By Dave Sholler - If you are a glass-half-full type of person, you’ll definitely see the first six months of 2009 as a blessing.
We’ve got mega-fights like Antonio Margarito vs. Shane Mosley.
We’ve got comeback fights like Kelly Pavlik vs. Marco Antonio Rubio and Miguel Cotto vs. Michael Jennings.
And of course, we’ve got proposed bouts that make you curious like Winky Wright vs. Paul Williams.
But beneath the obvious abundance of fights early into the New Year lies a common theme. Many of these participants are teetering on a fine line of failure meets flourish. Taken one step further, many of these boxers are in “backs against the wall,” scenarios, where a loss is just as devastating as owing money on tax day.
Today, we’ll take a look at some of these boxers and identify just how badly they need to earn a victory. We’ll also clue you in on how they might pull off a win. As you read on, ask yourself what happens if they can’t muster up the energy needed to produce a win. Ask, are they worthy of another big bout or is it back to the drawing board? [details]
