Upcoming heavyweight fights August-Dec 2011

Sad to see a lot of heavyweights are poorly managed: Johnson, Platov, Boytsov, Pala, etc.

Kevin Johnson's manager/promoter, Michael Borao, is actually a fairy well known boxing guy as a lawyer, but I guess he promotes too? I was unaware. His official website is offline.

Arreola's lucky, he's basically in the same place as Johnson, but he's got Dan Goossen keeping his career alive.

Yes.

Goossen (Chambers, Thompson, Arreola) and Sauerland (Helenius, Pulev, Povetkin) may both be shady, but they do a good job of managing their fighters.

There's a new interview up with Amir Mansour on Fight Hype. Says he's talking to all major promoters, but it looks like he's signing with Don King.

Next week: Amir Monsour rated #1 contender by the WBC.

King will likely get Mansour a high WBA ranking too, and a shot at Povetkin.

King and Sauerland are old buddies, so that fight will be easily made.

what happened to pulev vs rogan?

you know he will win a couple of vacant trinkets & get a good ranking or king will have a few of his guys fight each other for positioning.mansour vs stiverne or austin? austin is still top 10 in WBC

Rogan b1tched out. He's fighting a bum now.

His Irish fans are unhappy about it, and expressing their disappointment in him on various boxing websites.

Perhaps King will perhaps get him in another WBC eliminator against Austin, and they'll have the fight on HBO.

Nah HBO is interested in Stiverne, no way King would sacrifice one of those two potential moneymakers. As Freedom suggested, he'll probably try to push Monsour up the WBA ratings for a shot at Wlad, while Stiverne gets his shot at Vitali.

that is very dissappointing considering he turned down a good offer vs fury...rogan has made 2 bad decisions in a few weeks...go back to driving cab i guess
