The rivalry between Tony Bellew and Nathan Cleverly is one of the most intense in British boxing, and on 12th July, the two will appear on the same bill at Liverpool's Echo Arena.

Donald Sterling vs. Floyd Mayweather
This past weekend, private anti-black comments made by long-time Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling were made public. As a result NBA commissioner Adam Silver has decided to ban Sterling from the NBA for life.

Players around the league have silently protested Sterling this week, and will likely continue to silently protest him throughout the duration of the postseason.
Mikey Garcia Bringing Old School Style To A New Boxing World

Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez: Redux
Gatti vs. Ward? Sugar Ray vs. Hearns? Ali vs. Frazier?

Floyd "Money" Mayweather may one day go down as one of boxing's greatest superstars, pound-for-pound one of the best to ever do it; yet ironically unlike previous legends like Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali and, even, Manny Pacquiao he will do so while being despised by a majority of the general public.

Welcome to The Best Boxing Blog! Here on TheBestBoxingBlog.com you will find articles about all the big issues in sports: past, present, and future. It's all sports and it's all here; everything you ever wanted to know, think about, and discuss about all the major issues and questions in the sports world.
We created The Best Boxing Blog because, despite all the sports sites that are out there, we thought there was a major void left to fill. While ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and others provide complete instant coverage of sports events (and occasionally even engaging commentary) there isnt another site out there on the net that was dedicated to providing detailed, informative, and substantive discussions about the biggest issues in sports. Its easy to find out if a player gets traded and possible to find some decent commentary on the immediate effects, but we couldnt find a site dedicated to providing sports fans with detailed analysis of the deeper reasons behind current sports events and their medium and long term consequences. That is the void that we want this site to fill.
The point of The Best Boxing Blog is to bring you engaging, thought-provoking, and completely unique content on the biggest happenings, issues, and problems in sports. We are not worried about breaking the news first; its the advanced analysis of the events behind, and consequences of, that news that we are concerned with. As a result, you will notice that most of our content - even older articles - is not past due and out of touch. Thats because our analysis is about looking at the big picture, taking on the questions that routine commentators leave alone, and analyzing issues from a viewpoint that is different from all the Talking Heads out there. We are about providing our readers with unique, unvarnished, long term analysis and that is what makes The Best Boxing Blog different from any other site on the internet. We are very proud of that so please take a look and we are sure you will see the benefits of this new approach.
The Best Boxing Blog is also about building a new online sports community for engaged fans who want two things: to read the best analysis out there and have an outlet to contribute their own criticism, thoughts, and ideas. As you will notice, we always solicit your thoughts and comments in our articles and have comment boxes featured prominently on every page. Theres a reason for that: we dont just want this to be a normal sports site that you visit, read, and leave; we want it to be a community of sports fans sharing their ideas. We are sports fans just like you; normal fans who want to read intelligent detailed analysis and express our own ideas at the same time. Thats why we created The Best Boxing Blog: we want to create a web-based sports community where everyone reads our thoughts, contributes their own, and together we reach a consensus (or happily debate forever) on the biggest questions and issues in sports today.
We also like to let you know about other websites you might find useful. For instance, we recently found 888sport which is a great sports betting site that offers excellent odds on bets in most sports (horse racing, soccer, rugby, tennis) -- and boxing. If you join now you can get an exclusive $50 free bet offer with similar offers later once you become a member of the site. Check it out if interested.
As a final note, we encourage you to join our free subscription newsletter. You will find it on the top right hand corner of this homepage. The newsletter will be used to provide members of The Best Boxing Blog community with article updates, special content and analysis that is exclusive to our newsletter subscribers, and occasionally notices of great new products and services that we think could prove very helpful to our readers. We encourage you to sign up for it as your first step in joining this special new online community and becoming part of something new and unique in the sports world.
Thank You,
Paul and Mo
