Still no official word on who, or where Manny Pacquiao will fight next

Things seem to have gone pretty quiet regarding superstar Manny Pacquiao’s next fight. First it was Australia’s Jeff Horn in Australia in April, then it was British star Amir Khan in the UAE in May, and now…….nothing.

As Top Rank boss Bob Arum explained a few days back, the money failed to appear for the Khan fight to go ahead, much as he expected all along, and the search began anew for Pac-Man’s next opponent. But it seems the Khan fight is not quite dead in the water yet. Arum has now said that, “Hopefully that fight [Pacquiao-Khan] can happen in November.”

Mikey Garcia aiming big for his next fight, says he'd fight Keith Thurman in July

Due to the explosive and wholly impressive way he dealt with his last opponent, fight fans are eager to see Mikey Garcia’s next fight.

The unbeaten, now three-weight champ is aiming big for his next few fights and, in speaking with FightHype, Garcia called out recently crowned WBC/WBA welterweight champ Keith Thurman. Garcia said he would jump up to 147 for a fight with Thurman as soon as this coming July.

Tom Loeffler on Golovkin: If there's an opportunity for him to fight in June, he will

Tom Loeffler, promoter of middleweight king Gennady Golovkin, is as anxious as his fighter is to have a more active 2017 compared to last year. Frustratingly, for GGG himself and the fans, Golovkin boxed just twice in 2016, seeing less than seven rounds of action.

This year, with his defence against Danny Jacobs first, this Saturday, GGG aims to be a whole lot more active, with three fights being the goal. Loeffler, as quoted by RingTV.com, told the media that if there is an opportunity for Triple-G to fight in June, he will indeed do so. There is talk that GGG may fight reigning WBO middleweight champ Billy Joe Saunders in his home country of Kazakhstan in June.

Golovkin - Jacobs: Can GGG keep the middleweight brutality going, or will Jacobs turn the tables?

Unlike this past Saturday’s non-title middleweight clash between punchers David Lemieux and Curtis Stevens, this coming Saturday’s showdown between 160 pound sharpshooters Gennady Golovkin and Danny Jacobs is not an even, 50/50, pick ’em fight.

Lemieux proved to be way too good and powerful for Stevens, scoring an epic KO of The Year candidate, now, fans are wondering if GGG can top his former victim’s display of punching prowess by taking out Jacobs in even more stunning fashion in their world title match. Then again, there are those fans who feel Jacobs, himself an effective hitman, might be the man who winds up scoring the highlight reel KO in New York.

CARLOS CUADRAS: I am very well trained and I am excited for this fight. My goal is to come out and win against Carmona on March 18

When you fought Chocolatito, did you feel as if you were fighting for the smaller weight classes?

CARLOS CUADRAS: We are obviously fighting for higher purses and we are representing the lighter weight classes. We are going to give a show and demonstrate our high quality action. But we do realize when we fight inside that ring that we can provide action and put on a show as good as if not better than the higher weight classes and that will lead to more lucrative purses and higher paydays down the line.
