Last week was a terrific week for the sport of boxing, punctuated by the appearance of a couple of high profile current marquee names and the return of a few popular names from years gone by. \u201cTimothy Bradley \u2013 Does He Fit into the Mix at 147\u201d addresses the most recent ring appearance of the now 26-0 \u201cDesert Storm\u201d, asking whether he can be a legitimate presence in the welterweight division and more importantly, does he merit consideration as a future challenger to either Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather JR. Hitting our stride with the recent revitalized level of activity in the sport, \u201cTua Floored in Draw with Barrett\u201d is a discussion that focuses in on the curious outcome of New Zealand\u2019s favorite fighter, a warrior many fans seem to feel will yet one day win a world title, wondering aloud if he has much left at all in light of his less than impressive showing against the shell of a man long ago relegated to trial horse status.<\/p>\n

Keeping abreast of the current deluge of rumors pertaining to matchmaking, we have served-up two discussions that on paper seem ludicrous but otherwise just might pan out as sheer fun if realized in the ring. \u201cPavlik-Chavez JR\u201d by Goldenstatefan provides insight in the next possible opponent for the former WBC\/WBO middleweight champion while underlining the matter as a curious choice, especially for the as of yet undefeated Mexican upstart, a marketable fighter generally perceived to be far too green for a challenge of this nature at this point in time. Taking it a step further with the rumor mill, \u201cPossible Match-Up: Shannon Briggs vs. Vitali Klitschko\u201d looks at the possibility of the former WBC and linear heavyweight king, one of the world\u2019s hardest-punching heavyweights, challenging the reigning WBC titlist in a bout that suggests excitement, highlight reel-worthy abbreviation and drama. It\u2019s all here and its waiting for your input and it can all be found in our Boxing Discussions forum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
