Floyd Mayweather's victory over Oscar de la Hoya was a star-making performance, yet many seem to disagree with the final decision. That makes it a good fight to revisit and re-score.

There was also a small matter of Oscar de la Hoya's recent "documentary" to discuss. "The Golden Boy" recently debuted on HBO's streaming service, and might figure into the Mayweather-De la Hoya discussion more than previously realized.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, joint Patrick Connor and Brin-Jonathan Butler in reliving Mayweather-De la Hoya!

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina express their gratitude for a wonderful week of boxing punctuated by Terence Crawford.

Back in the 1950s, the heavyweight division was more or less held hostage by Floyd Patterson's trainer and manager Cus D'Amato after Rocky Marciano retired. A number of heavyweights during that time ripened on the vine, if not had a good portion of their careers wasted. On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, Patrick Connor and Aris Pina remember a new set of fighters for Part 2 of the Lost 1950s Heavyweights.
