if you could make 3 dream fights for 2009......

[LEGION]

For some reason I still want to see a Taylor/Miranda fight. Wonder what the chances of that happening are?

[Diane]

Well a lot are saying Pavlik vs Abraham, which I wouldn't mind seeing, but since Abraham seems bound to move up to 168 soon, I think Abraham vs Kessler would be an interesting fight.

Humberto Soto vs Linares

Marquez vs Vazquez IV


I know, I didn't mention Cotto, but for me, any fight with Cotto is a dream fight.


As an extra mention, what fight I don't want to see in 2009, any fight with Mayweather in it.

[Spicoli]

Humberto Soto vs. Urbano Antillon.....or either one smacking around ......fighting Valero

Tomas Adamek vs. Guillermo Jones

Fernando Montiel vs.Vic Darchinyan...........3a: Mosley vs. Cotto 2

[iwng100]

1. Williams vs Pavlik
2. Pacquiao vs Mayweather
3. Kessler vs Bute

Zippy.

It's too big a risk for Jermaine. It's one of those fights that he should win, but could very well lose.

I understand that sounds like every fight in the sport, but I am positive you get my point. Taylor has become... vunerable in the facial region.

I hear ya'. It seems though Edison could be given a paddle in the same boat as JT. I wonder who is considered the more serious threat in the SMW division; Miranda or Taylor, and would the fight really do any good for either of them?

But I'd agree it probably is more dangerous for Taylor, as he is the one with the more decorated career and so if he lost he would really be in a bad way{if he isn't already}

[KKisser]

pac-money
mosley-money
pac-jmm
williams-pavlik
donaire-darchi

[El Kabong]

A Klitschko (either one) vs Nicolay Valuev to clear out the division of any fraudulent title holders.

Miguel Cotto vs Andre Berto

Tavoris Cloud vs Antonio Tarver....just to see Tarver get smacked down

[Dean Duke]

Manny v Money
Pavlik v Abraham
Khan v Prescott

[Beanz]

1.Haye-Klitschko (Either Brother) yeah Wlad is a great technician but has had it his own way for too long, with his pawing and holding of opponents constantly going unpunished. Haye will be making a big step up and may not have enough to get through (it's not only Wlad with a suspect chin) but he will give it his all and for a smaller man can throw some real bombs. If he gets a chance at the more open Vitali..even better. Guaranteed excitement in the Heavyweight division at last.
2.Mosley- Clottey...Would be great tear up and Mosley deseves a shot at the Pacman or PBF but while he waits on that Clottey sounds a good match up. Joshua Clottey aquitted himself really well early against Cotto, but failed to capitalise with sustained pressure in the later rounds. Shane when he is on form though will be way to much and will hopefully get a chance to give PBF nightmares.
3.Pascal-v Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr, or Chad Dawson..yeah i know the Hopkins match up is never going to happen but i think Pascal is a great prospect and won't be recognised as such until he fights a real name.


As for some of the dream fights mentioned. I am surprised at English fans clamouring for Hatton- Khan.Whatever happened wouldn't be great for British Boxing. Don't want Khans career to end at the hands of one of his Boyhood Heroes or Ricky to finish being finished by a young Brit fighter really just starting his Pro career. Hatton-Barrera would be great in their heyday but think both (who are friends) should hang up the gloves after giving the fans some truly great exciting fights throughout their respective careers.
