1. The James Toney-Hasim Rahman fight scheduled for July 16 will be televised live on FoxSportsNet's Best Damn Sports Show Period. The fight is billed Last Chance as both fighters need to win in order continue their careers against top level competition.
2. Floyd Mayweather Sr. does not believe his son Floyd Mayweather Jr. will stay retired. He believes his son will probably retire 3 or 4 more times. He also stated that no one takes his son serious because he tells lies. Mayweather Sr. believes it is inevitable that Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya fight.
3. If you have not read my post about the Oscar De La Hoya Lottery, then you probably missed that Ricky Hatton has turned down an offer to fight De La Hoya. Essentially Hatton's father, Ray, said it was bad timing because Ricky had just fought two weeks ago and needed more time to prepare.
4. HBO has sent it crews to the Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito camps to begin filming the Countdown to their July 26 fight. At first HBO was going to be dumb enough not to film a Countdown their fight. Not sure what was on their mind since Cotto-Margaritio could very well be the best fight of the year. Oh well it does not matter since they seemed to have gotten their senses back.
5. New WBO Super Bantamweight Champion Juan Manuel Lopez says he wants to fight Israel Vasquez. Vasquez is the WBC Super Bantamweight Champion and king of the division after winning 2 out of 3 fights with Rafael Marquez. Where this fight appears to be excitement in the making, Vasquez may still fight Marquez a fourth time since he can make more money.
