Boxing: WBC Update, Boxing Rumors

First, to date there have been very few responses to my subjective question as to who is the hardest puncher in each weight division (active). I know it’s a tough question, but I’d really like to hear from all the boxing mavens out there. I’m not grading anyone and there’s no right or wrong, as it’s just an opinion. But I’m asking the question to prove a point, and that point is that to prove my theory that the hardest punchers are not found in today’s heavyweight division.

Bits and pieces: The World Boxing Council (WBC) is scheduled to be defunct shortly, if the current bankruptcy proceedings go as scheduled.

The bankruptcy was forced upon the WBC because Graciano Rochiggiani won a law suit against the sanctioning body, for wrongfully stripping him of the title and awarding in to Roy Jones.

I don’t defend the WBC’s actions here, and neither did the judge, but $31 million is a lot of money, and the WBC simply can’t afford to pay it, thus the bankruptcy.
