What fights do you guys think the sport needs right now?
I'm not just talking about big names either. I feel that to find stars to replace the likes of DLH and PBF, boxing needs to look at making fights within divisions to get the great fights together.
So tell me, what do you wanna see?
dela hoya - jones @ 168
calzaghe - kessler
hatton - cotto
tyson - holyfield
tyson holyfield 3? :o
Vitali vs. Valuev would be fun to watch.
i think tyson is less shot than holyfield and they could put on a good showQuote:

Mike has the power, but he is finished mentally. His career is all over at this point. The last two guys (Williams and McBride) to beat him proved that. Although I thought they were too big for him like most heavyweights now. They should make a superheavyweight division. Than the Klitchkos would not just dominate like they do. Fights I would like to see which have not been made? Tua vs. Klitchko.. Although Tua never seems to develop to the point of another title shot. Margarito moving up to 154 and fighting Wright. Taylor/Calzaghe,
a superheavyweight division is a stupid idea because there's only 10 fighters that would fit into it and most of them blow.Quote:

marques v cabellero
clottey v cotto
inkin v frock
mosely v floyd
Just a few i wouldnt mind seeing.
Hopkins - Jones jr 2 at light heavyweight before jones went to win the heavyweight title...
There was alot of talk about terry norris - felix trinidad back when he was at welterweight..
and when he did move to superwelterweight the match never happened..
Hatton- Mayweather
An in shape james toney vs Bernard hopkins is in my top 3 dream fights of all time..
They were in fact in negotionations before james fought evander holyfield..
I believe it was evander was in dealings with roy jones at the time as jones wanted the heavyweight title..
And toney and bernard were going to have a big fight..
But ruiz beat evander and negotiations between james and bernard fell apart and evander and james ended up getting it on
Actually Mayorga - Vargas is one I've wanted to see for a long time and I'm hoping recent rumours are actually real this time!
There's no chance in hell that fight won't be one helluva slugfest.
I've said this a million times, so here's a million and one, Gatti - Augustus. Another match-up just begging to be FOTY. Although better if it happened 5 years ago.
And I'm really starting to wanna see Floyd fight Taylor. Am I giving Floyd too much credit for assuming he can hang at 160? Everyone has their limit. I wanna see Floyd push right down to the core of his heart and soul. A fight at 160 would do it. And who knows, maybe a win would get him that elusive 6th.
as small as mike is, in his prime he would murder everyone in the division today...especially wladdyQuote:

If Floyd had to fight a welter, I'd want him to fight Cotto. I think he can rule the sport in time.
Vic Darchinyen vs. Jorge Arce at Flyweight is a fight I really wanna see! I think that would be an awesome fight of the year candidate.
Juan Diaz vs. Joel Casamayor just to see the two best lightweights in the world. In time, I'd love to see Diaz fight Katsidis to see who really has the power at lightweight.
Sam Peter vs. Wladimir Klitschko 2. I truly believe these are the two best heavyweights in the world. Peter had him down enought times to make you question how he didn't finish the job. He's less green now, so I think it's time we pushed the future of the sport.
calzaghe vs kessler
hopkins vs jones 2
mayweather vs hatton, cotto, mosley or margarito
taylor vs wright 2
pacquaio vs marquez 2
Rematch Winky vs JT
Do not like JT really want to see a loss on his record. Should be one already imo. Winky is the one to do it.
Wlad vs Peter 2, the only serious fight in the heavyweight division right now
Calzaghe vs Kessler, probably won't ever happen but if Joe fights Taylor instead then it's still all good with me
Taylor vs Winky 2 The first fight was great see-saw action and both fighters are left with some unfinished business. Again probably won't happen this year if at all as Winky will need to get past Hop first and Taylor will possibly look to fight someone from the 147 lbs division for his next fight as he continues his quest to get a knockout
Cotto vs Margarito This is the fight to determine who is the man at 147 (apart from Floyd) The winner would be in a great position to get a fight with Mayweather next year and finally the dollars would make sense for Floyd, only after he's beaten Oscar again though
Pacquaio vs Marquez It has to be, to see who is the man at 130 lbs
Casamayor vs Diaz Same as above, who is the man at 135 lbs
I always wish that Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier had fought ......... that fight would have been a thriller and I bet they would have both been regarded as better fighters after completing some sort of epic trilogy.
I doubt Ali remembers the fights either ;)Quote:

Winky-JT II
Miranda-JT
Calzaghe-JT
Calzaghe-Kessler
Dawson-Tarver
Dawson-Woods
PBF-Winky
PBF-JT
PBF-Mosley
Hatton-Pac
Hatton-Cotto
Pac-Marquez II
Pac-Guzman
Barrera-Marquez II
Pac-Juan Diaz
Pac-Casamayor
Juan Diaz-Casamayor
R. Marquez-Vasquez II (maybe that one's already made?)
Clottey-Margarito II
kind of random but ODH vs KT at 147

Superheavies is a good idea. Most weight classes are divided by 7 lbs or less.
I couldn't make a better list, so I just quoted Bilbo's.Quote:

Its not like hes a really boring fighter..Not the most exciting but he aint no ruiz..
And also all his opponents of late have had mad beards.. They could all take a dig!
Kessler vs. Joe
Kessler vs. Miranda
RMarquez vs. Celestino Caballero
Arce vs. Vic
JMM vs. Pac II
Cotto vs. Hatton at a catch weight between 140 & 147
Katsidis vs. Juan Diaz
Ooohh..Good choice.. Never actually thought about this one.. I'd be damned if i had to pick one there..Quote:

CC though
Hmm... thats funny. The guy who beat him was about 100 pounds lighter and 9 inches shorter. ;DQuote:

I know, but it's still not a good idea to have them in the same division. If Valuev killed someone in the ring I guarantee it would come down to his huge size advantage and the publicity would be terrible. I don't think Valuev is so skilled that his size makes him unbeatable.Quote:

Barrera v Morales IV
Calzaghe vs Reid 2 ;D
HAYE v MACCARINELLI
Good one have CC#3 on me ;DQuote:

Hatton vs Mayweather

Have CC#100 on me ;D good choice i would like to see this fight i would favour Briggs i still don't trust Wlads chinQuote:
