Boxing media is in bad shape, and the way ballots and voting is decided with the International Boxing Hall of Fame epitomizes what current issues are. Frankly, the process seems to be at an icky nadir.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Boxing History guy Patrick Connor and fellow historian Aris Pina don't hold much back as they discuss several different issues that have risen to the surface during this year's voting.

The light heavyweight division is one of the oldest of the "original" divisions, and Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol is but an extension of the division's history. It's a necessary fight that nearly everyone wanted.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor teams up with Compubox operator and fellow history guy Aris Pina to preview Beterbiev-Bivol and discussion a host of unsung, forgotten and underrated light heavyweights from history.

The International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York has been around since 1990, and there aren't too many history podcasts out there where the hosts have nearly 30 years of IBHOF voting between them.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, two IBHOF voters discuss a number of fighters on the modern ballot.

Which fighters are deserving of the vote? Which are deserving of being on the ballot? Which aren't? Who SHOULD be on the ballot that isn't? We tackle these questions and more!

In the early 2000s, both Manny Pacquiao and Edwin Valero were new and hard-hitting lower weight sensations. Their career trajectories were clearly on different paths, but for a few years, Pacquiao-Valero was a mythical matchup most fans would have been happy to get. And we really weren't that far from getting it.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and author/filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler discuss the careers of Pacquiao, Valero and their imaginary fight.
