British fights I hope happen

Just sat at work bored and though I'd run off a few fights I'd like to see happen in the near future.

Haye v Thompson II,---- Haye KO5
Calzaghe v Woods,---- Calzaghe PTS
Dann v Lockett,---- Lockett KO6
Alexander v Macklin,---- Macklin KO4
Moore v Macklin, ---- Moore PTS
Arthur v Johanneson, ---- Johanneson KO5
Morris v Foster, ----- Morris WPTS

Be good to see Alexander fight someone who will come at him and try and make a fight of it as i'm sure Macklin would. Be interesting to see how he reacts when Wayne catches him although Wayne does look vunrable.
Which is why I can't understand SN's matchmaking

Would probably prefer Moore v Alexander though

I see what you are saying but I have to admit some reservations in that Thompson is getting old and been inactive of late and is it wise putting him back in with a young puncher like Haye at this stage in his career?

If it does happen I hope Carl Thompson is very well paid.

Here are some I'd like to see.

Williams vs Dann - Williams PTS

Arthur vs Harrison - Arthur TKO 9

Lockett vs Rhodes (on the fence)

Haye vs Maccrinelli (not sure)

Kevin Anderson vs Eamonn Magee - Magee PTS

Barnes vs Lenny Daws - Daws PTS

Foster vs Morris - Morris PTS

Burns vs Docherty - Burns PTS

McCullough vs Hunter - McCullough PTS.

That is my way of thinking, I want Thompson to get well paid. Its the biggest fight out there for him. Haye wants it as well, to try and get revenge.

Forgot Haskins vs Robinson and Cook vs Harrison.

Also would like to see Barnes vs Thaxton.

Hunter - Dunne

I really don't want Haye to fight Thompson just for the point of getting revenge, the only reason i would put Haye back in with Thompson is if Thompson was higher ranked than Haye in any of the major sanctioning bodies. I dont know how the rankings look but i would guess haye is higher then Carl.

pretty sure i heard the same sort of comments before there first fight.thompson was very old then.ok,maybe that makes him ancient now!

Speaking of Ben Dunne, surely a fight with McCoullough is a natural.... Both have big (ish in Dunne's case) profiles stateside and it would pack any stadium in Ireland.

Could be one for the new Landsdowne road, a real passing of the torch fight.... But would the torch actually pass.

I assume you mean Jamie rather than Alex topper?

Nope, Carl is going to do a number on Alex Arthur.
I've not been impressed with Arthur of late, and I think that Johanneson will be to strong for him. I know that Carl has that bad 1 round loss on his record, but I think he's more focused now and punching harder.

thaxton v earl barker v small spartacus v oakey haye v thompson moore v macklin dann v lockett

KOJOE90 · Post by **KOJOE90** » 06 Apr 2006, 13:55

Haye vs Maccarinelli
Limond vs Burns.

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 06 Apr 2006, 15:26

Another fight that I thought was impossible due to weight - but they seem to be pretty close in weight now.

Wayne McCullough vs Damean Kelly.

Old bones Ian · Post by **Old bones Ian** » 06 Apr 2006, 15:46

How about Michael Jones v Wayne Alexander, that fight could end in many different ways

steve689 · Post by **steve689** » 07 Apr 2006, 17:02

I would back Jones, he would outbox Alexander at range, Alexander is limited in my eyes and only packs a big punch with little else. Jones has the reach and could use his jab to keep Alexander off, i think he also packs enough of a dig to have Alexander vulnerable.

yep, but could you see Jones standing up to an Alexander right?
I can see this one going 6 round win for Jones, who ends the fight with body shots.
Or Alexander bounces a right off Jones' chin and its good night,
