Marcos Maidana certainly rattled the 37-year-old WBC/WBA welterweight world champion in their May 3rd fight—enough so that Mayweather was willing to listen to the clamor for a rematch and announced today that he's granting Maidana another shot.
On July 12, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Erislandy Lara are fighting in Las Vegas. While technically not a title fight, it's considered the de facto championship bout at 154 lbs.
Former light heavyweight champion Matthew Saad Muhammad, who was abandoned as a child and rose to become "one of the most exciting boxers of all time" and later an advocate for the homeless after a stay in a shelter himself, has died. He was 59.
Raised on the hardcore streets of Germantown, so reluctant to throw a punch that he was the object of ridicule as a kid, 6-foot-4, 250-pound Rock has all the components to possibly represent the United States at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Marcos Maidana did everything Saturday night but beat Floyd Mayweather, taking him 12 tough rounds before losing a majority decision.
Floyd Mayweather feels confident, as he should, for his May 3rd challenge from Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. But there's someone that always seems to haunt the undisputed best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and that's the constant specter of Manny Pacquiao.
Bernard Hopkins wants it known he's not chasing Floyd Mayweather, just that there is a viable option out there for a huge pay-per-view fight if the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world wants it.
Hopkins (55-6-2, 32 knockouts) gave the 30-year-old Shumenov (14-2, 9 KO) his first loss since 2009.
Once it was over, the temptation was easy to go there: Manny Pacquiao was proclaimed "back" by his multitude of minions after he vanquished the game, though out-skilled Tim Bradley last week, avenging the grave injustice that was done to "Pac-Man" the first time they fought.
Boxing has a way of eating everything around it. It deflates bodies, bank accounts, fan interest, but it never had a chance to sink its teeth into Hopkins' marrow.

It takes a lot to shock and outrage Mike Tyson. Sounds like a job for Dennis Rodman.
Before other sports matched the money and none of the danger, boxing was must-watch theater, a distillation of the rags-to-riches narrative that personified the American Dream. And Ken Norton was Exhibit A.
It's a perfunctory boxing ritual that can't be helped. Danny Garcia's victory over Lucas Matthysse was barely an hour old when talk of his next opponent was broached.
From the opening moments it was apparent Saul "Canelo" Alvarez could not stay with the faster, quicker, more-accurate punching Floyd Mayweather.
The Mayweather-Canelo fight could possibly exceed the record-breaking 2.5 million pay-per-view buys that Mayweather-De La Hoya attracted in 2007.
36-year-old Floyd Mayweather (44-0) will be facing undefeated 23-year-old Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, the WBC/WBA world champ (42-0-1) Saturday night in "The One," from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
He'd like you to believe it. He may even convince a few out there that he's right, and they believe him. He may even believe it himself, despite the thin, diluted version of boxing today.
Alvarez and Mayweather are fighting at a catch-weight of 152 pounds, which, if you're looking for an edge, would probably point to Alvarez, the naturally larger man. But Mayweather has a way of making larger men look small.
