So there are already quite a few wonderful fights being made but which is the one that has you most excited?
Ricky Hatton v Paulie Malignaggi.
Pavlik/Taylor or Margarito/Judah, as it is supposedly close to being signed.
There are so many already that it's tough for me but I go with Rafa-Isreal.It could go down as one of the best and most significant trilogies of all time(4Ppers fighting each other,lineal title et etc) and certainly the greatest trilogy in my lifetime.When the youngsters in the future talk about legendary fights(when we are all grey and old),we can tell them we saw this trilogy!!
Though nothing has been said or hinted at about this, a fight with Cotto/Margarito would be thrilling, and a Kessler/Taylor or Miranda/Andrade fight. All 3 could possibly be made this year, and a Cotto/Margarito fight would rate the highest of any fight this year for me if it was made. I'd be chomping at the bit for that one.
Cotto-Margarito :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :lickish: :lickish: :lickish: :lickish: :lickish: :lickish: :lickish:
I feel like a kid in a candy store going into this year El Gamo ;D ;D :DQuote:

Its NOT made but theres something about Margarito Vs. Cotto VERY appealing to me.Nice clash of styles between two fully capable warriors.I'll take Tony Vs. Judah 1st though.....Pity Zab I do.
Marquez Vs. Vazquez 3 :o :o Hide the children,This will complete a marvelous trilogy and Im picking Marquez ..(guess that will set up #4).The toll these guys will show after could be border line inhuman.My fricking T.V will need an endswell in this fight Lol.
Pavlik Vs Taylor 2. I like Pavlik.But dude,His straight forward style and "do or die " belief in his power and spotty (IMO) defense might catch up to him fast.Great story and real breath of fresh air .Taylor has no Manny right?? weight will benifit Taylor but that was a KO that he'll have in the back of his head.
ALOT of great bouts in 08'. Not to overstate it but I think this could one of the best and most Decisive years in resent memory. Sorry Gamo,hard to pick just one Bro!!
I kind of gathered you were finding it difficult to pick one ;D ;D ;) You think this will be better than the AMAZING 07 we had??It could very well be you know!Quote:

The only thing Zab will mop the floor with is a mop when he's a janitor at Buddy McGirt's gym. And though I may forget about Margarito, thanks to KT and youtube I'll never forget Judah's impersonation of Michael Jackson :)Quote:

I've always wanted to see Pacquaio-Guzman. Realistically I know that's almost surely never gonna happen.
I'll go Cotto-Williams since I don't think Cotto-Mayweather has much chance of being made this year. I think it will eventually be made, just not this year. Not sure about the likelihood of Cotto-Williams either but I've gotta pick one.
Pac V JJM 2- PBF V Cotto- Judah V Margarito- Pavlik V Abraham
Vic V Arce - Katsidis V Khan- Vasquez V Marquez 3 Naz V Butterbean ;D
I know it's supposed to be one fight but there are so many i would like to see happen.
RJJ Vs Tito :P
PACMAN V MARQUEZ
yep looking forward to roy jones v tito. would of liked to see diaz v katsidis but that went pear shaped. i suppose out of the confirmed fights it's gotta be pavlik v taylor at super middle(interested to see what differance if any it makes). But most of all i'm looking forward to yet another year of dissapointment from the heavies
Enzo Mac Vs Haye.
Wanted this fight for the last ffew years.
Vasquez V Marquez 3 , Pavlick vs Taylor (cmon Kelly ;D) and Jc vs Bhop. and lets wait and see who floyd fights hopefully Cotto now this would be big .
Calzaghe v Hopkins. Look at my sig....my allegiances are pretty obvious. ;)
In terms of action, I think Haye v Maccarinelli promises to be a barnstormer.
Hopkins v Calzaghe ...
Ibragimov v Wladimir ...
Povetkin v any Champion at Heavyweight..
Pavlik v Taylor 2
Ones that have been made or that i wish would happen ??Quote:

The one i wish would happen is Solis vs Calderon.
I really think this should be an easy question, because there are two fights in '08 that rise well above everything else, and those two of course are Pacquiao-Marquez II and Mayweather-Cotto.
If the question is which "officially" signed fight, then the answer is Pacquiao-Marquez II.
If the question is which unsigned hyothetical fight, then the answer is Mayweather-Cotto.
Pavlik - Taylor II - I have a sinking feeling that Taylor is going to win this time
Calzaghe - Hopkins (if it gets made)
Pac - JMM II
Mayorga's next fight which will probably be a third fight with Forrest. Other than that, Hopkins vs. Calzaghe if it comes off. Come on B-hop!!!
Right now it is a toss up between Calzaghe/Hopkins and Vazquez/Marquez 3.....
Calzaghe Vs Hopkins more for the fact I just want the F'IN This to happen after all these years.....
Vazquez Vs Marquez 3 because I want to see my boy Israel to finish the series strong.....Not that I dislike Marquez...
Cotto vs Mayweather would be just as exciting for me as Hatton vs Mayweather....which was huge for me as a Brit but supporting Mayweather. Pavlik vs Taylor 2 would be interesting....obviously Calzaghe Bhop is pretty exciting however i think thats gona be very overhyped when you consider the age of hopkins!
