Born in Belleville, New Jersey, U.S.A. in 1982, I have followed the sport of boxing since I was six-years-old. After losing my job in February 2009 due to the economic recession, I created this website to promote the sport. Now, I cover fight cards ringside. I will provide press releases from promoters, previews of upcoming bouts, interviews with various fighters, and recaps of major televised fights.

Boxing Ledger's Top Ten Pound-For-Pound Rankings

As of Sunday, April 14, 2013:

1. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
2. Bernard Hopkins
3. Sergio Martinez
4. Juan Manuel Marquez
5. Andre Ward
6. Manny Pacquiao
7. Wladimir Klitschko
8. Vitali Klitschko
9. Carl Froch
10. Guillermo Rigondeaux

Pound-For-Pound rankings were established to determine if a fighter, who is paramount in his weight class, is also superior when compared to other fighters atop their own respective weight divisions. How did I formulate these current rankings? It is comprised of careful observation, analysis and evaluation through the years on four specific criteria.

1) Quality of Opposition - What level of competition has each fighter faced?

2) Performance Level - How did the fighter fare against the various styles he encountered?

3) Age - Did the fighter defeat his opponents while they were in the prime of their careers?

4) Significance of a Loss - If a fighter lost, how did he lose? Was it via decision or knockout? Did he sustain a loss at the hands of high-quality competition? Was he at the peak of his career when he suffered a defeat?

GOLD MEDALIST BARTHELEMY OPENS ESPN "FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS" TELECAST


This Friday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL, 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist, Yan Barthelemy (11-2, 4KO's) will square off against Dominican Francis Ruiz (9-3, 4 KOs) in the opening bout on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights". Barthelemy was originally scheduled to face Chris Avalos (18-1, 15KO's) but Avalos was forced to pull out citing a hand injury suffered recently in sparring. The bout, scheduled for ten rounds in the super bantamweight division, is promoted by The Heavyweight Factory in association with Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing.

After starting his career 6-0, the Cuban Gold Medalist Barthelemy hit a bit of a rough patch, going 2-2 in his next four, before righting the ship behind a new team, which included, highly regarded trainer, Orlando Cuellar. Since joining with Cuellar, coupled by the signing of Star Boxing, Barthelemy is 3-0, with all three of those wins coming by way of knockout, including a fourth round stoppage of previously unbeaten, and fellow 2004 Olympian Roberto Benitez.

ESPN begins live coverage at 9PM ET. In the main event WBA #1, WBC #6 and WBO #7 rated welterweight contender Brad Soloman (16-0, 7KO's) defends his WBA International welterweight title against Demetrius Hopkins (30-1-1, 11KO's).
