With the rest of the of the year's schedule pretty much filled out and already some early talk of fights in '09, I figured it's worth taking a look at some fights you want to see next year. Williams-Margarito II is a fight that's obviously going to be high on a lot of lists, as long as they're both champions at 147. Pavlik-Abraham likely another popular choice, again with the caveat that both are holding hardware at 160. One fight I'd really like to see...Chad Dawson-Tavoris Cloud. I mentioned this over the weekend, but with light heavyweight becoming a senior's tour, it's great that there's two young talents in the division...and with Cloud being the #1 contender it makes sense. Another good fight that can reasonbly be made...Timothy Bradley and #1 contender Devon Alexander. There's a number of fighters on the cusp in this division Alexander's been one of the more talked about ones for a long time, but thanks to Don King's part-time promoter's status, he hasn't really gotten that much pub (outside of a few circles). This is an interesting pairing, as Bradley was in a similar position entering this year, and has now made a claim on the divisoin's top spot at 140. Winky Wright versus a relevant fighter. Robert Guerrero vs. anybody. Oleksandr Usyk and Vasyl Lomachenko in pro debuts. One fight I don't care to see, but figure it'll get made...DLH-Hatton. If they both win their upcoming fights, it'll probably get made and will almost undoubtedly be a huge event.
Lopez V Marquez. Hatton V Pac Calzaghe V Pavlik Vitali V Haye Malinaggi V Judah Molitor V Vazquez And for some reason I like Margarito to KO berto..
Oscar vs Retirement Hopkins vs Retirement Tarver vs Retirement Roy vs Retirement Winky vs Retirement In all seriousness though Pavlik vs Calzaghe Abraham vs Pavlik Pac vs Hatton Pac vs Valero Floyd vs Margarito Cotto vs Cintron Wlad vs Valuev Haye vs Toney Kessler vs Pavlik
Hope: Marquez vs. Pacquiao III Pavlik vs. Abraham Margarito vs. Williams II Hope not: DLH vs. anyone Hopkins vs. anyone
Wanting Pavlik/Abraham is like wanted Lockett/Pavlik. This is a mismatch and Abraham might die. Wait...what was my point.Nevermind, I guess I want to see it then.
Calzaghe-Pavlik Haye-W.Klitschko Froch-Kessler Cotto-Margarito 2 Williams-Margarito 2 Pavlik-Abraham Pacquaio-Guzman J M Marquez-Juan Diaz J M Lopez vs I Vasquez/R Marquez Hatton-Bradley hope not..... Hatton vs anyone at 147, he needs to stay at 140
He certainly does not. Getting kayo'd in less than 3 minutes does not mean that scrub deserves a rematch.
vasquez-marquez 4 and possibly 5 if marquez wins 4 margarito-martinez 2 margarito-cotto 2 dawson-cloud cloud-diaconu hatton-bailey valero-diaz valero-campbell marquez-pacquaio 3 marquez-campbell pacquaio-diaz wright-pavlik kessler-pavlik wright-abraham cotto-berto williams-cotto mares-agbeko
How about Margarito / Floyd? ... that'd be nice,.. are we allowed to have that one yet or are, Fraud groupies still?...still sort of, dont want that to happen,..for....some reason? :dunno:
You could make the arugment getting beaten clearly over 12 rounds doesn't merit a rematch either. Some called it a "schooling". ( I don't) Quintana gave the rematch to Williams. Paul could do the same.
kessler vs pavlik dawson vs hopkins (at 175 lbs like it is supposed to, not at hopkinsweight) glenn johnson vs hopkins (could be at hopkinsweight) david haye vs any klitschko juan manuel lopez vs celestino caballero de la hoya vs margarito hatton vs pacquiao (at 140 lbs) valero vs campbell Mosley vs Berto Trinidad vs Miranda (168 lbs) john duddy vs. andy lee
Are we allowed to have Margarito / Floyd yet, or.. does that cause too many fights and hissey fits? :dunno:
Retired softies who wear depends and take centrum should never be discussed in the same thread as a beast like Marge the Mullet, the hispanic career shortener:nono: Even though appealing to the real fans, when one starts out in Boxing, they never truly fathom becoming a name making millions yet ducking someone because "the risk isnt worth the reward". Such is Boxing
It's just that,.. this fight become taboo to even mention once upon a time,.. .. and every now and then I feel like I've got to ask permission just to pit them together, hypothetically.
It is a shame that it has come to this inevitable conclusion brother. I fear even when "Money" is using poli-grip to hold his dentures in place this topic will still be taboo, though I pray this is not soray:
