Once-ever athlete and face of the sport Anthony Joshua had just wrapped up an appearance on Conan O’Brien. A foreign fighter has come into his opponents back yard and dominated the airwaves as he will in the ring. Thoughts?

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/6141632/james-degale-hair-transplant-british-hair-clinic/ Could this help him to roll back the years in the ring too?

After watching Anthony dismantle your last great hope, it is very clear that the USA has pretty much nothing left to offer. Deonte? Easy work. Who could possibly challenge the British empires dominance?

The UK paper the star is reporting that Danny Garcia is willing to travel across the pond for a summer blockbuster with Kell Brook if Eddie Hearn can cough up 5 million dollars. Will Eddie Hearn put his money where his mouth is? I for one highly doubt it. Source: http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/boxing/kell-brook-rival-demands-5m-for-sheffield-clash-1-7837702

Most of his finishes have come from devastating left hands. He was also the resident boxing trainer at his mma gym. Obviously the guy would get wiped at world level, but how do you think he would fair with the likes of Mike Alvardo?

Great to see the kameda's washed up. Who's next for McDonnell?

News in suggests fight was given to the wrong fighter: "An administrative error on the scorecard used in Floyd Mayweather's victory over Manny Pacquiao has ignited conspiracy theorists into suggesting the Filipino should have won the bout. Judges Glenn Feldman, Burt Clements and Dave Moretti, named 'white', 'blue' and 'pink' on the scorecard respectively, all award Mayweather victory on the night but in every column where they mark their scores at the end of the round, he is labelled as being in the red corner."

Surely Arum will position him to get a decent win before feeding him to Crawford. Maybe a Khan fight?

Boxing news is reporting this will be the headline fight of a May 30th PPV card, Mitchell, Selby and Joshua in supporting roles.

There's been a lot of negativity flying around recently over the potential Brook stay busy fight, Khantards going in hard, framptons sycophants who don't understand the business of promoting. I think it's important to step back and think when was the last time boxing was taken to Wembley stadium? We are also seeing world title fight after world title fight involving British fighters on sky sports. This is incredible and beyond our wildest dreams five years ago. Let's also not forget that before Eddie came along the PPV model was Khan vs. anyone and Haye vs anyone.

Just read up on uk site boxing news that Mosley had been holding his own against the likes of Brandon Rios and Shawn Porter in sparring and is contemplating a comeback. He says he is 70% likely to get back in the ring himself. I'm not quite sure doing ok against those guys makes him a world beater though. Will be interesting to hear how he does when he spars he special one during his upcoming visit to the UK.

The most decorated ammatuer boxer in British history.

Froch also told IFLTV that golovkin is a small middleweight and wouldn't be a fair fight because of the size difference. He acknowledged that Ward is a great fighter and a fight with him would be very hard to win. He says if it were in Nottingham and he was all guns blazing he might be able to chin him. Edited title due to incorrect information.

Just saying.

Just saw the 'interview' on his wife's YouTube page. These were the only names he would consider despite his wife's repeated questioning. He insists a Cotto fight would have to be at a catch-weight of 154 pounds. I think this story is too big to get lost in the official thread. Who would you like to see King Khan fight?

Fight hype is reporting Zab Judah is set to spar mayweather. What do you guys think? Does this version of Zab help mayweather much?

'I am touched that Amir is concerned about the fight, and that it might be boring for the fans,' said Mayweather. 'He doesn't need to worry, the fact this has taken so long to happen only makes the anticipation and build up of the fight that much greater.' 'I can even get him a ticket if he wants - so he can see what the biggest fight in the history of boxing looks like - and to appease any fears he might have about a boring fight.' Damn Mayweather just whooped Amir with kindness alone.

Khan, who was speaking to The Times, spoke of his feelings about his homeland - and was openly critical of UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who blamed the Paris attacks on a "gross policy of multiculturalism". "What Nigel Farage said makes me angry,” Khan said in the interview. "I was born here, went to school here, my mates are here. I’ve won a world title with the Union Jack proudly displayed on my shorts. I’ve won an Olympic medal with my heart full of pride. "I am more British even than Farage and a lot of white people. I try and show it through action.”

I came across this on max boxing. There was a video embedded with it that appeared to have been taken down, perhaps team Khan were not happy with how it sounded. Anyway his comments are of interest: "No disrespect to Freddie (Roach), he's a great trainer, but with Virgil (Hunter), he'll make you just do so many drills. He (Virgil) trains you the way you're going to fight," says Bolton's Amir Khan in this new video interview. Plus Khan adds regarding his sparring sessions with Manny Pacquiao: I remember the wars I used to have in the Wild Card gym...I thought it was good to do that. With me and Pacquiao, it was war. Most of the time, I used to get the better of him. I've got videos of that (to prove it)...he knows deep down what happened in sparring."

Yet with Manny Pacquiao you never mention Medgoen Singsurat or Rustico Torrecampo? Yet with Juan Manuel Marquez you never mention Freddie Norwood or Javier Duran? Yet with Bernard Hopkins you never mention Clinton Mitchell? I just don't see the difference. All these guys are irrelevant in comparison to the names they have fought. Yet with Khan the haters want to keep Prescott in our consciousness as a way of discrediting all of Amir's great achievements?

Khan giving hope to the Peshawar people with his charity work in Pakistan. This is gaining serious traction and I wouldn't be surprised to see Amir's name in the New Years honours list by the Queen. He's clearly one of the biggest names in boxing globally if he's featured on the BBC news 10 o'clock main bulletin. I therefore don't know how long Mayweather can keep saying he's not well known enough. Check out the video here, sorry I can't embed on my phone: http://youtu.be/e-BoC8y9akE

Interesting interview by Khan. I'm a fan of him in the ring, I'm not sure if I remember the fight the way he tells it at 22 minutes on this new interview: http://youtu.be/euIWcL4m7no Sorry I can't embed it I'm on my phone. He states how the maidana fight and Alexander are the two biggest wins of his career.

Does anyone know if it's being picked up on any network at all? It's a real shame he didn't fight this year.

Interested in what people think was the biggest statement made by a fighter. This is not the same as fight of the year or fighter of the year. An example could be kell brook proving he really was the special one by stepping up on the world stage and ripping the world title off the champion on his home turf. I've got a few others but what do you guys have?

If they were both to fight today, how do you see the fight going?

Curious to where you would place him in the current landscape. A lot of the top 10 is now very open to interpretation. How high could Hopkins be placed? Potentially first?

http://youtu.be/uXUSFDAtAHI Quite shocked by his comments here, does he have the desire if the going gets tough still? Looks like Rigo snatched his soul something bad!

This has been posted on BBC news now. Saying he has lost a lot of blood. Hope he's ok. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-29059716

Amazing! Shots fired! Floyd Mayweather is pictured with Alex Ariza helping him stretch before a 3am run.

Very interesting interview by Hearn on IFLTV, he drops a few bombs. Says that Sam Watson told him Brook 'schooled' Porter. Talks a bit about Brook facing the names in the thread title for his voluntary defence. He rules out Bundu as US tv networks are interested and Hearn doesn't view him as a name that excited them.
