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. BoxingLedger.com is currently ranked in the top 14% among all boxing websites on the internet. Thank you for your continued support! You can contact me at michaelseiler11@gmail.com.

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?

"The Pittsburgh Kid" Returns April 6th

On Saturday, April 6, 2013, Paul "The Pittsburgh Kid" Spadafora (47-0-1, 19 KO's) steps back into the ring at the Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort in Chester, West Virginia to face-off against Robert "Red Hot" Frankel (32-12-1, 6 KO's) in a ten-rounder, as he continues his quest to fight for another world title. The Harv has been home to twelve of Spadafora's professional fights, including the night he captured the IBF Lightweight title, defeating Israel "Pito" Cardona on August 20, 1999. The Spadafora - Frankel bout headlines a card put forth by future hall of famer, Roy Jones, Jr., and TNT Promotions.

Spadafora, 37, soundly outclassed Solomon Egberime in his last outing. Spadafora fought twice in 2012, and is staying extremely active by boxing in what will be his third bout in eight months. A winner in four of his last five contests, Frankel, 32, aims to upset the former southpaw world champion.

In addition, unbeaten light middleweight pupil Joey "Hitman" Holt (2-0, 2 KO's) takes on Bruce Runkle (3-2-1) in a four-round battle. Also exhibiting their highly competitive skills in a pair of six-round clashes will be 24-year-old light welterweight prospect Bill "The Boilermaker" Hutchinson (5-1-2, 3 KO's), and undefeated middleweight Wilkins "The Hispanic Hurricane" Santiago (7-0, 1 KO). Plus, heavyweight newcomer Ed Latimore (1-0, 1 KO) fights in a scheduled four-rounder. More fights will be announced shortly.
