This story comes in two parts over a two-day period. Late yesterday, BATB learned that Dusty Harrison's bout versus undefeated Marcus Robinson on August 27 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, CA had been cancelled. Reportedly, Robinson (3-0) turned down the contest.
Now comes word that the entire card has been cancelled. Fightnews.com reports that Robert Guerrero, who was scheduled to face Marcos Maidana in the main event for the vacant WBA Junior Welterweight title (now that Amir Khan is a SUPER champion {hoo boy}) suffered a shoulder injury in training. The injury forced the card's cancellation.
The other big loser in this situation is undefeated Brandywine, MD heavyweight Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell, who was slated to make his HBO debut on this card against Mike Mollo in a 10-round contest. No word if the bout will be rescheduled.

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
“A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.”
To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is, a dissatisfaction with self.
Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.
Envy shoots at others and wounds itself. You need to leave the young man alone.
Here are the 10 most influential people in boxing.
1. Bob Arum, chairman, Top Rank – Top Rank has the best stable of fighters and is by far the most innovative. If Arum doesn’t like the contact offered by Showtime or HBO, he’ll spend the money to broadcast the fight on his own, Latin Fury and Pinoy Power to name just a few. We’ve all seen how Arum spins stories so his team can look good, and you can strongly argue that he controls the boxing media.
2. Oscar De La Hoya, promoter, Golden Boy Promotions – The Golden Boy is the most powerful individual former boxer in the sport. He’s the head of Golden Boy Promotions, which, along with Top Rank, is one of the game’s two leading promotional companies. De La Hoya pretty much gets what he wants when it comes to television dates, venues and opponents.
3. Ross Greenburg, president, HBO Sports – HBO are the best broadcasters in boxing, simple as. Greenburg controls the budget, which is four times larger than their closest rival. This allows Greenburg to choose whatever fights he wants to air on HBO.
4. Richard Schaefer, CEO, Golden Boy Promotions – Schaefer is Oscar De La Hoya’s right hand man and has proven to be one of the best negotiators in the game. He’s one of the reasons Golden Boy Promotions are as successful.
5. Floyd Mayweather Jr., boxer – Mayweather argues that he’s the pound-4-pound king, which is unclear as of now, but he is definitely the biggest draw in the sport. As he charismatically says, “all roads lead to Floyd Mayweather.”
6. Al Haymon, manager – Haymon handles Mayweather’s career, giving him the best options for the least risk. He seems to have healthy connections with HBO, which not many managers and promoters can say in the game today.
7. Ken Hershman, vice president of Showtime sports – Hershman doesn’t have the budget Greenburg has, but some might argue he does a better job. The Super 6 Boxing Classic has earned him the highest respect from fans, easily making him one of the most influential men in the sport without mentioning other attributes.
8. Manny Pacquiao, boxer – Pacquiao has risen to become a box office hit, recognised as the best boxer on the planet at this point in time. His influence can be seen in his stranglehold in negotiations, with his contractual demands displaying his dominance over fighters. His large fanbase also gives him power.
9. Bruce Trampler, Top Rank Matchmaker – One of the masterminds behind Pacquiao’s rise is Trampler. His mapped plans for any Top Rank fighters are usually the best option possible, and Pacquiao is a prime example.
10. Jose Sulaiman, WBC President – The impact Sulaiman can have on promoters by just making a stance is ridiculous. Nobody appreciates his work to the extent of others on the list, but his reward for keeping the WBC afloat is power.
Knocking on the door: Cameron Dunkin, Manager; Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions; Don King, Chairman, Don King Productions; Larry Merchant, HBO broadcaster; Wilfred Sauerland, Sauerland promoter

Jealousy and envy make you bitter and twisted, so much so that person cannot believe the truth staring them in the face.
Have a nice day.
Do yourself and all those you love a favor...find a way to put jealousy out of your life. You will find that the things in your life that are so messed up will start to turn themselves around. Your life will become easier to live. It won't make things perfect, but it will make them easier. After all, you have better things to do with your time then to be jealous of things you can't change anyway.
I cannot tell who this is, but I can give you the address where it's coming from.

Hey Tyrone, I never even seen a tape of such sparring. Are they in camp together now? If so, do you know where? Are you still training Chop? Tell Chop we all wish him luck and to keep up the good work.
Ham said he fought him twice in the pros. never made it out of the first round. late 70's
