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.

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

Re: Fights you want to see a fighter take that would at least make you respect them.
Mayweather vs one of the best at his weight class would be interesting

Margarito vs an Anvil

He blew any hope of a rematch when he asked for more money than the entire budget that HBO was willing to put up for the rematch. DiBella & Berto were always trying to make it but Collazo wanted more money. He blew the chance of a rematch, just like he blew the final few rounds in a fight that was almost his. I like his style a lot, but like his pal Paulie, he's managed to blow a deserved rematch by thinking he's worth more than he is. Must be something about the air in Brooklyn ;)

go re-watch Hatton/Castillo to help you forget about the thrashings that Mayweather and Pacquiao gave him
if it's any comfort, i think it's fucked up the way that Mayweather get's all these spots on WWE, especially after seeing how Hatton can take a face full of turnbuckle!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

Cortez sure did a terrible job, the fight would probably have gone differently but I just think that at best, Hatton would have won one or two more rounds and still have lost, maybe not by K.O but he would have lost.

Re: Fights you want to see a fighter take that would at least make you respect them.
He's retired and I wanted to keep the discussion to fighters still fighting, but Calzaghe would have laid to rest any doubt on his standing if he had fought and beat a prime Chad Dawson. Not that I doubt his standing amongst the greats, but some people did, and a win over a prime Bad Chad one division up from where he fought his whole career would have cemented him as an ATG.
On that note, I'd like to see Floyd fight Shane and Paul Williams. Beating them would do a lot for his standing too. Moreso than beating Pacquiao in my book.
Both Floyd and Joe never lost a fight and suffer the same criticism. Both are fighters who could lay it to rest by taking one or two more fights.

Really? Check the record, just go through the records of Wlad vs. the record of Haye at heavyweight. Make a comparison, no active heavyweights have faced more dangerous opponent than Wlad save Vitali.

Wlad has clear wins over, Barrett, Byrd (twice), Mercer, McCline, Brewster, Peter, Brock, Ibragimov, Thompson, Rahman, and Chagaev, his next opponent is Eddie Chambers
Haye has wins over, Glen Kelly (the same Kelly Jones KTFO with the hands behind the back punch), Mormeck (who was clearly passed it, barely beating a lazy and ring rusty Bell), Maccarinelli (never was any good), Barrett (was already KTFO by Wlad 8 yrs earlier, and he still managed to hurt Haye), and Valuev (who many feel should have got the nod in the bore fest), and he's scheduled to face John Ruiz :-X:-X:-X
yea nuff said

Re: Fights you want to see a fighter take that would at least make you respect them.
Haye doesn't need to fight Vlad or Vitali to gain my respect. To me, he already gained some of it by beating Valuev, and he'll gain more of it by beating Ruiz. I'm not saying they are awesome boxers, but they are legitimate heavyweights. Of course, I'd give him more credit for beating Eddie Chambers, Alexander Povetkin or Cris Arreola. Vlad and Vitali destroy whoever is put in front of them. They've already gained my respect.
As to the thread, Nonito Donaire needs to step up his game which means stepping up in weight to bantamweight. I don't even want to see him fight Darchinyan again. He should move up in weight and challenge Agbeko, Perez, Hasegawa.
Also, Chris John against somebody competitive. There are so many great fighters in or around his weight: Gamboa, Lopez, Caballero, Yordan, Poonsawat etc.

i have lost respect for haye in the manner he beat valuev & if he doesnt knock ruiz out in 30 seconds i will lose even more respect for him

You clearly know nothing about Killersheep. He's among the most objective, knowledgeable, and level-headed people on here.
