    Kirkland/Angulo rematch - there's simply no way this fight isn't more competitive than the first, and most likely, just as entertaining. Still, I understand if Kirkland decides instead to pursue a bigger money fight.

    Cotto/Canelo - just a perfect match-up. And not all that out of reach if Cotto leaves Top Rank.

    JMM/Rios - this'd be a classic mesh of styles, with Rio's short and accurate punches a possibly rare solution for JMM's countering abilities.

    PBF/Pacquiao - there can be no other for either of these guys.

    Mares/Donaire - I'd settle for Mares/Moreno, but think that a Donaire/Mares fight is the best there is at 118.

    Khan/Maidana II - I still think this is the best fight to be made at 140. A Bradley/Khan fight would've been tedious. I'd settle for Maidana/Mathysse though.

    All of the above AND:

    Vitali vs Seth Mitchell and Deontay Wilder
    Povetkin vs Haye
    Cleverly vs Shumenov {in the works apparently}
    Khan vs Brook
    DeGale vs Groves II {preferably European/British Unification}
    Fury vs Price

    Povetkin needs to get real if you ask me. The guy was actually going to face Holyfield? As for Haye, normally I'd be opposed to his ever fighting again given what he did against Wlad. But I think Povetikin, with his work-rate and hand-speed, would be up to the task of giving Haye the kind of beating we all hoped Wlad would've.

    Who is Brook? What's his first name at least so I can look him up on boxrec?

    I don't know about Price. What's his first name?

    I'd rather see:

    Rios/Maidana: WAR
    Cotto/JCC Jr.
    Canelo/Kirkland
    Nonito/Mares

    JCC Jr. is too big for Cotto. That'd be horrible if that fight got made. People would overrate the hell out of Jr. just because he beat a welterweight who he would no doubt out-weight by 15 pounds on fight night.

    Angulo took SUCH a one sided beating against Kirkland, that I have no interest in a rematch.

    Angulo could pace himself better (not easy considering the pace Kirkland forces), but he still wont have any defense, and he'll still be slower than a slug. As long as Kirkland came into a rematch in the same shape, I think he'd thrash Angulo again.

    The top 2 matchups I wanna see at 154 are:

    Cotto-Canelo & Kirkland-Lara.

    Yup! I get the same impression.

    Angulo should fight Wolak. THATS a winnable fight for Perro.

    Wouldn't bother looking up Kell Brooks record unless you're familiar with the Lithuanian boxing scene
