A boxing blogger's guide to boxers who blog

Our pal Tim Starks of MVN's Ring Report compiles a list of the boxer blogs out there -- David Diaz, Nate Campbell, the very funny Tony Thompson, Robert Guerrero, and amateur fighter Jonathan Moreland (the excellently titled "Earning a Nickname"). Thompson's is an especially fun read.

Hatton officially passes on Oscar fight

"It would be too soon, Richard only fought two weeks ago," Ray Hatton, the boxing champion’s father and manager, told British Broadcasting Corp. Sport. "Oscar likes to fight in September because of Mexican Independence Day, but Richard is chilling out at the moment."

This fight will shove it up their asses.

Showtime: Everyone makes weight

Vernon Forrest came in at 153.75 pounds while Sergio Mora (who has been fighting at 160) weighed in at 154 on the nose. Welterweights Carlos Quintana and Paul Williams also made weight, with Quintana at 146 and Williams at 145.75.

We'll see tomorrow, but sounds like the 6'1" Williams might have overtrained.
