Floyd Mayweather's victory over Oscar de la Hoya was a star-making performance, yet many seem to disagree with the final decision. That makes it a good fight to revisit and re-score. There was also a small matter of Oscar de la Hoya's recent "documentary" to discuss. "The Golden Boy" recently debuted on HBO's streaming service, and might figure into the Mayweather-De la Hoya discussion more than previously realized.

Terence Crawford is a magnificent fighter. No need to qualify anything or compare him historically to any fighter from the past. He may truly stand alone as the greatest fighter of his era, and his domination of Errol Spence, Jr. sure seems to back that idea up.

Back in the 1950s, the heavyweight division was more or less held hostage by Floyd Patterson's trainer and manager Cus D'Amato after Rocky Marciano retired.

If there's one thing we love on the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, it's boxing history. We couldn't help but relive a bit more early 90s heavyweight action, this time between Mike Tyson and Donovan "Razor" Ruddock. It was a funky time for the heavyweight division.

You wouldn't know it now, but in the late 1990s and going into 2001, "Prince" Naseem Hamed was a superstar in the U.K. and on the verge of really breaking into the U.S. boxing scene.

The mid- and late-1990s brought on some hard-charging culture in the U.S., and boxing wasn't exempt. The heavyweight division went through plenty of changes throughout the 90s, until finally it seemed Riddick Bowe stood alone as likely the best around. Then the Andrew Golota fights happened in 1996. There were brawls in the ring, melees outside of it, fouls, historic moments and more. Two fights acted as a sort of mirror for boxing and its fans, and many couldn't turn away.

Heavyweight boxing is considered the sport's crown jewel or pinnacle, but fight fans are used to sacrificing activity rate and sometimes nuance for the chance at seeing a big heavyweight taken down. Ike Ibeabuchi and David Tua combined to throw 1,730 punches against one another in 1997, however, and it was the kind of fight fans still talk about 25 years later. A relatively sparse crowd in Sacramento watched as Ibeabuchi and Tua beat each other up.

First things first: Mills Lane was an honest referee and true boxing icon who will be missed, and a brief tribute was necessary. As for the boxing history, sometimes fighters can't get past a certain opponent or have serious difficulty with a particular style.

Such was the case with Evander Holyfield's fun heavyweight championship defense over "Smokin'" Bert Cooper.
