don't care what anybody says and they can say whatever they want to say. I worked with him and I knew exactly what he was about and what he can do. He would have knocked Pacquiao out and I think he may have even beaten Mayweather because of his constant pressure and his punching ability," stated world-class trainer Kenny Adams as he shared his thoughts on undefeated lightweight champion Edwin Valero, who tragically died ealier this year. Adams, who has worked with 18 world champions and coached the 1988 U.S. Olympic boxing team to 3 gold medals, talked about a number of subjects and you don't want to miss what else he had to say.

| TREVOR WITTMAN: "WE BEAT OURSELVES...I REALLY DON'T THINK BROCK BEAT US"
By Percy Crawford | July 26, 2010
"I think he made the right decision to stay on the gas pedal. He could have slowed down, but when you have the ref saying that you are one or two punches away from that fight being stopped...and there was a point in the fight, probably about 45 seconds in that round, I looked at Shane and there was nothing left in the fuel tank...From that point, it was just one of those things and if you've never been in that situation, you just don't know what it's like. It had nothing to do with his conditioning; it's just he gives 110% with everything. I commend the referee because he let the fight go to be able to see a fighter come back, so I don't think it was the referee's fault. I think he did a great job. But I think the lack of experience of not knowing how not to finish someone played into that...We beat ourselves that night. I really don't think Brock beat us," stated world-class boxing/MMA trainer Trevor Wittman as he shared his thoughts Shane Carwin's loss to Brock Lesnar at UFC 116. Check out what else he had to say about Carwin, James Toney's upcoming MMA debut against Randy Coutur, and much more. read more

| MAYWEATHER TOLD YOU HE WAS DONE FOR 2010; ARUM FOOLED YOU INTO THINKING OTHERWISE
By Ben Thompson | July 26, 2010
Over the past week, there's been a lot of confusion and speculation about who's really telling the truth regarding alleged negotiations for a November 13 clash between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. According to Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, there were never any negotiations to begin with. If promoter Bob Arum is to be believed, however, there were indeed conversations about the potential fight held between himself, Mayweather's manager Al Haymon, and HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg, who supposedly acted as a mediator for both sides. What exactly may have been said during those conversations and whether or not they constitute real negotiations will likely remain a mystery, but one thing is clear: whether or not you believed him, Floyd Mayweather already revealed his plans for the remainder of 2010 long before any deadline was set by Bob Arum. read more

| HOW WOULD TYSON HAVE FAIRED AGAINST THE KLITSCHKOS?
By Joseph Hirsch | July 26, 2010
People have an image of Mike Tyson that time can't erase. They see him as indestructible, that iron phoenix rising from the Brownsville, New York projects, fighting his way to becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in the world. After Mike set that record, becoming the lineal champ at the ripe old age of twenty-one, he declared that his record would live on in immortality. The more time passes, the more correct his prediction seems. read more

According to his lawyer, Franklin Gacal, the Filipino superstar will demand a catchweight of 150 pounds should he decide to take on Antonio Margarito for the vacant WBC jr. middleweight title on November 13.
