I'm still skeptical until they step into the ring.

Blah. Just make the freaking fight already. To be fair, I think Manny has more interesting opponents than Floyd for May 2015, but none will be as rad as a giant super fight between the two.

Doubt it. What will change that didn't before? Bob is still with Pac.

Bob Arum is a salty old fuck. I don't believe for a second he will ever help Floyd make $50 million.

Yeah it's funny, but it's also kind of scary. I don't really want to see the dude get hurt.
This. Arum knows it'll hurt Floyd's legacy if he doesn't fight Manny. Him not letting the fight happen is Arum's giant fuck you to Floyd.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that there wasn't any drug testing before or after the fight.
I believe it was actually an exhibition and not a sanctioned fight. It was for sure fixed.Was rigged for sure

I had it 7-5 Saunders but there were 3/4 rounds that could've gone either way.

who do you think he should fight first at 140?
Will he have any trouble fighting Al Haymon's fighters?
I'd like to see him whip Adrien Broner. Like that fight will happen. >.>

Word! I think he would embarrass Broner. He reminds me of a mix of Hagler and Hearns; that switch hitting is a motherfucker.

Crawford looked awesome. They have a nice thing going there too, selling out his hometown place...could be a way to get a better fighter in the ring of there's $$$ on the table from the live gate.
Fury looked ok, Wlad destroys him obviously. Let's stop trying to make Chisora a thing, ok?

Looks like Kovalev vs Pascal for 14th March has been made, which is a pretty good fight.
Excellent fight.
It is quite amazing that Kovalev has found himself in the driver's seat of the 175 division after all of the horseplay that occurred earlier this year.
If/when he every fights Stevenson he will be the one dictating the terms.

Kovalev is fighting the best fighters in the division and Stevenson is....um....well....
Looks like he needs new management

Canelo "stealing" Floyds date in May with a big fight, maybe it's time for Pacquio/Mayweather as counter programming?
I'm really looking forward to this one. It's a shame that it didn't happen last year like it was supposed to. That said, this extra year has probably allowed Khan to better acclimate to 147. And it's given him more time to work with Virgil Hunter.
Khan looked good against Collazo and has improved with Virgil, but I'm still riding with Devon on this one. I know if Khan keeps it close they'll give him a decision so Devon's gotta be on his A game.
IMO Khan looked sensational in the Collazo fight. He showed control and stayed within himself; the element of his game that he most needed to work on. It's a shame that he hasn't been back in the ring since then.
That said, Khan is only one fight removed from his abysmal performance against Julio Diaz and three fights removed from his unnecessary TKO loss to Danny Garcia. And Devon Alexander is a class fighter. I could see this going either way.
Not really topical, but here is a highlight clip of Lomachenko from his last fight:

I can't wait to see more of this guy.
