Alvarez needs a test. And I don't think Mosley is going to give him one. Good fighter no doubt, but I'm not convinced by him.

Alvarez on points, Floyd TKO 10

I don't disagree with anything you say, but there are small advantages for having them. Like Malignaggi for example, winning that title will bring him bigger fights and at least one more decent pay day.

The WBC need to fuck off. I think world titles are worthless to the extent that winning one doesn't actually mean you're the best fighter in the division, but the belts do create fights and they give fighters bigger pay days and more opportunities.

I'm the same except I have Khan winning. I'm rooting for Peterson though.

May is a decent month for boxing. Floyd v Cotto this weekend Khan v Peterson on the 19th Froch v Bute on the 26th

Awful fight, but no less than I expected. Even a prime Hopkins would have struggled with the style of Chad Dawson. See Dawson called out Andre Ward after the fight. Stylistically, that is an incredibly horrible fight, and I would back Ward to win. Don't see how one judge had it even, probably sympathetic towards Hopkins. Right man won in the end though and that's what matters in the end.

Billy Joe-Saunders wins by TKO in round 1. I think he'd beat the current Euro Champ Kerry Hope who I thought lost to Proksa. Hopkins-Dawson tonight. Going for Dawson to win on points.

I really like Mikey Garcia. I know P4P lists are mythical things but I think in a few years time Garcia will be one of the top fighters in the sport.

Higgins has been terrible. Hendry leads 11-4.

Mares v Donaire would be a fun fight. More likely we'll get Moreno v Mares, but I don't have a problem with that fight.

Thought the Crolla-Matthews was good, stoppage was probably a bit premature but it would have been stopped on that cut anyway IMO. Was a must win fight for Derry and he delivered. Was good to see he was defensively a bit better on the inside than he was in his last fight. Marsili couldn't miss with his uppercut on the inside when they fought. Anselmo Moreno is quality. A fight between him and Mares would be excellent, even better would be Moreno v Donaire - elite defence vs elite offence. Unlikely to happen though because of GBP and Top Rank. I think Moreno v Mares will happen end of this year start of next. Not comparing them as fighters, but when I watch Moreno I can't help but think of Pernell Whitaker.

Maybe just me but I don't rate John Murray.

Derry Matthews beat Crolla with a 6th round TKO. Big upset. DeGale won by 4th round TKO over Cristian Sanavia.

I think the card is still going ahead, with Billy Joe-Saunders main eventing. To be honest I'd probably rather watch him than watch Cleverly spar with someone again for 12 rounds.

Groves out of his fight against Steiglitz with an injury. Cleverly out of his title defence on April 28th with a virus.

Deontay Wilder is the definition of protected. I'd like to see Fury in with Price though or a rematch with Chisora.

I like Sturm to be honest but I think I might be in the minority lol. I don't think he will see much reasons to fight out of Germany, he's a sell out. Marquez came in at 140. Hopefully if both Rios and Marquez win they can fight each other in the summer.

Jim Delahunt is a wanker

Felix Sturm won last night, Zbik retired in his corner at the end of 9th. Strong performance from Sturm, pretty much one the fight with one arm, using his jab and left hook. Katsidis lost a majority decision against Albert Mensah in his first fight at 140. Katsidis must seriously consider retiring imo. Rios fails to make a weight again for his fight against Richard Abril, came in at 137, weighed in a second time 139. He has to move up to 140, can't keep punishing himself when he quite clearly can't make lightweight.

Just now La Liga is leading the way. I think most of it comes down to personal preferences though. I prefer watching the Bundesliga out of EPL, La Liga and Serie A but that doesn't mean it is the best league in the world.

Doesn't look comfortable on the right but it's early days in his Rangers career.

I actually think that this time around it's Arum who doesn't want this fight to happen. Excuses about the MGM not being big enough and wanting to build a new stadium etc. Make no mistake about it though, Floyd has shifted the goal posts several times in the past, more so than Top Rank, to prevent it from happening. However the chances of Floyd and Arum working together are very slim. If the fight happens, it happens. And Floyd will win comfortably IMO. In terms of entertainment though I very much doubt this fight will live up the expectation. In terms of money it will probably be the biggest. However frustrating it is that they won't fight, boxing shouldn't revolve around a potential fight between these two.
