Floyd Mayweather’s most formidable opponent needed to be saved from himself as the self-professed ‘Best Ever’ worked him over in their 2000 fight. On October 21, Mayweather faced Emanuel Augustus at Cobo Hall in Detroit between WBC super featherweight title defenses against Gregorio Vargas and Diego Corrales. ‘The Drunken Master’ would be ideal preparation for what was expected to be a hard slog against Corrales three months later.

Lightweight Keyshawn Davis is criticizing Raymond Muratalla's recent victory over Tevin Farmer. Muratalla won via unanimous decision Saturday at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, but he struggled to stamp his authority on the bout during the opening five rounds.

Coach Bobby Benton is still grappling with the aftermath of a controversial split decision that stripped his fighter O’Shaquie Foster of his junior lightweight WBC title. Foster, 30, known as “Shock,” appeared to many observers, including ESPN analysts and BoxingScene, to have won a points decision against Robson Conceicao, 35, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. However, he left the ring without his belt.

All it took was one night for Devin Haney’s career to be turned upside down. Heading into his April 20 showdown versus Ryan Garcia, Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) was rated among the world’s best – an undefeated former undisputed lightweight champion who was making the first defense of his WBC 140-pound strap.

What’s next for Devin Haney?

Terence Crawford is training for speed in preparing for his title challenge to WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov on August 3rd. Hand speed might not be enough for Crawford to win against the younger, bigger, stronger Madrimov. Most agree that Crawford cannot win if he stands and fights this young GGG, Madrimov. He’s not young enough or built to stand in the trenches and slingshots back and forth with a puncher like Madrimov.

So what if he showed some defensive vulnerability? That may just be the Philly toughness that resides within Jaron “Boots” Ennis. The greatest takeaway from Ennis’ first IBF welterweight title defense, a fifth-round stoppage of Russia’s David Avanesyan on Saturday night, is what a pure talent he is.

It’s been a while since Deontay Wilder has looked like that powerful, explosive athlete who took the heavyweight division by storm. He was never quite reliant on raw skills, but with the sort of power that can knock over a building, all Wilder needed was a split second to turn out the lights of his opponent. Nowadays, however, the success he once enjoyed has come few and far between.
