By Don Donatello Please tell me who has Saul "Canelo" Alvarez fought worth anything. The biggest name in his resume is Sugar Shane Mosley. Mosley was totally washed up by the time he fought Canelo. And Saul could not even muster to knock down his opponent who could be old enough to be his father. So that fight is not worth mentioning. Then he fought a very average fighter … [Read more...] about WHO IS SAUL CANELO ALVAREZ AND WHY IS FLOYD MAYWEATHER FIGHTING HIM

By Don Donatello There is no blueprint to beating Floyd Mayweather, that is what Mayweather likes to repeat. Of course he is wrong. The blueprint is there, but he just avoids those who have it, it's called cherry picking.

By Don Donatello The following is solely my personal opinion. There is no direct evidence that Juan Manuel Marquez used PEDs (Performance-enhancing drugs) when he fought Manny Pacquiao. But it does not mean he did not use them. Criminals are convicted of their crime without direct evidence such as eyewitness, DNA, or the weapon they used in their crime. They are convicted … [Read more...] about PACQUIAO GETS BACK AT MARQUEZ

By Don Donatello Don't be fooled by the wily, old fox, boxing promoter that is Bob Arum.
