The International Boxing Federation is inserting itself into the business of titleholders like none of its three peers this year. The question is: Why?

In a lively Monday edition of ProBox TV’s “Top Stories,” hosts Paulie Malignaggi and Chris Algieri delved into the quality of Canelo Alvarez’s victory over Edgar Berlanga, and projected what it means for the four-division champion’s future.

We are the result of our decisions, and Brian Norman Jr., the new WBO welterweight titleholder, confronted one of those watershed moments in choosing not to face Jaron “Boots” Ennis for a $1.7 million purse.

If it was hooked only to that five-fight stretch of more than a decade ago, the case for Danny Garcia to be placed in the International Boxing Hall of Fame would be sound.

The angling to land a fight with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is fervent, and on Saturday it will be Diego Pacheco who throws his hat in the ring when he meets Maciej Sulecki in Carson, California.

When we’d been expecting to see Shakur Stevenson fight William Zepeda, and hoping he’d fight Gervonta “Tank” Davis, it’s difficult to be supportive of Joe Cordina challenging for Stevenson’s WBC lightweight title.

The appeal of Wednesday night’s Jarrett Hurd-Jeison Rosario middleweight showdown on ProBox TV isn’t just the final-stand nature of this battle between two former unified 154-pound champions.

Within minutes, the frontrunners for Knockout of the Year and Fight of the Year transpired inside a 575-mile radius of the southwestern U.S. as Angelo Leo and Vergil Ortiz Jr. prevailed.

Following a weekend of heightened drama connected to the U.S. debut Riyadh Season card in Los Angeles, the fallout/backlash has provoked a search for solutions and peace this week.

Terence Crawford and Israil Madrimov both fought very, very well on Saturday night. So much so the only fair reason I can see anyone having for criticising Crawford is if they’re considering whether he can keep Saul “Canelo” Alvarez off him should they ever fight.
