Vincente Saldivar & Jerry Quarry       1/22/07 - Jim Amato
The 1960's spawned many great fighters. Dick Tiger, Jose Torres, Emile Griffith, Luis Rodriguiz and Carlos Ortiz just to name a few. One of the best of this era was a 5' 3" southpaw from Mexico City named Vincente Saldivar.
Mike Tyson was the self proclaimed "Baddest Man On The Planet." Even after his decisive loss to Buster Douglas in 1990 and three year exile to prison many still believed him. His two subsequent losses to Evander Holyfield have now changed all that.

In Rusty's Corner       1/17/07 - Rusty Rubin

Dave Green & Jose Napoles       1/17/07 - Jim Amato - New Featured Writer!
He turned professional in 1974 and in a short time he became a serious contender for the welterweight title. Dave " Boy " Green took England by storm.
The late 1960's and early 1970's produced some of the finest, most dominant champions ever. While Ali, Frazier and Foreman were taking turns ruling the heavyweights, other divisions found themselves under the supreme rule of a certain superior boxer.

In Rusty's Corner       1/04/07 - Rusty Rubin
I am quite interested in the new plan set forth my New Jersey Commissioner Larry Hazzard, to use instant replay when controversy arises in a bout held in that state. I have two problems with it, a corner can use the replay request to stall for time when a fighter is in need of a longer rest, and secondly, with the promoter supplying the equipment, can the equipment be rigged to favor the promoter’s fighter?

Bobby Chacon & Danny McAlinden       1/05/07 - Jim Amato - New Featured Writer!
Arturo Gatti was probably the warrior of this era. Some of his battles, win or lose are becoming legendary. Rewind now back to early 1970's to the mid 80's. There was a boxer, a champion who was Gatti before there was a Gatti.
In the early 1970's Dan McAlinden was a streaking young heavyweight who appeared to have the makings of a world champion. He was strong, aggressive and carried a solid punch.

Roberto Duran is already enshrined in the World Boxing Hall Of Fame. He is on the ballot for induction into the International Boxing Hall Of Fame in 2007.

By the time his career ended he had crossed gloves with no less then eight men who at one time held the moniker, world champion.

Stan " Kitten " Hayward & Joey Giambra       1/01/07 - Jim Amato - New Featured Writer!
Stan " Kitten " Hayward was just one of the many tough welterweights and middleweights that came out of Philadelphia in the 1960's and 70's..
For a decade ( 1952-1962 ) Joey Giambra was a mainstay among the middleweight elite. Still he never received a shot at the middleweight title. In fact he received his only title shot at the tail end of his career battling for the newly created junior middleweight division.
