Ok, we've been royally spoilt of late. More or less every week I've seen a fight upcoming that makes me salivate. Both what's on the coming soon list now?

I cant see anything i care about. Calzaghe vs Hopkins is a retirement / merchandising exercise. But then, there's nothing else.

Dear boxing gods, please help. If the future doesnt look brighter I might need to focus on football and the Flat season for a couple of months.

Miranda v Kessler
Judah v Mosley
Taylor v Mayorga
Cotto v Margarito/Cintron
Pacquiao v Diaz


Oh, and DLH v Forbes :lol:

OK, maybe the Cotto fight and I'll accept the Kessler fight as the filler. :D

Woods v Tarver is going to be a bloody good fight - regardless of the result.

I'm more interested in Dawson v Johnson just to see how good this Chad really is. I expect Clinton to win comfortably.

Both are at the tail-end of the careers, but Woods has more left and wins comfortably for me

Ricky will prove he's the best in the world
