Future Big fights

**eagle** · 12-19-2007 05:22 AM

With all the big fights going on this year and next year, it got me to thinking, what are gonna be the big fights in say 3 to 5 years time we'll all be watching?
Here are a few i thought of.
Yuriorkis Gamboa v Amir Khan @ 135
David Haye v Odlanier Solis @ HW
Paul Williams v Andy Lee @ 160
Anthony Peterson v Juan Diaz @ 140
Mikkel Kessler v Kelly Pavlick @ 168
These fights are some I'd personally love to see. Anybody else got ideas?

Nice list, topic. CC. My thoughts are some of those guys probably won't be in those weightclasses, Khan in 3-5 will probably be past 135, Lee maybe past 160 maybe Kessler past 168 but still some interesting fights.

Diaz-Peterson is my personal favorite, that would be a war.

Some more, sure I'm leaving out some good ones but

Kessler-Dawson at 175
Khan-Diaz at 140
Pavlik-Abraham at 168
Mijares-Donaire at 115,118
Juan Manuel Lopez-Abner Mares at 122
Jorge Linares-Yuriorkis Gamboa at 130-Gamboa is only about 5'4, he might decide 130's best for a while
Guzman-Juan Diaz at 135-if Diaz hangs around
Malignaggi-Juan Diaz at 140-maybe Malignaggi-Anthony Peterson, or Malignaggi-Lamont Peterson

Some good matchups there. Linares v Gamboa would be a cracker.

Not sure where Cotto would be, not sure if he has the frame for 154. And not sure if any of the young guys at 147 are gonna continue moving up, for example Berto I'm not sure about.

Maybe Calderon will move up again, fight maybe Kameda at 112, or maybe Cazares moves up and takes a fight like that. Not sure if the general public considers those big fights.
