Hmm, I'd go:

1) Hatton-Witter

2) Woods-Calzaghe

3) Harrison-Arthur

4) Williams-Skelton II

5) Haye-Thompson II

I'd go along with Manos's 1+2.

Maybe a bigger one at cruiserweight would be Haye-Enzo? I know there's unsettled business with Thomson, but with the latter's poor outing last time I think Haye-Enzo would be much more entertaining and competative

For the ITV factor I go.

1) Calzaghe vs Woods
2) Hatton vs Witter
3) Arthur vs Harrison
4) Calzaghe vs Froch
5) Nelson vs Maccrinelli.

But there could be a monster in the next 2 years or so.

Khan vs Hatton.

You beat me to it, Khan fighting Witter in a crossroads fight to get the shot at Hatton, would be excellent.

I've been calling for this one for a while. Obviously, different promoters/TV companies mean it's not likely to happen anytime soon, but surely it's one you wouldn't want to miss a minute of. (If it lasted that long) With the right odds, I'd be tempted to lump on Enzo as well, I do think he could pull it off.......

Hatton Vs Witter and that would be even better if Hatton kept his two titles and defended them to see if Witter won his WBC one and it would be worth 15 squid then to see all 3 belts on the line.

Hatton doesn't want any of it though. :evil:

Too bad Hatton left SN Stu too as Witters not with them either. :cry:

Hatton said at a press conference today that he's still interested in a Witter fight, in fact it's one of only 3 fights that would interest him if he moved back down to 140 after the Collazo fight. Witter has to win the WBC belt first though.

Indeed, if they structure it properly Khan will become what Hatton was to Tszyu, but for Hatton - or something along those lines.

Maybe the vacant WBU belt could be on the line?

Jings crivvens. You'd need to give everyone a sedative before they take their seats so they don't die of excitement. And you'd need hawkeye to keep track of the number of punches thrown

Hatton-Khan in some years, at the moment i don“t see real big fights with real big purses over the channel (2 fighters at top world level)...., Calzaghe would murder Woods and everybody knows that.

Over here the monsterseller would be Krasniqi-Klitschko when both would hold a title. media was going nuts at the Brewster-fight...

Yes I too would love to see Haye v Enzo but the real big matches have to be Hatton and Calzaghe against Witter and Woods, sorry if that sounds like two tag teams!!

What a fabulous wishlist, wonder how many will actually happen

I went for other just because I think Enzo vs Haye, with the right marketing, could be great to see.

I feel the time for Witter vs Hatton has passed. However Arthur vs Harrison could be the biggest north of the border scrap for many years.

Calzaghe Woods is the most lickly Witter Hatton is the one I'd most like to see.

Harrison v Arthur would be great and could save on the undercard. All the pissed up fans from Glasgow and Edinburgh could fill that.

:lol: :lol: it would be a good fight to watch, just the Harrison being a freak of nature thing is a slite problem.
