The most celebrated moments in sport are often frozen in time. Captured in a vintage sepia tone or the cracked frame of the days when photos were taken on actual film, they live on forever as windows into the past. From Chuck Bednarik towering over a lifeless Frank Gifford to Bobby Orr soaring above the [...]

Fighters are never judged by a single fight.
Sometimes, if not often, they may be remembered for a lone effort (see Leon Spinks, ‘Buster’ Douglas, and Carlos Baldomir), but never can you truly judge a boxer’s legacy or standing by one outing.
Saturday night, Manny Pacquiao engaged in yet another razor-close exhibition against the hard-nosed Juan Manuel [...]
Boxing is the “fool’s gold” of sport. It defies all that we learn from the time we are children into adulthood.
Whether it’s the endless wails of a mother over her child’s scraped knee or the sharp wince accompanying the arthritic spasm of a retiree, we are too often reminded that human beings are made [...]
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the definition of an asshole. Now, if he was standing here right in front of me, I might have a different tone, but I’m not sure there is another athlete I dislike more in the history of sports. And last night just added fuel to the fire.
For anyone that paid $70 [...]
Last week, I wrote that UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva was the baddest dude on the planet.
“Giving Ron Pawlus the next 4 Heisman Trophies” thinks I spoke too soon.
On Saturday night, Jon “Bones” Jones sauntered into the UFC Octagon as the challenger to champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in the light heavyweight division.
Shogun is a legend [...]
Chad Johnson is a baffoon, but we already knew that. What we are quickly finding out is that Chad Johnson is also a moron.
Earlier this month, the Bengals wide receiver publicly called out UFC Champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva, and challenged him to a fight.
Johnson tweeted “…once the CBA expires tomorrow I’m free to beat [...]
Imagine you’re Floyd Mayweather. It’s 4 o’clock in the morning, you just went out to grab a little 4th meal, and the god damn rent-a-cops won’t let you into your own f**king housing complex. Gotta be a joke, right? I mean, were talking ’bout Floyd Mayweather here. Do you know who the f**k I am?!?!?!
The [...]
Manny Pacquiao once again proved his dominance on the sport of boxing by completely owning Antonio Margarito for his 52nd professional boxing win of his career. Pacquiao’s blindingly fast hands were too much for Margarito, as they have been for almost anyone who’s ever fought him. He didn’t just win, he fractured Margarito’s face.
He has now won [...]
British boxing star Ricky Hatton is now in PR-clean-up mode. Step one: check yourself into a “clinic”.
This on the heels of a undercover video from (who else?) The News of the World with shocking video of Hatton snorting line after line of cocaine before a night out on the town.
In the video below, you see he takes each line [...]
Talking s**t can be an art form. Some legends have learned how to use it to their advantage — taking their opponent’s mind off the task at hand and giving themselves an advantage at the same time.
Floyd Mayweather’s recent rant on Ustream was not clever s**t talking. It couldn’t have been effective either. It’s too transparent. [...]
After his first round loss to former champion Randy Couture, James Toney has thrown as many punches in the UFC as I have.
The 42 year old boxing legend wanted to see how well his skills translated to the world of MMA. After one of the most underwhelming performances in UFC history, it was clear that [...]
TMZ has obtained a grainy-ass video of a street fight that appears to show MMA fighter Roger Huerta fighting with a dude that just hit the living s**t out of a girl. Instant Karma, my friend, is a bitch.
He’s being made out to be some kind of hero, and in some way he is doing what [...]
