April 10, 2020April 10, 2020 by James Slater | Leave a comment

Carl Froch, Joe Calzaghe - Perhaps Carl Froch is, like many of us, bored due to the ongoing coronavirus lock down. Maybe Froch is just bored in general. For whatever reason or reasons, “The Cobra” has called out Joe Calzaghe. 42 year old Froch recenty told us all he would have beaten up Gennady Golovkin had he accepted the catch-weight fight when it was offered to him a few years back, and now – once again speaking on his podcast: Froch On Fighting - Froch tells us all he would “iron out” Calzaghe should he and the 48 year old get it on this year.

April 10, 2020 by James Slater | Leave a comment

Thomas Hearns - But the king many of these fans were so thrilled to be seeing, for the first time at pro level in the UK, was the one and only Thomas Hearns – one of “The Four Kings” who so lit up the sport in the 1980s: Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler and Roberto Duran (the only other member of this exquisite quartet to still be fighting here in 1999).

British boxing fans were so excited. It was going to be great: a sold-out, rocking MEN Arena in the heart of Manchester, packed to the … Read more

Canelo’s Trainer Eddy Reynoso Has No Doubt: Canelo WILL KO Golovkin In Third Fight

April 9, 2020April 9, 2020 by James Slater | Leave a comment

Canelo Alvarez, Gennadiy Golovkin - Golovkin still has a fine chin yet he took plenty of punishment in his last fight, a tough points win over Sergiy Derevyanchenko in October. How much has Golovkin got left? At 40-1-1, and with all those amateur fights, it does seem highly likely we have seen the best of Triple-G; whereas Canelo may still be getting better.

Will we see a third and final fight between middleweight rivals Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez this year (Triple-G’s name goes first because, as we … Read more

25 Years Ago: When Old Man Larry Holmes Almost Edged Oliver McCall To Regain The WBC Title

April 8, 2020April 8, 2020 by James Slater | Leave a comment

Larry Holmes, Oliver McCall - It was a darn good thing for Oliver McCall he wasn't fighting the Larry Holmes who defeated Ken Norton to win the WBC heavyweight championship. That version of Holmes, the 1978 version; the peak version of “The Easton Assassin,” had long since gone by the time ol' Larry challenged McCall in an effort at regaining the crown he had won in that superb battle.

30 Years Ago – When Donovan Ruddock Detonated His “Smash” On Michael Dokes

April 8, 2020April 8, 2020 by James Slater | Leave a comment

Donovan Ruddock, Michael Dokes - For some, the scary and brutal KO Donovan “Razor” Ruddock scored over Michael Dokes some 30 years ago this week (April 4, 1990) ranks as THE most destructive they have ever seen. In recent times, only Ray Mercer's nasty annihilation of Tommy Morrison rivals it for most bloodcurdling heavyweight knockout.

The “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda” Chronicles—Ike Ibeabuchi (Heavyweights Vol. II)

April 7, 2020April 7, 2020 by Jeff Meyers | Leave a comment

Ike Ibeabuchi - Ikemefula Charles “Ike” Ibeabuchi (pronounced “Ee-bay-uh-boo-chee”) Ikemefula was born in 1973 in Isouchi, Nigeria, and competed from 1994 to 1999 in the heavyweight division where he finished with a perfect (20-0-0, 15 KOs) record. If there was any heavyweight with the skill and power to become the dominant heavyweight in his era, it was Ibeabuchi—had he possessed the concomitant mental strength to fulfill that promise.
