"Sugar" Shane Mosley stopped for first time ever in a 20 year boxing career !

Anthony Mundine vs. Shane Mosley was an unpleasant viewing experience would be a drastic understatement. In what has become an unfortunate and dumb tradition in Australia, another ancient shop worn (American boxing star) was carried over to fight a local Australian hero. Mundine 38, did not really beat Shane Mosley; he beat his ghost—some kind of hologram projection that resembled Mosley only in appearance but not in ability because the "Sugar train" we know would have out boxed him easily.
At 42, Shane Mosley was stopped for the first time in his 20-year pro career when his back gave out in Sydney, Australia, giving Anthony Mundine a win after six rounds of action.First time in Mosley’s career that the words “L-TKO” will appear on his record. If this was the end, then hats off to Shane Mosley for a phenomenal career.

Sports Illustrated will announce its choice for 2013's Sportsman of the Year on Dec 16th & Floyd Mayweather Jr is a current nomination.

Sports Illustrated will announce its choice for 2013's Sportsman of the Year on Dec. 16. Here's one of the nominations for that honor by a former Sportsman recipient. Achievement in boxing has always been built on a combination of hard work, belief in oneself, intestinal fortitude and that special something that's very hard to describe in just one word. Very few athletes are able to reach a level of unprecedented and sustained success.
But excelling in a sport (competing in must-see events, breaking records, remaining undefeated) can sometimes promote a less enthusiastic approach to the day-to-day maintenance. Athletes may rest on their laurels and find it hard to stay focused and, as a result, even that "Eye of the Tiger" drive becomes difficult to maintain. But there is one fighter, one champion, who has shown the world that he is something different, something special, something great in that roped square. Who comes to mind when pondering which athlete should be this year's Sportsman of the Year? None other than Floyd Mayweather, Jr- "Sports Illustrated

Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios full post fight press conference video full HD

"Pacquiao was impressive, but Brent Brookhouse wrote he still wasn't "vintage Manny:" Scott Christ of Bad Left Hook said " Pacquiao proved speed and skill will always beat determination and toughness at the highest levels of boxing. Even if he's not quite as good as before, Christ wrote Pacquiao is still one of the best"

Tim Bradley wants Mayweather next ! Give me the fight GoldenBoy.

welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) is targeting unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. for his next fight, and he says he’s going to talk to his promoter Bob Arum to see if he can arrange the fight against Floyd. Bradley defeated Juan Manuel Marquez last Saturday night by a 12 round split decision, but instead of that satisfying Bradley, it’s made him hungrier for bigger names and the No.1 name he wants now is Mayweather.Bradley’s chances of getting the Mayweather fight will come down to whether Arum can somehow work a deal to make the fight happen with Top Rank’s rival Golden Boy Promotions.
Even if the fight could be put together, Bradley’s chances of winning would be nonexistent. Mayweather is so far ahead of Bradley in terms of talent that it would be more one-sided than Mayweather’s recent victories over Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. At least those guys had something that could potentially give Mayweather problems in terms of power-HBOs clark Kellogg
