Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KOs) vs Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KOs) is as legit a heavyweight title fight that you will get today. In Klitschko, you have a widely-respected champion facing an undefeated American prospect in Johnson. The problem is that this ain’t your parent’s heavyweights (from the 1970s or 1990s).

I will not hide the disappointment that I felt when the middleweight title fight between reigning champion Kelly Pavlik (35-1, 31 KOs) and Paul the Punisher Williams (37-1, 27 KOs) was cancelled.

The most-commonly cited factors of home advantage are usually ones whose advantageous effects are difficult to measure and thus even their existence is debated. Most of these are psychological in nature, such as familiarity with the playing grounds, the ability for participants to [...]

This has blowout written all over it. Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) has split his last two big fights. His blood-letting at the mischievous hands of Antonio Margarito took a heavy toll. His narrow, bloody win against Joshua Clottey seemed to confirm suspicions that the Margarito fight had permanently tainted him.
Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 [...]
