Fights you want to see in 2009

[ICB]

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Diaz
Juan Manuel Marquez vs Joan Guzman
Ricky Hatton vs Timothy Bradley
David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko
Kelly Pavlik vs Chad Dawson
Lucian Bute vs Mikkel Kessler
Andre Berto vs Shane Mosley
Juan Manuel Lopez vs Israel Vasquez

There fights i think could realistically happen Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham won't happen with Pavlik moving up to Light Heavyweight

[kingfrnk]

its only for the bhop fight after that he said himself its not permanent he wants to fight abraham sometime at the begining of the year and its pretty easy for him to go up and down from 175 to 160 because its his natural weight and he is still young enough to do it

Sorry but i disagree theres no way he will move down 15 pounds and its not healthy to do so and when he fights Arthur Abraham whos left at Middleweight division ? then he will have to move up again and that will be even worse i would have liked to have seen Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham but its looks unlikely now unless Abraham moves up...........

And with the prospect of Kelly Pavlik getting a fight with Joe Calzaghe if he beats Roy Jones Jr theres no way in hell he will even consider Arthur Abraham.

hhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa calzaghe fight pavlik please he aint that crazy his dad wont let him go near pavlik after what he did to gary but oh how i wish that fight would happen but not likley everybody already knows the outcome of that fight. pavlik by KO

Obviously you're subjective with that prediction...

[Wayne]

Actually, I think Calzaghe might make Pavlik look downright one-dimensional.

Actually, I think Calzaghe might make Pavlik look downright one-dimensional.

Im not to sure, i think Joe is on the slide, maybe im wrong but i look at the 12th round in the Kessler fight and see Pavlik doing that for as many rounds as possible before he stops Joe, you could be right and Joe totally outboxs him, but i just cant see him keeping Pavlik off and if this fight does happen its gonna be at least another 6-8 months so Joe gets even more older.

Also I guess you have to look at what Pavlik is coming in at in the B-Hop he might come in at what is natural to him like 166 or 168 which isn't all that much to drop back down to 160. I think if Pavlik comes in at 175 for the fight he will stay up there and probably give Dawson a run for his money.

[Wayne]

I know it won't happen because Miranda has been shitting the bed as of late, but I wouldn't mind seeing Hopkins fight him. Mainly because after he pronounced Miranda the future of the middleweight division Pavlik handed him his head. Now that he fights at 168 he's right around the corner from Hopkins. I'd love to see what kind of trash-talking Hopkins does more so than the fight itself.

Juan Diaz vs. Pac
Vernon Forrest/Sergio Mora vs. Oscar De La Hoya
RJJ vs. Winky Wright
Chris Arreola vs. David Haye
Jonathan Banks vs. Chazz Witherspoon
Andre Dirrell vs. Andre Ward (FOTY IMO)
Ronald Hearns vs. Julio Caesar Chavez Jr.
Sam Peter vs. Wladimir Klitschko II
James Toney vs. Nikolai Valuev (I know it'd be freakshow of the year, but imagine how deep Valuev would have to bend to hit him)
Taurus Sykes vs. Jameel McCline (SIKE!)

[denilson200]

M.Ali Vs R.Marciano
Sugar Ray Robinson Vs Sugar Ray Leonard
Salvador Sanchez Vs Willie Pep
M.Ali Vs M.Tyson
Sonny Liston Vs Jack Johnson
Jack Dempsey Vs Smokin Jow Frazier

You never know, maybe they are all still alive and have never grown old like the vampires in the fillm "The Lost Boys" and all living in a cave with Bruce Lee, Elvis, Bin Laden, Tupac and Marilyn Monroe

(lol)

[CFH]

Pavlik - Abraham
Juan Diaz - Pac
Margarito - PBF

Cotto - Williams
Molitor (after he beats Caballero) - Vasquez/Marquez/Lopez
Campbell/Guzman - Casa/Marquez
Calzaghe - Pavlik
Jones - Hopkins II (they can even bring their walkers into the ring with them)
Hatton - Juan Diaz
Kessler - Bute

Calzaghe: Pavlik will make me a happy bunny

Antonio Margaito-Paul Williams 2

Williams must wait his turn like all the rest, He had the chance to rematch Margarito. Both Williams and Goofy Goosen scoffed at the idea . Now they can wait till Tony is ready he's in the drivers seat now

Well I wouldn't say he's in the driver's seat anymore, Margarito would now be lucky to get to the back of the line. Still, you would wish Williams did more this year.

Antonio Margaito-Paul Williams 2

Yes, thats a good call.

Hatton: Pac is another one that could happen.

I really hope Pac can do something special against Oscar but that size difference sucks.

I also want to see Toney work his way at a final title shot and against any of the holders. Not exactly a super fight but one that would hold my attention.

Hatton-Pac happened. Toney, not so much

hatton vs witter, jmm vs pacman 3, pavlik vs kessler/froch.

all great fights but the 1 i want to see the most is pavlik vs abraham both are undefeated have titles and have very strong power and heart. abraham fought with a broken jaw for 8 rounds and pavlik gets knocked down sometimes but manages to knock his opponent out later on in the fight. if the fight should happen il be rooting for kelly

Again a lot expected of Pavlik, Margarito, etc.

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Diaz
Juan Manuel Marquez vs Joan Guzman
Ricky Hatton vs Timothy Bradley
David Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko
Kelly Pavlik vs Chad Dawson
Lucian Bute vs Mikkel Kessler
Andre Berto vs Shane Mosley
Juan Manuel Lopez vs Israel Vasquez

There fights i think could realistically happen Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham won't happen with Pavlik moving up to Light Heavyweight

None of these happened Berto-Mosley is in 2010.

I know it won't happen because Miranda has been shitting the bed as of late, but I wouldn't mind seeing Hopkins fight him. Mainly because after he pronounced Miranda the future of the middleweight division Pavlik handed him his head. Now that he fights at 168 he's right around the corner from Hopkins.

Juan Diaz vs. Pac

Andre Dirrell vs. Andre Ward (FOTY IMO)
Ronald Hearns vs. Julio Caesar Chavez Jr.
Sam Peter vs. Wladimir Klitschko II
James Toney vs. Nikolai Valuev (I know it'd be freakshow of the year, but imagine how deep Valuev would have to bend to hit him)
Taurus Sykes vs. Jameel McCline (SIKE!)

You would have condemned us to one horrible year for boxing

I'd rather see Pavlik go to 168 then try and stay at LHW; I wonder how his chin will hold up there. An old Hopkins is one thing; but I would rather him take a more step by step approach to moving and staying at LHW; and would love to see him after the Hopkins fight tread the waters at 168 and fight the winner of Andrade/Bute if possible; or Kessler.

I'd also like to see Kessler/Miranda happen at some time in 2009.

And I too want to see Margarito/Williams II; there's business there that needs to be handled.

Also; Clottey/Cotto or Cintron/Cotto; plus a rematch with Margarito/Cotto.

[Spicoli]

James Kirkland vs. Alfredo Angulo.......two fiery prospects take turns wrecking one another but I like Angulo.

Margarito vs. Clottey 2......Lets put the asterisk hand excuse to rest.Great rematch Imo

Margarito vs. Williams 2......would love it but in no way do I see it happening,Williams on his way up with out a doubt I believe

Kelly Pavlik vs. Arthur Abrahams......gimme gimme gimme

Humberto Soto vs. Joe Cortez......pick up where he left off with Lorenzo

Cristian Mijares vs. Fransisco Montiel......pitching a tent on this one

Manny Pacquiao vs. Ricky Hatton.......this would be fun

James Toney vs. David Haye......Fat man takes him to school but Haye is guaranteed excitment

Chris Arreola vs. Sam Peter....just entered head,hide the kids

Jermain Taylor vs. Mikkel Kessler......wtf


Joseph Agbeko,Jorge Linares,Winky wright,Steve cunningham,Allen Green vs. anyone on live TV......Andre Berto vs. a legitimate top ten fighter.....Antonio Tarver vs. An F-150 pick up truck.....Amir Khan vs.Juan Urango .....
