Three-division titleholder Shane Mosley could face WBA welterweight beltholder Paulie Malignaggi on April 27 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

HBO's exiting Larry Merchant: "I'm proud to be associated with so many talented people who made us into a groundbreaking network."

Amir Khan on his offense-oriented fighting style: "I'm that type of fighter who likes to fight and get into a tear-up."

Fights involving multi-belt winners Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins and Shane Mosley are part of the plans of Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer for the year 2013. 

Trainer Eric Brown calls Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez "a pick-em fight."

Trainer Virgil Hunter says Amir Khan's knockout losses are more about awareness than his having a fragile chin, and believes that Miguel Cotto erred by training at high altitude before facing Austin Trout..

Austin Trout on his triumph over Miguel Cotto: "It was a dream come true. I've been waiting for this moment my whole career."

WBA junior middleweight titleholder Austin Trout plans to make a bloody mess of challenger Miguel Cotto, who claims the champion's southpaw style won't be a problem.

The prospect of a highly-anticipated clash of junior featherweights between Abner Mares and Nonito Donaire was among the many topics broached by Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer in New York on Wednesday.

Will Austin Trout's dream of victory become a reality or a living nightmare in the form of Miguel Cotto?

Three-division titlewinner Miguel Cotto met New York Knicks' forward Carmelo Anthony prior to Sunday night's victory over the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden, where Cotto will face Austin Trout on Saturday.

Andre Berto was treated for injuries and released from Loma Linda University Medical Center following Saturday night's loss to Robert Guerrero, and is resting with family at his home in Winter Haven, Fla.

Austin Trout described his tendency since childhood to envision beating his boxing heroes in the ring, and said, "I have a big list of fighters that I really admire, and Miguel Cotto is on that list."

Austin Trout "will see, on Saturday, the best Miguel Cotto ever," says Cotto, who is unbeaten in seven fights at New York's Madison Square Garden, and in nine bouts overall in The Big Apple.

Robert Guerrero on his victories over Selcuk Aydin and Andre Berto: "I've had to come into these last two fights and to set the tone and show the world that I'm a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division."

Ricky Hatton following Saturday night's knockout loss to Vyacheslav Senchenko: "No matter how upsetting it is, I have got to be a man and say, 'It is the end of Ricky Hatton.'"

Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer contends that Ricky Hatton still is deserving of a rematch with Paulie Malignaggi despite Saturday's knockout loss to Vyacheslav Senchenko, whom Malignaggi stopped in April.

Vyacheslav Senchenko's ninth-round body shot stopped Ricky Hatton for the third time in his career and the first before his hometown fans at the Manchester Arena in England.

Paulie Malignaggi on Ricky Hatton-Vyacheslav Senchenko: "The keys for Hatton are to really get inside and be rough...For Senchenko, its about establishing his jab."

Austin Trout says facing Miguel Cotto in his partisan New York won't affect him: "The crowd has never had an effect on me. If anything, what it has done is given the motivation and it has made me want to make them shut up."

Will Andre Berto's 15-month layoff end with a victory over Robert Guerrero, or will Guerrero earn his 15th consecutive victory over Berto?

Robert Guerrero on Andre Berto and PEDs: "Everybody's guilty until they're proven innocent, and he was proven innocent."

Having endured past issues with depression, including suicidal thoughts, former titleholder Ricky Hatton says he's already won the battle whether he wins or loses Saturday night's welterweight clash with Vyacheslav Senchenko.

WBC junior featherweight titleholder Abner Mares and eight-division titlewinner Manny Pacquiao handed out free Turkeys at different venues over the weekend.

Austin Trout on his fight with Miguel Cotto: "I'm looking at this as my golden opportunity. He's had his time and done great things with it, but it's my time now. I'll be damned if I let this opportunity slip away from me."

WBA junior middleweight titleholder Austin Trout and challenger Miguel Cotto will be featured in pre- and post-fight documentaries in association with their Dec. 1 clash at New York's Madision Square Garden on Showtime.

Undefeated heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder will pursue his 26th knockout in as many victories without a loss against unbeaten Kelvin Price on the Dec. 15 Amir Khan-Carlos Molina undercard.

Although WBA welterweight beltholder Paulie Malignaggi has been mandated to face unbeaten Diego Chaves, he prefers a rematch with Ricky Hatton.

Paulie Malignaggi: "Floyd Mayweather gets no appreciation, but he's just so dominant, that they have to just deal with it...I'm not saying that I'm as dominant as Floyd, but I consider myself to be a real craftsman of the sport. I'm a true craftsman of boxing."

Trainer Eric Brown guided middleweight Peter Quillin to a title-winning decision over Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam before coaching WBA junior welterweight titleholder Paulie Malignaggi to a split-decision over Pablo Cesar Cano.

Paulie Malignaggi was glad he fought before his hometown fans at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but disappointed with the narrow decision, the CompuBox scoring and the fact that rival Pablo Cesar Cano failed to make the 147-pound division limit. 

Palbo Cesar Cano's next fight could be at 140 pounds, despite his inability to make the 147-pound limit for Saturday night's split-decision loss to Paulie Malignaggi.

WBA "regular" junior middleweight beltholder Austin Trout and retired refereee Joe Cortez will be among those on the crew calling Saturday night's quadruple-header for Showtime.

Trainer Eric Brown will work the corners of both Paulie Malignaggi and Peter Quillin in separate bouts on Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Pablo Cesar Cano can not win the WBA welterweight title owned by Paulie Malignaggi after having missed weight for Saturday night's clash at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya would like to deliver on Saul Alvarez's request to face either Miguel Cotto, Sergio Martinez or Floyd Mayweather on May 4.

Testing by the United Staes Anti-Doping Agency has discovered "irregularities" in the A sample of four-division titlewinner Erik Morales in advance of Saturday night's rematch with Danny Garcia.

Danny Garcia's Showtime-televsied junior welterweight championship defense against Erik Morales on Saturday at Brooklyn's Barclays Center kicks off a busy fall and winter schedule for Golden Boy Promotions. 

For the second time in his career, Mexico City native Pablo Cesar Cano will be fighting on American soil and rising in weight for a title bout, this time, against WBA welterweight beltholder Paulie Malignaggi in Malignaggi's hometown of Brooklyn.

Welterweight Devon Alexander says that his fists will do the talking against IBF titleholder Randall Bailey on Oct. 20 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Amir Khan said he and trainer Virgil Hunter "discussed the fact that I am an offensive fighter, but now it is time to be a smart fighter, to win fights with my brain."

Brooklyn's Paulie Malignaggi is part of a championship legacy that includes Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Michael Moorer, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and Zab Judah.

Former junior welterweight beltholder Amir Khan will attempt to end a two-bout losing streak against unbeaten prospect Carlos Molina on Dec. 15 in Los Angeles.

Called an "old-assed fighter" by Devon Alexander's trainer, Kevin Cunningham, IBF welterweight titleholder Randall Bailey said Cunningham's "talking is going to end up in an ass whooping for" Alexander.

Amir Khan's first bout since his upset loss to Danny Garcia will be against Southern California-based  junior welterweight Carlos Molina on Dec. 15 in a Showtime-televised bout from the L.A. Sports Arena in Los Angeles.

Undefeated 154-pound contender Austin Trout on his size advantage against Miguel Cotto: "We agreed that if we need to, we can definitely push this little dude around."

Three-division titlewinner Miguel Cotto is considered to be among the biggest and most successful New York City draws in boxing's history.
