    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

    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.

    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.

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    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.

    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.

    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

    It Wouldn't B the 2nd Coming of Gatti-Ward, but REED Thinks Floyd-Cotto would B Relatively Fan Friendly...

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

    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.

    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.

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

    failing that, Mayweather-Williams

    Cotto/Margarito

    and

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

    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?

    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....
