New Jersey's infamous Tan Mom Patricia Krentcil is stepping out of the tanning booth and back into the spotlight.
Danny Garcia flickers into the spotlight more often these days. The North Philadelphia fighter should. He's earned the right. "Swift" is the junior welterweight world champion and the heir apparent to the legendary Bernard Hopkins to uphold the mantle of Philly fighters.

Before other sports matched the money and none of the danger, boxing was must-watch theater, a distillation of the rags-to-riches narrative that personified the American Dream. And Ken Norton was Exhibit A.

He'd like you to believe it. He may even convince a few out there that he's right, and they believe him. He may even believe it himself, despite the thin, diluted version of boxing today.
Alvarez and Mayweather are fighting at a catch-weight of 152 pounds, which, if you're looking for an edge, would probably point to Alvarez, the naturally larger man. But Mayweather has a way of making larger men look small.
The MGM Grand is bristling with activity. Media from all over the world fill rows of the press room, and they're all waiting for the kid from Philly whose name was once bypassed after he won amateur tournaments.
He sits there and does nothing. Like the words and all the hyperbole surrounding him doesn't exist. Like Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is impervious to Floyd Mayweather's words, taunts and anything else verbal Mayweather could find to throw at the 23-year-old Mexican junior middleweight world champ.

A year layoff. A little two-month stay in a county prison. A falling out with a rapper buddy. And apparently an injured, swollen right hand. None of it really mattered. Floyd Mayweather has always been able to blot things out when it's come to his craft.
There used to be a time when a passing wind or an ant crossing a sidewalk would set off Floyd Mayweather. It doesn't seem like it anymore.
The Philadelphia gym where former heavyweight champ Joe Frazier lived and trained has been named to the National Register of Historic Places.
