junior welterweight

A On Saturday night, a blown up junior welterweight defeated a much larger super middleweight and achieved a historical feat that may never be surpassed: eight titles in eight weight divisions.A After Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines dismantled Antonio Margarito of Mexico, he proceeded to his locker room at Cowboys Stadium.

When pound-for-pound king and Filipino boxer Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao decimated British junior welterweight Ricky "Hitman" Hatton on May 2, 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, rap moguls Jay-Z and P Diddy were at ringside to witness the second round knockout.

Former junior welterweight champion and popular British boxer Ricky "Hitman" Hatton is likely to retire from the sport for good.

Undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, 26, dominated former lightweight champion Nate Campbell for three rounds, and the latter got stopped on cuts on the third round.

Bradley improved his record to 25-0. Possible match-ups for him in the future include Victor Ortiz, Juan Diaz, Marcos Maidana, Amir Khan, and Ricky Hatton.

The fight that most boxing fans anticipated is official. Top Rank promoter Bob Arum announced on Monday that IBO and Ring Magazine junior welterweight champion, and current top pound for pound fighter, Filipino Manny Pacquiao will face off against WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico.
