Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez II on March 15

I won't post the link because Cupey might get mad, but it's supposed to take place on 3/15 at the Mandalay Bay.

 

Great fight that absolutely should have been made.

:bears: :bears:

 

2008 is actually shaping up to surpass, if not blow away, 2007 and they're only three months into the year's schedule.

 

If this is true. :bears:

 

Agreed.

Hopefully Vasquez-Marquez III is made next year...if it ends up in March it would make it one of the best months for boxing in recent years.

 

as far as Vazquez-Marquez III, Showtime's already selling it like it's a done deal (March 1), and that all they need to do is finalize a location - fittingly enough, the main issue heading into the other two bouts.

 

throught which fights jake?

 

Kudos to BOTH Men...

Hopefully Manny Pac Trains in AMERICA & Not the Phillipines...

As Mr. Miyagi would Say, Manny Pac Needs "FOCUS" to Win the RE..

huh?

 

I've been waiting years for this :cheer:

 

I think he's asking what fights in 2008 are set to blow away 2007.

 

Diaz-Katsidis
Williams-Cintron
Peter-Maskaev
Pavlik-Taylor II
Wlad-Ibragimov
Vazquez-Marquez III
Marquez-Pacquiao II

That's in a 2-month span from mid January to mid-March, with "only" two of the fights on PPV

For sideshow entertainment value, there's also Jones-Trinidad.

Cotto-Clottey figures to land sometime in mid-March, about as competitive a fight as you can ask for a showcase slot. (though its co-feature, Margarito-Castillo, is more befitting of the showcase label) And also that it will lead to a Cotto-Margarito fight in June.

There also finally seems to be a push for Dawson-Tarver, possibly in mid-April (either that or Dawson-Diaconu, which I'll also gladly take).

And that we haven't even discussed what would be next for Floyd, Calzaghe, David Haye, Hatton etc...

 

Margarito/Castillo? Jose Luis?

 

si.

 

:: What?

JLC is gonna look 50 at welterweight.

 

I hadn't heard anything about this either.

 

It's in the Puerto Rican newspapers in the Cotto/Evangelista interview.

Double-Header (Cotto-Clottey & Margarito-Castillo) in March, then Cotto-Margarito in June.

If the DLH fight doesn't happen.

Peace.

 

How? Because of 1 fight? What other MEGA FIGHTS are we getting in 2008?

 

I already listed what's coming up in the 1st quarter. It's a better start to a year than I can remember in quite some time.

 

I'd agree with that, though it looks like HBO is going to be a bit more heavy-weighted this year.

 

Fucking PATHETIC, Isn't It???

Damn that is a great line up. You didn't even mention Malignaggi-Njudo.

 

Damn that is fuken great lineup. I mean we start the year off with the greatest p4p fighter of all-time fighting Tito and then everything else is just frosting on the cake. You gotta love 2008. I'll Holla 5000

 

How so?

 

:: You're like the third person to ask...READ THE REST OF THE THREAD.

 

If Hatton murders Floyd, there's going to be a huge shake up in the sport. Likely it will be Hatton/Cotto being the demanded fight unless DLH chooses to fight Hatton.

 

What about that Chagaev guy who carries the WBA belt. Who's he fighting?

 

Screw you! :tease:

2007 has...

Taylor - Pavlik: Undefeated Middleweight Champion vs Undefeated Middleweight Challenger
Calzaghe - Kessler: Two undefeated Supermiddleweight Champions
Mayweather-Hatton - Two undefeated multidivision chamion welterweight
Cotto - mosley
Barrera - Marquez
Barrera - Pacquaio 2
Mayweather - De La Hoya
Hatton - Castillo
Guzman - Soto


How THE HELL...can anyone claim that 2008 could "blow away" 2007? Please tell me something that I may be missing?:dunno:

 

Hey Gringo, where did you find the English version? :dunno:

 

Great,that means some people on here can stop beating that dead horse about Pacquiao ducking fighters
