That's not a bad list at all. I added some at the smaller weights. And I rather see O'Neil Bell fight the winner of Haye-Enzo at Cruiser.

That's actually a decent list as is......i'm not as much into who fights who as much as just plain ole good fights in general.

These are what i'd like to see.

HW Klitschko v Peter/Maskaev winner
LHW Green v Tarver
SMW Mundine v Bute
MW Pavlik v Abraham
JMW None
WW PBF v Cotto
JWW Malignaggi v Hatton
LW Casamayor/Katsidis winner v Diaz
SFW Pac v Guzman
FW John Linares
SBW Caballero v Ponce II

Well I made it to either figure out who really is the best in each division or just because it would be a good match up. And those are the big issues in boxing #1 the best rarely fight each other because no one wants to take a chance or someone passes time with a journeyman with a bad style for them...it would be much better to just go ahead and fight the best out there and let the chips fall where they may #2 the style match ups are usually ugly when they do meet up.

I know Adamek just moved up to cruiser but I wouldn't be surprised if he could actually do well there, good enough to win a belt.

175: Chad Dawson - Adrian Diaconu

168: Jeff Lacy(Provided he looks good in his comeback) - Jermain Taylor

160: Kelly Pavlik - Winky Wright

154: Vernon Forrest - Cory Spinks

147: Miguel Cotto - Floyd Mayweather Jr.

140: Ricky Hatton - Herman Ngoudjo

Bell's time has passed. He's a heck of a puncher, but I've always felt his skills were limited. I'd rather see Cunningham or Godfrey fight the winner of Enzo/Haye - or the loser if Haye wins and moves up to HW.

Godfrey is supposed to be pretty good as well as BJ Flores
