fights you'd like to see in 2009 (but probably won't)

[CCCC]

guys

bit early for this one perhaps but still

Here's my list as a starter for 10, your thoughts?

Calzaghe v Froch
Mayweather v Margarito
Khan v Prescott (no way will he go near that guy again)
Witter v Hatton (I know both are not what they were, but I'd still like to see them get it on)
Vitali v Vladimir (just to make their mum cry!!!!!)
Thaxton v Khan
Berto v Williams
Lynes v Branco in England (so he can't get robbed)
Kevin Mitchell v Nicky Cook
Abraham v Pavlik (still the best two at middleweight)

[deadpan]

Vitali-Valuev
Witter-Hatton
Thaxton-Khan
Audley-Haye
Guzman-Valero
Froch-Kessler
Kimbo-Tyson
Morrissey-Mike Joyce
Vernon Kay-Bengal Tiger

[WildWaylon]

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Audley Harrison

Joe Calzaghe vs. Bernard Hopkins II

Floyd Mayweather vs. Paul Williams

I read the first two and thought this guy needs serious help, the third is an OK fight I suppose.

[WildWaylon]

Calzaghe v Froch
Mayweather v Margarito
Macca v Alexeev
Witter v Hatton
Vitali or Vladimir v Haye
Murray v Khan
Berto v Williams
Lynes v Branco
Kevin Mitchell v Nicky Cook

[DavidPayne]

Olesugun v Lynes
Witter v Hatton - I wont quit on that.
Froch v Kessler
Bradley v Hatton
Margarito v Williams II - this bout really ought to happen.
Jennings v Cotto
Pryce v a top tenner.
Rees v Khan

Haye v Chagaev
Vitali v Valuev
Abraham v Pavlik
Moore v Forrest

Bernard Hopkins v Andre Berto at 170
Oscar de la Hoya v Ivan Calderon at 145-pound catchweight

This is boxing isn't it, pick on smaller guy if it generates the money the money the money. When will viewers catch on re size mismatches, bloated elite fighters and catchweights for no championship.

And add Joe Calzaghe v Ricky Hatton why not for the money the money the money.

And add Joe Calzaghe v Ricky Hatton why not for the money the money the money.

In that case, why not Olympic champions Khan v Harrison LOL. Be a laugh that would.

[Captain Hook]

Joe Calzaghe vs. Bernard Hopkins II

Have you got jetlag?

If Calzaghe wants the P4P-ATG-#1 Tag he needs to beat Jones/Hopkins-(convincingly)/Froch/Dawson then our boy Andre Ward.

The moneys there, and he can do it all without ever fighting in the next decade.

So you want Calzaghe to fight four more times? no chance pal, though it would be nice to see those fights happen. It'll be Jones and goodbye, unless he loses or it's close with Jones and they might rematch in Cardiff.

[Captain Hook]

I want him to fight as many fights he can in 2009.

Although I agree that Jones/Hopkins/Froch all has more than a good chance stylistically...

Never happen sadly, he says this is his last fight but I've a sneaky feeling he'll have one more in Cardiff at the Millennium Stadium against Jones if it's close this weekend. He won't go near Hopkins after the Pavlik performance and Pavlik's stock has dropped. Froch doesn't bring the cash and he's beaten Kessler. The victory over Hopkins means he can sleep better without rematching him.

We'll see I guess.

[Wales]

KESSLER PAVLIK

Has anyone requested Kessler Pavlik? Both big straight punchers, could be good... providing pavlik can get couple of good wins on the back of that good hiding he got at the hands of Nrad.

[jameswilson]

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Audley Harrison

Joe Calzaghe vs. Bernard Hopkins II

Floyd Mayweather vs. Paul Williams

I read the first two and thought this guy needs serious help, the third is an OK fight I suppose.

Read his other 50 or so posts. You'll soon see he really does need help.

Just out of interest, who do you have winning?

Id say with your level of maturity there are no winners.
