Both fighters appear poised to be ready for the next step, but both...

Adrien Broner has flare like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and skills unlike any other young boxer in the sport. And he expects to take a big step toward making himself a household name on November 17 when he fights Antonio DeMarco (28-2-1, 21 KOs) for the WBC lightweight title at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on HBO’s Championship Boxing.

Broner (24-0, 20 KOs) represents everything that boxing...

You want to talk boxing in Brooklyn? Consider this: On June 19, 1947, Coney Island's Herbie Kronowitz beat Brownsville's Harold Green at Ebbets Field, for the middleweight title of Brooklyn. It doesn't get more Brooklyn than that. That fight, between two top 10 contenders, is just a small slice of Brooklyn's rich boxing past. Now, Golden Boy Promotions and The Barclays Center are writing a new chapter...

It’s been seven appearances at Madison Square Garden and seven wins for Miguel Cotto. Cotto has made New York City a second home. If his wins over Yuri Foreman at Yankee Stadium and Walkimi Young at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan are included, Cotto is 9-0 fighting in the Big Apple.

Featherweight contender Rafael Vazquez is motivated by many things. But being the best boxer in the world, believe or not, isn’t at the top of the motivational list.

There has been a change at the top. Andre Ward takes over the top spot in the Neutral Corner Top 10 pound-for-pound list. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fans won’t like it, but Ward has been active and he’s beaten most of the top 168-pound fighters in the world and the best light heavyweight. Can’t deny Ward the top spot this time.

1. Andre Ward, super middleweight, (26-0): Ward has beaten Mikkel Kessler,...
