OtG Rankings | Sun. Nov. 21, 2010
ONTHEGRiND BOXiNG's pound4pound and middleweight decks have been shuffled as a result of the shocking end to Saturday night's Sergio Martinez vs. Paul Williams rematch. The crushing knockout punch delivered by Martinez in the second round catapulted him to the coveted pound4pound number two position. Previous number two, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has fought once per year since returning to the sport (from a two-year retirement), with victories over a two weight classes from home Juan Manuel Marquez and a USADA-approved Sugar-free Shane Mosley. Mayweather, who has told interviewers he is, "Not thinking about boxing right now," drops to number three. Williams, a fighter who has literally defined poundforpound since defeating Antonio Margarito for WBO World Welterweight Championship three years ago, holds onto the poundforpound #10 spot.
Friday, November 19, 2010 at 06:28PM Paterson: "Blond Boxers Would Test Hopkins." >>>
by Greg Paterson | Fri. Nov. 19, 2010
In light of Bernard Hopkins' recent observation that Manny Pacquiao has never fought a top black fighter, it's been suggested Hopkins has never fought a top-notch blond-haired fighter. Hopkins stated, "Floyd Mayweather would beat Manny Pacquiao because the styles that African-American fighters -- and I mean, black fighters from the streets or the inner cities -- would be successful" However, Hopkins himself has first-hand experience in not facing a certain group of fighters, mainly those with blond hair.

Following Antonio Margarito's one-sided destruction at the lightning fast hands of Manny Pacquiao, it would seem there was a void to be filled in boxing. Margarito, universally branded the "dirtiest player in the game," may or may not have paid his penance - but he was punished either way. When Margarito's name came up until recently, thoughts of the "wrap-gate" scandal would rush to the front of a fan's mind. Now those thoughts are likely replaced by images of the "Tijuana Tornado's" wounded and swollen face. Did Manny Pacquiao win the war for fans against alleged cheaters, or simply a battle? Is the boxing ring now a safer place? Can fighters now compete without expecting treachery from the opposing corner? Did boxing's cowboy with the white hat, Pacquiao rid all rings of evil in Dallas last week?
Monday, July 12, 2010 at 05:22AM OtG By The Numbers: Pacquiao's Possibilities >>>
by Suge Green | Mon. July 12, 2010
With Top Rank Promotions fairly quiet and both Golden Boy Promotions and Team Mayweather completely silent, many are wondering if Manny Pacquiao succeeded in calling the bluff of Floyd Mayweather Jr. In 2009 Mayweather demanded Pacquiao call him out. Mayweather made it clear all Pacquiao had to do was say his name, and he would make a fight with him without hesitation. It's also been stated by Mayweather, if Pacquiao agrees to his drug-testing demands there will be a fight.

As boxing fans continue to clamour for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. super-fight to establish the sport's undisputed pound-for-pound as well as welterweight ruler, a summary of the ongoing drug-testing stalemate is in order. Pacquiao thus far has refused to buckle to Mayweather's demands which would subject him to the "Olympic style" drug-testing program of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
