Theres alot to be done up there nobody really has a chokehold.

What do you mean?
Purse-offers for Kessler-Andrade should be handed in today. Fight should be in march or april latest. It's all on scedule.
If Andrade moves up now, it's because he doesn't wanna fight Kessler

Golden boy promotions have been saying it looks like he was going to step up in weight because he'd been waiting so long for his mandatory bout with kessler...
Now i know that andrade wants to fight him...
If he's dropped hopes for kessler its because he's sick of the waiting and he may have had trouble making weight..If he really wanted to duck kessler he wouldnt have hung around for so long ..
He won the eliminator in april...For what was then beyers wbc title.. Then beyer fought bika..
Hooked up with kessler in october.. The bout might not have had to happen yet.. Or perhaps its not mikkel's fault and the wbc's that they havnt enforced the bout but the bout should have at least had a date put to it by now... Im not entirely certain what librado's camp plans on doing with it though..

What the fuck happened to Andre Ward I was really impressed with him the last time I saw him on HBO then he just disappeared. BTW, sometimes I hate on Amir Khan, but the guy's handspeed alone will ensure that he will be undefeated with a title in a year or a year and a half's time.

Chavez jr needs to step up the quality of opponents before he can have any kind of break out year. He will continue fighting bums this year.

Ward & Hearns need more experience they wont make much noise for another year or 2.

Pavlik has an HBo date comin up & dawson has the Showtime title fight. I think Dawson may beat Adamek. I agree with Dawson but Pavlik hasnt shown to much yet. I wanna see Pavlik in with a guy that can punch & see how his chin holds up.

Good points bro cc!!

I really taken a liking to rey bautista...

And although its taken a short while...I have come round to the idea of collazo..He was mighty well hidden before he gave my man ricky a close fight...

I think he fares well against mosely in all fairness..
And if he pulls that off..There will be lots of fighters in a fresh welterweight division for luis to take a fight with...Plus maybe he could get his hands on the vacant wbc title..?

Thanks bro cc, did Floyd drop his belt? Or do you mean Oscar's belt? Has Collazo v Mosley been confirmed as 147?

Collazo v Mosley is all signed up I believe for Feb 10th but I haven't heard a weight class. I can't wait for the fight too man, an intresting match up. Has Mosley faded enough for Luis to cash in is the question because at this day and age with shane's style being so reliant on reactions sooner or later he surely he will come unstuck, and someone with the strength, speed, toughness, skills and tenacity of Luis Collazo could be the one to do it.

I forgot to mention Nonito Donaire, this kid is unbelievable to watch. He's been on a few big undercards and looks to be a very big talent. Its like watching a pinoy, super flyweight Gatti.

Its gona be a real second test for mosely..He has already proved himself but he's gona have to show he can go back to his welter/lightweight self...
At lightweight he sparked em all....
At welter he took out oscar..But got dethroned by vernon forrest..
At light middle he got a gift against oscar.. Beat by winky twice and was down when he stopped vargas the first fight.. and pulled out some good stuff the second..
But at the higher weights he seems to be narrow minded..Be flat footed and throw one punch at a time and keep his power..Or move around and throw fast combo's with no weight in his punches...

Collazo has shown something in the hatton fight where around the fourth or so hatton would try to crowd but collazo fought real nice moving backwards.. And when he got some confidence he looked good for a couple of rounds.. i hope that at lower weights shane can be fast but have some weight in his hands..If he cant luis has his number..
Peace

I seen him twice. He's got talent. But that defense needs improvement. Another good prospect is Alexis Camacho. He's a welterweight with a big punch.

I am surprised many fans haven't mentioned Miguel Cotto. By the end of the year, Miguel could be the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. His next three fights should be: Urkal, Margarito, and Mayweather
