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.

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.

Boxing analyst Antonio Tarver believes superstar Canelo Alvarez has earned his spot to call the shots based on his many achievements during his successful career. Tarver feels that undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo (61-2-2, 39 KOs) can pick his opponents, and he doesn’t have to bend to the fans’ wishes to face David Benavidez.

Does Kim Kardashian have her eyes set on Odell Beckham Jr. for the wrong reasons? Though the pair's romance fizzled, a source claimed the reality star, 43, is interested in potentially rekindling things. “She sees an opportunity,” dished a source. “Specifically, Kim wants the over-thetop fame that dating an NFL player has brought Taylor Swift!”“It’d be a win-win for Kim.

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.

Andy Ruiz Jr. would welcome a fight with David Benavidez should he ever move up to heavyweight. Benavidez, 29-0 (24 KOs), has been calling for a fight with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez for what seems like an eternity but is yet to secure an encounter with the Mexican great. Benavidez recently moved up to light-heavyweight to face Oleksandr Gvozdyk but with him currently pondering whether to stay or move back down to super middleweight, a jump to heavyweight would appear preposterous.
