Bob Arum, protecting Manny Pacquiao from Sugar Shane

By: J.J. Jack

Yep, apparently, Arum wants to keep Pacquiao’s third world ass safe from big bad Sugar Shane.

Manny ‘’Pacman'’ Pacquiao really did it now. With the way he’s been pissing all over the tradition of boxing, one by one, the sport’s legends came out, each hoping to finally save the sport that we love from the mediocrity Pacquiao has slapped it with.

First came Oscar De La Hoya, coming out of retirement to save us from the biggest joke in boxing. Then came Ricky Hatton. But as great as both fighters have been in their careers, they were simply not the same when they fought Pacquiao, both failing to lead boxing to its salvation.

Shane MosleyBut when Floyd Mayweather Jr., the BEST POUND FOR POUND FIGHTER IN THE WORLD, came back from retirement to reclaim his spot back on the spotlight, we knew then that Pacquiao’s time as paper champion is about to come to a close.

Now, with this ‘’other'’ guy wanting to get a shot at Pacquiao’s third world ass as well, Pacquiao’s people is just determined to delay the inevitable. Apparently, ‘’Sugar'’ Shane Mosley wants Manny Pacquiao and Pacquiao’s people knows that Sugar Shane always gets what he wants. They know too that the moment Sugar Shane set his mind into kicking Pacquiao’s ass, it’s only a matter of time before Mosley does just that.

The problem is, Pacquiao’s people is getting in the…

Remembering the Greatness of Mike Tyson

By: J.J. Jack

With Fight Night Round 4 set to be released on June 23, this is probably the perfect time for boxing fans to do just that.

And since the sport DESPERATELY needs guys like Mike Tyson back in the ring and not some paper champion from the third world who thinks he’s God’s gift to boxing, remembering the days when boxing had real champions like Iron Mike should be satisfying.

Love him or hate him, the name of Mike Tyson is synonymous to greatness. Some people even claim that the moment Tyson stepped inside the ring, his name was already destined to shine along with the greats of the sport, perhaps even among the greatest of all sports.

Mike TysonLegend has it that when Cus D’Amato first saw Mike Tyson, he immediately said, ‘’there is the next heavyweight champion of the world.'’ He would later be likened to Jack Dempsey, Joe Frazier and Rocky Marciano for his vicious seek and destroy mentality. Once his professional career began, it seemed like all the comparisons he had drawn were warranted. Instantly he became a crowd sensation and a media darling. His reputation was as feared as he himself…

Manny Pacquiao has a Death Wish, wants Miguel Cotto

By: J.J. Jack

Apparently, the guy wants to die now.

After scoring yet another fluke victory, this time over Manchester native Rick Hatton, Manny ‘’the Pacman'’ Pacquiao asked Bob Arum to go get his next opponent. This time, he wants the reigning WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, the same guy who just successfully defended his title belt against Joshua Clottey a few days ago.

You read it. It turns out that Manny Pacquiao wants to schedule a fight with Miguel Cotto as soon as possible. After all, Pacquiao knows that the guy just came off a brutal war against Clottey and since the WBO welterweight champ suffered a bad cut on his left eyebrow, Pacquiao knows nursing that will eat a few weeks from the guy’s training, giving the third world moron an edge.

Miguel Cotto‘’Manny told me what to do,'’ Bob Arum said. ‘’Manny told me, ‘Go ahead, make that fight.’ So it will go Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand here in Vegas.'’

Yes, they even have a date set already. And if this Manny Pacquiao - Miguel Cotto fight is indeed officially set on November 14, that’ll give Cotto less than five months to recuperate from his fight with Joshua Clottey, nurse that badly cut left eyebrow and prepare for the biggest joke in boxing.

Not the ideal set of circumstances that can be considered fair. But hey, this is Manny Pacquiao, and for a guy who tells his people to put aging fighters past their prime in front of him, what do you expect?

When asked if Arum will consider rescheduling the fight to…

Floyd Mayweather - Juan Manuel Marquez Fight Delayed

By: Seth Edward O'Neal

seth-edward-oneal.jpgJust when you’re all hyped up for the fight, this happens.

For all ya’ll looking forward to the scheduled Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Juan Manuel Marquez fight on July 18, I guess you would have to wait a little longer.

It turns out that the bout is now postponed after Floyd Mayweather Jr. suffered a rib injury in training last week, forcing him to delay his highly anticipated return to boxing. You see, he was happy with the way he ended his career until Manny Pacquiao decided to desecrate the sport with his antics. He decided to return to boxing in hopes of finally putting an end to it and reestablish himself as the true no.1 pound for pound fighter in the world.

In order for him to do that, he needs to beat Juan Manuel Marquez first. The winner will end up with a fight against Manny Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel MarquezUnfortunately, with the rib injury to Mayweather, that opportunity would first have to wait and understandably, the pound for pound king ain’t happy.

‘’I am extremely disappointed that this fight has to be postponed,'’ Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KOs) said in a statement. ‘’I was training very hard and looking forward to getting back in the ring.'’

According to Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, Mayweather tried to work through the injury but just couldn’t because of the pain.

‘’It was very painful,'’ Schaefer said. ‘’I don’t know the extent…'’

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has Juan Manuel Marquez first

By: J.J. Jack

Before he beats the crap out of Manny Pacquiao.

Six-time world champion in five weight divisions, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has returned to boxing, hoping to be the guy who’ll save boxing from the mediocrity Manny Pacquiao has enslaved the sport with.

Although he had a long hiatus from the squared circle, Floyd Mayweather is confident in putting his undefeated record on the line when he faces the dangerous and highly touted five-time world champion in three divisions, Juan Manuel Marquez.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.This Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Juan Manuel Marquez fight, dubbed as ‘’Number One/Numero Uno'’ is scheduled on July 18 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The summer showdown between Mayweather (39-0, 25 KO’s) and Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s) will be promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions in association with Marquez Promotions.

Kimbo Slice to Enter Boxing and Kill Manny Pacquiao

By: J.J. Jack

As much as I would love to see that, Kimbo won’t be having that opportunity… YET.

Unless of course, Manny Pacquiao decides he has what it takes to go toe to toe with the heavyweights. And while Kimbo Slice hasn’t really made his transition from MMA to boxing official, when he does, Pacquiao better watch out.

In case you didn’t know, Internet sensation Kimbo Slice has been contemplating on making the move from mixed martial arts to boxing after failing to come up with a deal with Strikeforce, the group who obtained an option to purchase his contract from Pro Elite.

Kimbo SliceAccording to Slice’s manager Mike Imber, Strikeforce wanted his client to fight for less money.

‘’They wanted us to fight for less,'’ Mike Imber said. ‘’I wouldn’t say dramatically [less], but there were just a lot of moving parts in the contract. Once you start moving one, they all kind of got moved around. It just didn’t work out, I guess.'’

Kimbo Slice, whose real name is Kevin Ferguson, was released on May 13. Since then, he and his people have been weighing their options on what to do next. That probably includes a stint with the WWE.

‘’I can’t give you any updates right now, but when I do you’re going to be very impressed and shocked,'’ Imber said. ‘’I can tell you his MMA career is far from over. We have a bunch of other options, Japan and others. Now that we’re…'’

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Returns to Boxing still The Best

By: J.J. Jack

And NO, Manny Pacquiao can’t be considered the best pound for pound fighter in the world yet until he beats this guy.

While Manny ‘’The Pacman'’ Pacquiao is probably still relishing over his shocking defeat of Ricky Hatton, (trust me, this guy and his supporters won’t get over it for months…) Floyd Mayweather Jr. just announced his return to boxing, making it crystal clear who truly is the best pound for pound fighter in the world today. (HINT: That guy doesn’t eat an aborted duck fetus for breakfast…)

Yep, you read it, Floyd Mayweather Jr. finally came back from retirement looking to reclaim what he says is rightfully his. Of course, he heard about that fool who has been claiming that he now is the best pound for pound fighter in the world. He’s coming back to shut that guy up and his first step is a date with Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.Floyd Mayweather Jr. will face-off with Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18 in Las Vegas for the right to fight the mustached-retard, Manny Pacquiao, afterwards. Mayweather’s adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, already confirmed the Mayweather - Marquez bout this July.

Ellerbe believes Mayweather Jr. is still the best pound for pound fighter in the world and just like yours truly, he’s obviously not impressed with what Pacquiao has accomplished so far.

‘’He left the sport as the best fighter in the world, he comes back as the best fighter in the world…'’

Why Ricky Hatton can KO and destroy Manny Pacquiao

By: J.J. Jack

October 6, 1978. That was the day when the one who may finally save boxing from Manny Pacquiao was born.

And since I happen to celebrate my birthday on the 6th of October as well, I have this feeling that this Manny Pacquiao - Ricky Hatton fight this Saturday will end up with me and Hatton celebrating as if it’s our birthday already.

I know, I know, I’ve already mistook a lot of boxers in the past as THE one who will finally save us from Manny ‘’The Pacman'’ Pacquiao and his stupid mustache. Morales, Marquez, Diaz and De La Hoya all failed.

Manny PacquiaoHowever, while all of those guys fought Pacquiao at that time of their respective careers when retirement was on the horizon, Ricky ‘’The Hitman'’ Hatton is still far from calling it quits. He’s still in his prime and unlike the dehydrated Oscar De La Hoya we saw Manny Pacquiao obliterated, Hatton is a whole different animal.

Ricky Hatton is a young, relentless fighter just like this third world retard from General Santos. They fight the same way too, the only difference with their fighting styles is the fact that while Hatton can switch his technical skills on, Pacquiao doesn’t have anything to offer but to fight like a deranged cannibal.

Another difference would have to be their size. Obviously…

Can an Aborted Duck Fetus Save Pacquiao from Hatton?

By: J.J. Jack

Um… NO.

In case you have no idea how close we are to this huge Manny Pacquiao - Ricky Hatton fight, the event dubbed as ‘’The Battle of East and West'’ is on this Saturday and if you haven’t made your bets yet, I suggest you make some now.

Yep, Ricky ‘’The Hitman'’ Hatton will be at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada where he tries to finally save boxing from Manny Pacquiao and third world retardation. Hatton, unlike the other fighters Pacquiao faced before, is someone who is still in his prime. He is a technical fighter who can also brawl with Pacquiao if the fight suggests it.

Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky HattonHatton is, by no means, a dehydrated Oscar De La Hoya and it will take Pacquiao more than an aborted duck fetus to keep up with this guy. Third world retardation has gone long enough in the sport of boxing and it’s about time that somebody puts an end to it.

Yes, boxing, thanks to Manny ‘’The Pacman'’ Pacquiao, has become retarded since he took the sport from its scientific and technical roots and turned it into a circus. You see, during the days of a young Mike Tyson or even an older Lennox Lewis, boxing was all about finding out who truly is the best in the business. Unfortunately for the sport, Pacquiao and his people are turning it into a fuck-fest where they just look for past world champions, wait for them to turn 40 and pit ‘em up against the Pacman just so the third world moron can mug the guy without resembling any semblance of scientific boxing.

It’s irritating. And what’s even worse is the fact that…

Manny Pacquiao will die when he fights Ricky Hatton

By: J.J. Jack

That is of course, not meant literally.

For all ya’ll wondering, we’ll be having the Manny Pacquiao - Ricky Hatton fight on May 2, dubbed as ‘’The Battle of East and West.'’ And as always, I’m hoping that Hatton would be the one who’ll finally KILL Pacquiao’s career inside the ring.

If there was ever a bad match-up for Pacquiao, a fight against Ricky ‘’the Hitman'’ Hatton would have to be it. While probably the slower puncher than the lightning fast retard, (yes, he’s fast. I give him that…) Hatton is much, much tougher, in estimation.

Manny PacquiaoHatton attacks and will be more than happy to brawl with anyone. And while I had my problems with the way Manny ‘’the Pacman'’ Pacquiao throws scientific boxing out the window, I won’t have any problems at all watching Ricky disregard his technical skills to go toe to toe with Manny as long as he gets the job done and fuck that third world motherfucker up for good.

Besides, Hatton tends to wrestle his opponents on the inside and when…
