No matter what your sport of choice is, we can all agree on one thing: We, whether young or old, get very excited with rising young prospects.

So far this year we’ve had one big boxing event, when Tim Bradley fought Devon Alexander, and even though the win was huge for Bradley, the fight itself was a disappointment to the fans. But I can fully guarantee everyone that this week’s fight won’t disappoint. Two of the very best pound-for-pound fighters, Nonito Donaire [...]

There are a few different ways to become a top pound-for-pound fighter in boxing. The most common way is to simply beat the best opponents available, but you can also get in based off longevity and consistency.

They say if you find a job that you enjoy doing, than it’s not really a job. But sometimes even the most thrilling of professions could be the very cause of your decline, or even your demise. On a Sunday afternoon on 27 July 1890, a 37-year-old Vincent van Gogh went for a walk in [...]

It’s no secret that Bernard Hopkins is very outspoken when it comes to anything involving race. Unfortunately, what eventually comes out of his mouth is always a negative comment about other ethnicities, and a positive comment on the superiority of African-Americans.
