If you could make just one fight this year what would it be?

[whiskey]

A heavyweight unification is on the way. Another fight i want to see is Pac-Marquez 2 which is already signed and sealed.

My pick is Cotto-Mayweather

[joony]

i dont really care for mayweather vs. anyone to be honest.

i'd rather see cotto-margarito or cotto-williams instead.

Those fights almost surely would be more entertaining. However the way i look at it Mayweather and Cotto are #1 and #2 at welter. I'd like to see them have a showdown. Not as crowd friendly, but the style contrast is interesting.

[Mitchell Kane]

Well, Mayweather-Cotto is the most obvious one so I'll avoid that and say Hatton-Witter.

Two other fights I'd make: Kessler-Bute and Dzinziruk-Forrest.

One rematch I'd make: Williams-Margarito II.

And the one fight I wouldn't make: Klitschko-Povetkin.

[KaukipRrr]

Margarito - Mayweather, would be nice. Unless Margarito is the same as Hatton, he's already the same as Baldomir.

klitschko and peter could very well be 1 and 2 at heavy. i do not care to see them fight again.

plus, i dont rule out the possibility of margarito or williams beating cotto.

[Mitchell Kane]

Why?

Because he's only had 15 pro fights and because despite their ages (only about 3 years apart), there's a vast experience different.

It should be remember that Klitschko turned pro after winning gold in the '96 Olympics and Povetkin didn't do it until after the '04 Olympics.

I think it's the best fight in the division for years to come...but it's not ready yet.

[Ugotabe Kidding]

Wlad - Chagaev would be great.

Also it would be nice to see the p4p #1 Calzaghe in action. In fact I am waiting for the Hopkins bout eagerly

[Erratic]

Mayweather-Cotto easily.

It would have DRAMA like Floyd-Hatton but w/MORE Exchanges...Cotto WOULDN'T Allow Floyd to STINK the Joint Out...

[cupey alto]

Since Tito was robbed of a victory against Roy, I'd like to see him fight Miranda, then move down to fight Duddy then Pavlik.

[Nobleart]

Won't happen but I'd like to see Mayweather vs. Williams. It could end up like Mayweather/Corrales for all I know but I am just curious as hell to see this.

[Tam Tam]

Sakata v Calderon

[Hut*Hut]

Cotto-Mayweather (by far the most historically significant fight out there)

failing that, Mayweather-Williams

[Double L]

Cotto/Margarito

and

PBF/Williams on the under-card vying for a shot at the champion (winner of the main event).

u are funny....wait which one is the main event? :dunno:

[Double L]

PBF/Williams in on the under-card. So it's not the main event.

If Williams wins, and Cotto beats Margarito, then Williams is next in line. However, if Margarito wins, then Williams becomes the recognized champion with Margarito #2. Then they'd have a rematch and we'd finally get to see who the best welter-weight in the world is. Can you imagine that?

[V10]

PBF/Williams in on the under-card. So it's not the main event.
:lol:

Anyways, Floyd-Cotto by far.

Both unbeaten, the contrasts of styles and arguably the 2 best fighters in the world (Floyd the clear #1 and Cotto a top 5 Lock IMO)

You are too funny dude. Floyd won't be fighting on any undercards especially with Cotto as the main event. Floyd is THE champ. Cotto would be on Floyd's undercard.

Cotto vs. Mayweather is the REAL MAIN EVENT....


but just for shits and giggles..why is MARGARITO the champion fighting in the main event...if he got beat by PAUL WILLIAMS...? :dunno:

shouldn't it be COTTO vs. WILLIAMS? main event....

Margarito can fight Jose Luis Castillo on the undercard. :lol:

[CleanYourClock]

Mayweather-Cotto easily.

Larry Holmes / George Foreman or Leonard / Hearns III

Larry Holmes / George Foreman or Leonard / Hearns III

How about J.C. Chavez Sr. against his son?

Thanks for reminding me , there is still another Chavez/Camacho fight that should be made ...

Pavlik versus Calzighe. At a catch weight.

I, like Ugo can live with old man Hops taking on Calzighe.

I don't think Cotto is ready for Mayweather.

no jew...we need to send you to concentration camp....:nono: Mayweather isn't ready for COTTO...the last few fights Cotto has been getting ready for the showdown against Mayweather.....

fighting Judah and Mosley..to fast..somewhat accurate guys...

Hatton wasn't ready for Mayweather..he never fought anyone as fast..not even close.....and the most accurate guys he fought were Tszyu and Collazo...two fight where he struggle.....and probably lose of of 'em....:nono:

[r o o s t e r]

cotto-floyd
slappy-pavlik
pac-somebody
hatton-witter (for brits)

[meetthefeebles]

Hatton v Witter is the one I'd personally like to see, though I agree entirely with those saying that the most important fight of the year would be Cotto v Mayweather.

Either would do me just fine...:popcorn:

[*Z*]

Pavlik vs Abraham.

Calzaghe vs Roy I'm pretty certain Calzaghe wins, but I'd still like to see it.

Kessler vs Tarver/Dawson/Johnson/Hopkins To see how good he really is.

[Xplosive]

In terms of action I'd love to see Diaz-Katsidis, and Cotto-Margarita. And the great thing is both those matchups are likely to happen sometime this year.

I'd also love to see Calz-Pavlik like many others.

But obviously, the BIGGEST fight to be made in the sport right now is w/o question Mayweather-Cotto.

I like Cotto, hes one of my favorites but in those gaps when he is loading up to throw Mayweather will murder him and control him. Cotto needs faster footwork, it has nothing to do with handspeed.

I see Cotto's speed and skill are still underrated. :lol:

I remember that was the case against Mosley. Mosley was supposed to be faster than him too until they steped in the ring. :popcorn:

[Xplosive]

Pavlik-Abraham.

Pavlik will expose that smurf before the year is out. His hit list is Taylor, Duddy, then Abraham. They'll all get it in 08.

War Pavlik!

Hatton-Roy at 170

It's not an issue of speed or skill. Cotto is probably almost as fast as Mayweather and the things he does well he is as skilled. The problem is that when Cotto sets up he steps in from a distance and telegraphs. At this distance Mayweather will counter him all night.

Cotto would need to close that gap a lot quicker. Cotto is a methodical plodder like Louis.... a lot of the great punchers were/are. He takes his time and cuts the ring down slowly. He is incredibly gifted at doing this and smart enough not to chase the opponent but to walk him down. But Mayweather sets up for the counter in this space and Miguel does not have the defensive capability to deal with Mayweather's straight counter punching. Mayweather will find him between the gloves all night... I think Mayweather might KO him actually.

Miguel may get a few chances to rush in like Hatton did, bit Hatton is miuch faster with his feet in closing this gap and about as strong as Cotto. Cotto is a much better puncher than Hatton but he needs faster feet to get near Mayweather. I don't see it happening.

Dsimon, you are right on

mark my words

if this fight happens FLoyd will KO Cotto! Cotto as you said telegraphs.. he is good no doubt, maybe even underrated but his style.. Floyd would pick him apart!!!

I'd say Henry akinwande vs David Izon:lol:
