Boxing Rumors - Hidden Truths?
1. Vernon Forrest said Sergio Mora was not going to fight Shane Mosley next and he meant it. So now Mosley's camp is in talks with Don King about a fight with Ricardo Mayorga. Mayorga's name is come up a lot more than he has as of recently. He has been mentioned for a fight with Pavlik and Mosley. However the fight with Mosley seems to be the one most likely to happen in possibly October or November.
2. Talks have already began for Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Cotto. Of course the talks will become serious after Cotto-Margarito assuming Cotto wins. If Cotto loses, the fight with De La Hoya will probably not happen.
3. Also Golden Boy is trying to get a possible Bernard Hopkins-Kelly Pavlik fight going. Not sure why because Hopkins does not need to fight a young guy like Pavlik at this stage of his career. Plus Bob Arum has stated guys like Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr, and Felix Trinidad need to go ahead and retire for good. So not sure if a Hopkins-Pavlik fight will really happen, but you just never know in boxing.
4. Mikkel Kessler said if Joe Calzaghe does not want to fight Kelly Pavlik, he will. Kessler, who has a fight for the vacant WBA Super Middleweight Belt this weekend, says he would like to fight Pavlik for his first defense of the title this fall. Kessler is assuming he wins the the belt this weekend.
