I am surprised that no one has started this thread yet.

I know this is an MMA website but I bet that there are some Boxing Fans out there.

I just love the sport of fighting in general and I have been raised by boxing.

So in this Thread we can discuss the "Sweet Science"

such as
Past Fights
Upcoming Events
Favorite Fighters
and Historical Figures in the Sport


Because like MMA in the US, Boxing started out illegal. But where it took MMA less than 25 years to gain the General populations approval, It took boxing over 100 years.

Discuss and have fun.

TONIGHT is one of the biggest events for boxing that will actually have some action.
On PPV, Miguel Cotto vs Saul "Canelo" Alverez for the Lineal Middleweight Championship of the world.

Who do you got? How will the fight go?

Ups for Canelo






Downs for Cotto

This is a fight over who can stop ducking the GOAT after tonight (the loser will most likely either be left alone or will "suddenly" want to fight him, the winner will keep ducking).

Not really @Yoss
The commissions have stated that the winner of this fight MUST fight GGG. If not then their titles will be stripped.

So it is either the next greatest fight will happen after this or it will be proven that they are for sure ducking because the titles will be stripped.

Cotto already relinquished his belt over "Financial" issues and Canelo is already talking about how He isn't quite ready to be a Middleweight yet and that GGG will have to fight him at 155lbs. There's a good chance the winner ducks him again and he fights either Lara, Froch or the winner of the Andy Lee title bout.

Hard to argue with that lately.

Ok. I found a secure place to do a round by round analysis of the MAIN EVENT.
If anyone else wants to tag along go for it. Banter is great.
