Fellow boxing fans I have to say that the noble art has taken a fall and is doomed to become another . com sport, where the humble boxing enthusiast has to trawl through busy websites and blogs to seek scraps of information on the latest fights. Carl Froch and David Haye are flying the flag for British boxing and our media dont even care. For fuck sake, Carl Froch had to cross the pond to defend his WBC Super Middleweight title against a dangerous Jermain Tayler, due to lack of interest from British TV companies. I remember the good ol days when Lloyd Honeyghan entered the ring in trainers, a random guy flying into Caesars Palace on a parachute and landing on Riddick Bow's pregnant wife, disrupting Bow's title defence against Evander Holyfield, epic battles with Benn, Eubank, Watson, the Hitman Hearns knocking Dennis Andries down about 50,000 times, Bruno desprately trying to look good against an ageing Bugner, only to get smashed by an ageing Bonecrusher and lets not forg...

Well, Floyd Mayweather Jr's comeback fight against Juan Marquez did not disappoint. Ive been keeping a close eye on Mayweather since he totally smashed our boy Ricky Hatton back in 2007. It was obvious from round 1 that poor old Marquez was in for a troubled night and not one he will want to remember. I even caught a glimpse of compassion from Mayweather as he toyed with the first-rate Mexican hero in the later rounds, having floored him in round 2. So, Mayweather still reins supreme throughout the super Welterweight division and Welterweight division with a record of 40 wins 0 losses 25 Ko's. Who's next? Manny? Mosley? Please dont say Khan. I know styles make fights. It's like when Frazier beat up Ali, then Foreman demolished Frazier, then Ali comes outta retirement to rope-a-dope Foreman ! So, you never can truly rule anyone out. It's gonna be interesting, but in my opinion Floyd Money Mayweather is just too damn good, even when bringing his (B) game.
