Thread: Fights you want to see a fighter take that would at least make you respect them.

Every top fighter has their detractors. What fight would make you think more highly of a fighter? What fight could a fighter take that win or lose, would at least convince you to respect him? For example, fans who don't like PBF say he should fight a true welterweight. Fans who don't like Pavlik say that he should have fought Abraham. Fans who don't like Pacquiao may think he needs to settle the score with Marquez.

I'll start it off: I would like to see Allan Green fight Sakio Bika. Beating Sakio Bika would do a lot to legitimize Allan Green for me. I like him as a fighter, but I have difficulty arguing with the sentiment that he needs to step it up.

Zsolt Erdei vs any other top 5 Lightheavy.
Felix Sturm vs Winky Wright or Kelly Pavlik
Andre Berto vs Luis Collazo II
Vlad vs Vitali

Good call on Zsolt. I have a feeling he'll retire without ever facing a truly elite light heavyweight.

Completely agree or at least someone in the top twenty-thirty.

Mayweather vs one of the best at his weight class would be interesting

Bute, one of my favorite, will have, if he passes Andrade, fight at least one of the 2 finalists of the 6 men tournament

Margarito vs an Anvil

Mayweather vs(assuming the fight with Pacquiao happens) IN ORDER: the winner of Paul Williams-Kelly Pavlik, Shane Mosley, and Miguel Cotto.

Khan Vs. Prescott, Bradley, Holt, Maidana, Ortiz, even Torres

Donaire Vs. Darchinyan II, Montiel, Hasegawa, Gorres

Haye Vs. Arreola, Wlad, Vitali, even Peter

Diaz Vs Malignaggi II

Mayweather v Shane
Amir v Pac
Ruiz v Tua II
BHop v Dawson

Mundine v Bika
Mundine has talent but fights nobodys i would love to see him fight bika.
Would be a top aussie pay per view

Ruiz vs Tua? i mean... even making a fight against whoever to get respect, is that possible to get any in the very special and unique case of Ruiz?

given how brutally he was KO'd lol i think he'd have to get props for even daring to go back in the ring against the beast that is Tua lol

bute-andrade has already been made, props to lucien for taking the rematch

collazo deserves a rematch with berto just to set the record straight

cintron should give angulo another crack

floyd-mosley needs to happen for the sake of the sport
