It seems Mayweather is now destined to face pound for pound rival Manny Pacquiao, assuming the Filipino legend defeats Miguel Cotto. However Floyd’s trainer, Roger Mayweather, insisted a fight with welterweight king ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley would be more of a spectacle.

Ukrainian veteran Vitali Klitschko continues to be the shining beacon in a dreary Heavyweight division as he fended off the challenge of Chris Arreola to retain his WBC title. Klitschko kept the feisty Mexican American at bay with his superior reach (jab), as Arroeola’s corner called off the fight before the tenth round. Klitschko’s next opponent could be opinionated Brit David Haye, provided he beats Nikolai ‘The Beast From the East’ Valuev in their David v Goliath encounter.

Haye, who has campaigned most of his career at Cruiserweight, is adamant his speed and knockout prowess can make up for his lack of size in the Heavyweight division. Boxing legend Evander Holyfield believes Haye will come unstuck against Valuev, citing his lack of experience at heavyweight.

In other boxing news, newly crowned light welterweight champion Amir Kahn is lining up his first defence of his WBA title against Dmitriy Salita. Kahn, who has reformed his career following a shock knockout at the hands of Breidris Prescott by defeating Erik Morales and Andreas Kotelnik, has his eyes on a fight with stable mate Manny Pacquiao next year. Finally, 2000 Olympic Champion Audley Harrison (cruelly dubbed ‘Fraudley’ by the British public for the stagnation of his heavyweight career) resurrected his chances of a World Title fight by winning Prizefighter. He knocked out Coleman Barrett in the 3rd fight with a vicious left hook, after Mike Tyson’s conqueror Danny Williams suffered a humiliating first round defeat.
