Jose Antonio Rivera was the WBA welterweight champion of the world and looking forward to signing some lucrative fights. Not anymore, and the reason being is none other than Bronx puncher Luis Collazo. Once beaten and not intending to be so again this weekend, Collazo is the WBA champion now, albeit under the reign of…
Hasim Rahman and Monte Barrett are about to offend the Klitschko code of practice: they are going to fight. While that doesn’t make sense to a middle-aged heavyweight champion only one defense into a non-existent championship legacy, it is actually what keeps the business afloat.

Robin Reid has one last chance to become a major world champion, and if he does so against America’s Jeff Lacy, not one person could say he did not earn it. Lacy would already be a major attraction if he was placed anywhere else than in the super middleweight division, where champions like to defend…
In terms of championship definition, these are confusing times. It seems that anyone with a Portakabin, Internet access and a fax machine can manufacture the latest sanctioning organization. Of course, rather than recoil at such nuisances, new sanctioning bodies have become to boxing what lingering passers-by are to Jennifer Lopez: if they just hang around…
