Can anyone think of fights they'd want to see?

Here's my list of must sees. Interestingly, things look time on the world scene (Casa stripped shocker, Baby Bull Shit stepping up for the 1st time, Freitas cashing in) but are hotting up elsewhere...

Lee Meager v Graham Earl - would be a war.
Yuri Romanov v Michael Katsidis - Romanov has come back brilliantly after narrow loss to Earl - both guarantee fireworks
Jon Thaxton v Amir Khan - Khan's a top prospect but he needs a rival!

John Thaxton vs Graham Earl.

Willie Limond vs Amir Khan (very soon).

Marco Antionio Barrera vs Julio Diaz.

Yuri Ramonov vs Katidis (good call, VM).

Freitas vs Baby Bull Diaz (its happening).

Nate Campbell vs Zahir Raheem (always wanted to see this match up over underachievers).

was thinking about Romanov v Katsidis the other day, think it would be a great fight and I think i'd favour Romanov.

Meager v Earl would be a classic and it's a shame it will never happen, would favour Earl to be just that bit tougher but would be great whilst it lasted.

Khan isn't ready for Thaxton, would like to see him face the likes of Stewart, McDonagh, Watson and Hunt next

Would like to see McDonagh v Meager and Thaxton, whats happend to him after the Gomez win? McDonagh's very durable and he looked brilliant in beating Gomez and he was a big underdog, thought that would have pushed him forward

And I dont think Khan would be ready McDonagh, McDonagh is a Lightweight

Plus he's tough and Khan wouldnt be able to blow him away, would give Khan tougher fight than people think. But Warren dosnt like putting Khan in with people his own weight does he?

McDonagh vs Khan is a good call, I think Khan will outbox Peter and win but Peter will certainly be a live one and a stoppage win would be VERY impressive.

Agree on McDonagh's career post Gomez. I thought he would have gone one to bigger fights - maybe if the fight was televised in the UK he would have done.

He deserve a chance at some of the top tenners domestically, not sure he beats them - but he warrants a fight.

Wouldn't Romanov v Katsidis be just amazing? I wouldn't judge the outcome on how each fared vs Earl. Romanov was rusty and lost a close fight - for my money perhaps the best of '06. Whereas Katsidis got a post-Romanov Earl, never quite the same again.

I'd pick Romanov to win, thanks to away wins versus Melero (another war), Vanzie and a learning loss to Earl. Both are murderous punchers.
