Usually volatile promoter Lou DiBella sees no news value in Oscar de la Hoya's public proclamation that Golden Boy must rule boxing to the exclusion of competitors.

This past Monday, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum was keen on talking up his Antonio Margarito-Manny Pacquiao bout at Cowboys Stadium on November 13. Last Friday Pacquiao went to a hospital to address a possible injury to his left foot. Arum says Pacquiao's left foot is nothing to worry about. Training camp reports are being sent to Arum on a daily basis from the Philippines. Arum was informed that Pacquiao is punching so hard that he dropped his hall of fame trainer, Freddie Roach, three times during their recent training session.

You go ahead if you feel like playing dirty but I refuse to kick Sugar Shane Mosley after Sergio "I Admire Him So Much I Held Back" Mora dragged him down.

It came as news, unwelcome news, to Big Gary Shaw that he and any other boxing promoter not named Golden Boy is obsolete in the current market.

Paul Williams, in his 11th year in the professional boxing ring, is widely acknowledged as the world's third best fighter, pound for pound.

Top Rank has reached deep into its boxing bullpen for an opponent for former world middleweight champion Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik in catch-weight (164 pounds) fight underneath the Antonio Margarito-Manny Pacquiao main event Nov. 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Who let the dog out? That's not the question when it comes to the shattered professional boxing career of crowdpleaser Alfredo "Perro" Angulo.
