Saddo’s Official Pound 4 Pound List. UPDATED… 1st October 2009: 1: Manny Pacquiao The Filippino phenomenom just keeps his spot. However, he has refused to get lazy off the back off his demolition of Ricky Hatton in 2 rounds. He next plans to take on Miguel Cotto in November at a 145lb catchweight & a…
Well fight fans we are gearing up for another great boxing weekend as this Saturday night, HBO brings us a super feather doubleheader featuring Erik “El Terrible†Morales taking on Zahir Raheem. The once beaten Raheem will attempt to shock the world by out-classing and out-boxing a true legend in Erik Morales. Many say that…
To describe a fighter with seven losses to his name as lucky might appear inappropriate to some, but Omar Sheika is as lucky as they come. As a mere boxing pup at the age of twenty-one with all the usual dreams of stardom and world title glory, Sheika wound up in Sheffield, England. Then undefeated…

The main event features the Aztec Warrior, “El Ferozâ€, Ferocious Fernando Vargas, (25-2-0 with 22 KOs) taking on the Spaniard, “El…
Ricardo Mayorga, as is his habit, has been trashing his opponent through the media this week. It’s been the usual declarations that his opponent is weak, lacks ability and is simply a stepping-stone to a bigger fight. The Nicaraguan’s antics do make for interesting theater and fun reading but the object of all this attention,…
On Saturday, August 6, 2005, live from Tampa Bay, Florida, and televised on Showtime, Jeff “Left Hook†Lacy will put his IBF 168-pound trinket on the line against perennial contender, and former WBC champion, Robin “Grim Reaper†Reid. This will be the third defense of Lacy’s title, and should be the toughest test of his…
Wayne McCullough is chasing the WBC super bantamweight championship, and as hard luck would have it, a Mexican champion stands in his way. 122-pound fighters the world over can breathe a sigh of relief that it is not Daniel Zaragoza, the man that owned the very same championship on and off over a ten-year period,…
If man must know his limitations, he should have had a whisper in Danny Williams’ ear before Vitali Klitschko turned up. It was easy to become caught up in the hype that followed Williams’ fourth round stoppage of Mike Tyson, but in hindsight, if Kevin McBride can do it…..all right, I’ll stop there before we…
Forget the future, is Peter the best right now? Samuel Peter (23-0, 20KOs) takes on Taurus Sykes (23-1-1, 6KOs) for the NABF and USBA heavyweight titles. In the weak heavyweight division, I see him as the best natural and gifted fighter there is today. Peter is only twenty-four-years-old and was an Olympic quarterfinalist at the…
Vivian Harris is a world champion but his name is not a power punch in the boxing world. He is the WBA’s belt holder since 2002 and he is a man on a mission. Harris is a puncher in every sense of the word, and is always willing to counter punch with his opposition. Pull…
Antonio Tarver is in a division with very few shining stars and come this Saturday night, he has a chance to increase his fan base, future match-ups and bragging rights to the sports world with a win over Glen Johnson. Do not judge Johnson’s record, he has nine losses; however his only convincing loss was…
Those of you that log on every week to see the SaddoBoxing debate articles know that I am not displaying stellar form of late.
