With it being late 08 now, I think it will be a good time to have a prediciton of who we think will be top of their respected weightclasses in a years time. Ill start with Heavyweights and work my way down.

Heavyweight: Vitali Klitschko - I think he will beat Haye and beat Gomez.

Cruiserweight: Tomasz Adamek - I think we still have a lot to see from him !! I wouldnt mind a rematch with Cunningham in 09

Lightheavyweight: Joe Calzaghe or Chad Dawson - If JC retires I have full faith we will see a new star in Dawson, its bullshit that hes fighting Tarver again but I think a match up with Hopkins or Johnson again will be very interesting.

Supermiddleweight: Mikkel Kessler or Carl Froch - This weight class is so wide open with so much talent in it. I did a post about it once about the talent booming from it, I believe 09 is going to be outstanding!

Middleweight: Arthur Abraham - One of the most underrated champions IMO, hes an awesome fighter and I believe he would beat Kelly Pavlik. If he moves up to 168 I wouldnt be surprised him beating Froch or Kessler.

Lightmiddleweight: Paul Williams - The 154 weight class will have some very interesting match ups in 09. But I really can see Paul Willams being far too much for anybody at the weight with his punchrate and speed. He will have some very tough battles, but I think Paul Williams is one of the best champions around.

Welterweight: Antonio Margartio - Im confident that Margarito can clean up 147, he has two very tough fights with Cotto and Mosley but I think hes too much for them. I wouldnt mind seeing Margarito moving up to 154 if he gets through these fights.

Lightwelterweight: Ricky Hatton - He has the second hardest fight of his career ahead of him but im confident he can beat Manny. 140 will become very interesting in 09 with so many promising fighters just one weight class below, I would be interested to see if they are tempted to move up.

Lightweight: Joan Guzman or Juan Manuel Marquez - If Guzman can make the weight im confident with his speed he would beat any fighter at 135. Technically if he fought Marquez I believe we would see a fight that could go either way, I want to see it badly! I dont think Campbell would be too interested fighting him after all of this BS that happened between them, but the match up would still be good to watch.

Superfeatherweight: Jorge Linares - After an injury packed 08 I think he will be back in 09 and show the boxing world what he is made of. Hes awesome talent and im looking foward to seeing the best from him.

Featherweight: tough call - I would like to say Chris John but he just doesnt want to leave his backyard, hes a really good fighter and hes just wasting away fighting shit fighters. Luevano is still up there but he needs to look for some big names and not just title defence fighters. There is a lot of talent in the weight class below and I wouldnt be surprised to see them move up. Gamboa is a very talented fighter, but from what I have seen maybe hes been rushed too much?

Superbantamweight: too hard to say - The top 4 fighters in the weight class are all p4p top 10 worthy IMO. Im interested to see how Vazquez and Marquez are after their wars. I have been very imperessed with Lopez and Caballero. Lopez needs a fight to go past the first round to fully judge his talent, from what I have seen he is so good. But I dont think he will beat any of the other 3 so fast. It will be a very interesting year for them and i look forward to watching this weightclass this year. De leon, Gonzalez and Molitor can still top it too.

Bantamweight: I havent really followed this weight class!

Superflyweight: Vic Darchinyan - After his loss to Donaire I think hes really worked hard to improve some of his flaws. His win against Mijares was outstanding and I cant wait for him to beat up Arce. I wouldnt mind him to fight Donaire.

Flyweight: I havent really followed this weight class!

Lightflyweight: I havent really followed this weight class!

Minimumweight: I havent really followed this weight class!






Im interested to see who you think will be top.
