Flashback:1966 Muhammad Ali vs Cleveland Williams

People always talk about how Ali was like poetry in the ring, and to a lot of people, that statement might not have much meaning considering Boxing and Poetry are two completely different types of activities; one being a sport in which you attempt to inflict as much damage to your opponent without being victim to any yourself, and the other, a linguistic art form and expression. However, certain similarities can be drawn from the two, and in this fight, Ali brings meaning to the phrase "poetry in motion." While I may not be able to find the words to describe what I am trying to say, I'm sure watching this video will allow you to understand...enjoy

(the last round is one of my favorite finishes ever)

Paquiao vs Cotto is on!!!

The Biggest fight of the year is finally set in stone for Nov 14th. After Pacquiao's 2nd round KO of Ricky Hatton earlier this year, everyone in the Boxing world set their eyes on Manny as their next target. What ultimately made this fight happen is the massive fan base of Puertorican Miguel Cotto; just like Pacquiao, Cotto is a national hero in his native country, and when two fighers of this magnitutde collide, it is sure to generate extrodinary PPV buys. Pacquiao is looking to add to his legacy in winning 7 lineal titles in 7 weight divisions, a feat that has never been achieved in the sport, while Cotto is still out to prove everyone else wrong as Pac is a 2 to 1 betting favorite.

Arturo "Thunder" Gatti ... RIP

"The Ultimate Blood and Guts Warrior"

(April 15, 1972 - July 11, 2009)

Arturo Gatti was one of the reasons I was originally drawn to the sport of Boxing. He wasn't the best fighter to ever live; far from it actually. What made him special was his ability to "leave it all in the ring" as some would say, often driven by pure determination, his come from behind victories captivated the imagination of fight fans, regardless if you were rooting for, or against him, by the end of the fight, you were fan. He has been apart of 4 "fights of the year" awards (1997-98, 2002-03). Known for his thunderous left hook and his willingness to take a punch, Gatti has earned the title as "the ultimate blood and guts warrior," he has given so much to the sport, and the trilogy between himself and "Irish" Mickey Ward (pictured above) is one of the greatest that Boxing will ever see.

Today he was found dead in the condo that he and his wife were renting in Brazil.
