Thread: Fights you want to see in 2009

The reason i say 2009 is because everybody seems to be scheduled for fights on september-december. So list away and say how will they end.

Some of the domestic fights this year proved better thanb the superfights (Mitchell - Johanson for instance.)

If boxing continues with the quantity, it can't help but produce quality.

Calzaghe: Pavlik will make me a happy bunny

Williams must wait his turn like all the rest, He had the chance to rematch Margarito. Both Williams and Goofy Goosen scoffed at the idea . Now they can wait till Tony is ready he's in the drivers seat now

Yes, thats a good call.

Hatton: Pac is another one that could happen.

I really hope Pac can do something special against Oscar but that size difference sucks.

I also want to see Toney work his way at a final title shot and against any of the holders. Not exactly a super fight but one that would hold my attention.

hatton vs witter, jmm vs pacman 3, pavlik vs kessler/froch.

all great fights but the 1 i want to see the most is pavlik vs abraham both are undefeated have titles and have very strong power and heart. abraham fought with a broken jaw for 8 rounds and pavlik gets knocked down sometimes but manages to knock his opponent out later on in the fight. if the fight should happen il be rooting for kelly

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Diaz
Juan Manuel Marquez vs Joan Guzman
Ricky Hatton vs Timothy Bradley
David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko
Kelly Pavlik vs Chad Dawson
Lucian Bute vs Mikkel Kessler
Andre Berto vs Shane Mosley
Juan Manuel Lopez vs Israel Vasquez

There fights i think could realistically happen Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham won't happen with Pavlik moving up to Light Heavyweight

its only for the bhop fight after that he said himself its not permanent he wants to fight abraham sometime at the begining of the year and its pretty easy for him to go up and down from 175 to 160 because its his natural weight and he is still young enough to do it

Sorry but i disagree theres no way he will move down 15 pounds and its not healthy to do so and when he fights Arthur Abraham whos left at Middleweight division ? then he will have to move up again and that will be even worse i would have liked to have seen Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham but its looks unlikely now unless Abraham moves up...........

And with the prospect of Kelly Pavlik getting a fight with Joe Calzaghe if he beats Roy Jones Jr theres no way in hell he will even consider Arthur Abraham.

hhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa calzaghe fight pavlik please he aint that crazy his dad wont let him go near pavlik after what he did to gary but oh how i wish that fight would happen but not likley everybody already knows the outcome of that fight. pavlik by KO

Also I guess you have to look at what Pavlik is coming in at in the B-Hop he might come in at what is natural to him like 166 or 168 which isn't all that much to drop back down to 160. I think if Pavlik comes in at 175 for the fight he will stay up there and probably give Dawson a run for his money.

I also want to see Toney work his way to one last title shot Miles. Being a long time Toney supporter I would love for him to walk away from the sport with HW title.

I know it won't happen because Miranda has been shitting the bed as of late, but I wouldn't mind seeing Hopkins fight him. Mainly because after he pronounced Miranda the future of the middleweight division Pavlik handed him his head. Now that he fights at 168 he's right around the corner from Hopkins. I'd love to see what kind of trash-talking Hopkins does more so than the fight itself.

Juan Diaz vs. Pac
Vernon Forrest/Sergio Mora vs. Oscar De La Hoya
RJJ vs. Winky Wright
Chris Arreola vs. David Haye
Jonathan Banks vs. Chazz Witherspoon
Andre Dirrell vs. Andre Ward (FOTY IMO)
Ronald Hearns vs. Julio Caesar Chavez Jr.
Sam Peter vs. Wladimir Klitschko II
James Toney vs. Nikolai Valuev (I know it'd be freakshow of the year, but imagine how deep Valuev would have to bend to hit him)
Taurus Sykes vs. Jameel McCline (SIKE!)
