Still to come we got barrera v pac II

Calzaghe v kessler

Hopkins v wright

Mayweather v hatton

Magrito v williams

Rafa v isreal II

and a S*** load more that will happen...

While it may not be the matchup of the century a shout out must also go to the first heavyweight unification match since 1999.

Oh, and while boxrec is always a bit tentative, these dates bodes pretty well:
