    I mean of all the potential best matchups, they are all rematches, Margarito vs Williams 2, Marquez vs Pacquaio 3, Vazquez vs Marquez 4, Cotto vs Margarito 2.

    I can't think of any real solid new matchups involving p4p stars.

    Ok we might get a decent 3 round beatdown of David Haye if he fights a Klitschko next year but it's more a mismatch than a megafight.

    Apart from Calzaghe fighting Dawson there isn't much out there on the horizon that really appeals to me, nothing that has me salivating at the thought of it anyhow.

    I really think this fight NEEDS to be made.

    For me this is an awesome matchup, both unbeaten, a classic battle between an old experienced champ against an undefeated young lion for the right to be called the unisputed light heavyweight champ.

    I'm in agreement with Taeth that Dawson is a big test for Calzaghe, I really think this is a close fight. I'd favour Joe over the 12 rounds but he cannot afford to get careless like he has in his last two outings and the possibility of him getting caught means this is a watch behind the sofa type fight, for me at least!
    I agree with you, but i don't think Dawson has even close to the star power needed for it to be considered a mega fight..

    There are definitely some good fights that could be made though.. pavlik/abraham pavlik/kessler taylor/kessler..

    I think the biggest names that could be paired with one another right now, and no, i don't want to see this happen, but as far as the general public and name recognition goes, Hopkins/Jones would be huge considering they both were just in the spotlight recently..
    I agree BCD v. Calzaghe would be a mega fight.

    But, there are others.

    Pavlik v. Abraham is as significant as any other fight. Unification of the middleweight division is a big deal.

    Kessler v. Taylor also is a huge fight.

    Personally, although not on the same level of significance, I'm pretty hype on the Cunningham v. Adamek fight. Biggest fight in the cruiserweight division this year.

    You mentioned Cotto v. Margarito II.

    PBF v. Pacman (if he wins).

    And for a slug fest: Areolla v. Haye. I understand it is not even close to on the same level as the others.

    Kessler Taylor doesn't really interest me, I mean I'd look forward to it, but nothing out of the ordinary. Both have been beat and neither are really all that exciting to watch, I mean you can't look at either of their careers and point to a really spectaculr win.

    Plus Kessler would beat Taylor with relative ease imo.

    I'm looking forward to Pavlik Abraham, but that insipid display against Bernard has really taken the shine away from Kelly imo.

    But even on this list bud the Calzaghe vs Dawson fight is the Daddy ... both being undefeated helps it along quite a bit too ...
