Say what you will about Floyd Mayweather, Jr., but it seems like after guys lose to him, they, like Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz' just close their eyes, click their heels together and repeat the words, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home."
Last weekend it was Oscar De La Hoya, who after losing to Floyd "The Wicked Witch of the West" Mayweather, Jr. last year, went back home to fight in Los Angeles for the first time in eight years. The promotion was titled "Homecoming" and it attracted nearly 30,000 fans.
In two weeks it'll be Ricky Hatton's turn to fight in...

Can Vitali Make it to the Starting Gate?
By Steve Kim
 |
If Vitali Klitschko were a thoroughbred, he would've have been Eight Belles. Luckily for him, he's just a heavyweight, so he wasn't euthanized. Instead, he was bestowed his 'Champion Emeritus' status by the WBC, and despite not having fought since December of 2004 – when he stopped Danny Williams in eight - he will get the next crack at Samuel Peter for the green belt.
The power brokers involved met in Mexico City and averted a purse bid on Thursday afternoon.
"Dino (Duva), Don (King), Tom Loeffler and I...

Timothy Bradley – In Search Of a Belt and Respect, Not Necessarily In That Order
By Thomas Gerbasi
 |
Joel Diaz knows a little something about being the odd man out while fighting in hostile territory.
He’s been there when his brother Antonio traveled to Connecticut to fight Micky Ward and New York to take on Shane Mosley. He saw his other brother Julio go to the Big Apple to face Justo Sencion and to Florida to fight Ricky Quiles, and he’s even been in the position of challenger on foreign turf himself when he fought Philip Holiday for the IBF lightweight crown in 1996.
So when Diaz, Timothy Bradley’s head trainer, talks about the things his fighter will likely face in England this...
