pick the next 3 fights for you 3 favourite aussie boxers

katsidis
1. campbell - got a bit of a rep in the states. decent exposure
2. guzman - good fighter, highly rated.. might be too small for kat
3. diaz - definite FOTY candidate here. two of the young lightweights going at it

mundine
1. hamdan - good local stoush no real risk
2. lacy - over hyped yank would get him a bit of publicity
3. kessler - hopefully kess has beaten calzag by then and mundine who i give almost a 50 / 50 chance can make a mark internationally

briggs
1. garay - good hard match up. will see if briggs still has it
2. stipe drews - murdered him the first time. best shot at a world title that he deserves
3. retire? or a big money fight with a yank. not dawson please.

kat v guzman (wanna see that little shit get beaten up)

the man v lacy (make the hype man quit)

briggs v drews (will wipe the floor with him and gain a paper title)

I'd buy it. Katsidis vs Campbell, good idea.

Katsidas VS Diaz after the scheduled warm-up.
Katsidas needs some rounds in the bank before taking on the likes of Guzman.
The Diaz fight should be a great fight & give Katsidas some much needed top level experience. Fights a toss-up in my book.

Briggs VS Glen Johnson
- Classic matchup. Briggs deserves the paper title from Drews, but this would be a hell of a fight.

Mundine VS Calzaghe
- Put up or shut up for Mundine. Guy's so impressive in some fights, loads of talent, but every time he steps up to the plate against a really major international opponent he falls short.
Apparently the Calzaghe bout was offered previously & Mundine knocked it back because he doesn't want to travel. Is Mundine more than a talented regional fighter with a big mouth? Prove it!!!

It's so true that it's painful sometimes. Good Post.

i thought both of you would know that it's been made public that no such offer was made. warren was talking shit as usual saying he offered the fight

i dont think i made this thread very clear.. i wanted everyone to pick THEIR three fights for THEIR three favourite fighters..

that list was mine..

macman you give katsidis more of a chance against diaz than guzman?

Yeah - Guzman is slicker, with more top level experience. He's the guy who can box more if it's needed (although he didn't against Barrios), & handspeed is superb.

Diaz is a straight ahead pressure fighter/brawler with solid skills - gives Katsidas more chances to land big, & think Katsidas has the solid edge in handspeed in that one. Diaz has a good edge in experience though.

Be a great fight.

i like both fights... but im more in favour of guzman.. i think moving up a weight.. and to a guy who hits well out of his weight division guzman would be in deep trouble.. although clearly the better 'boxer'

i would LOVE to see diaz v katsidis.. they'd just slug it out.. i wonder if rocky could take the sustained aggression and body attack.. alot of people whose opinions i respect rate diaz really highly. i havent seen alot of him myself.

katsidis vs. Diaz: Katsidis will hurt that soft fat Mummies boy.

Morales vs. Freitas: El terrible will make this bitch quit.

Barerra vs. Pac: This all time great will be on his game 2nd time around. Well I live in hope.

Why is Mundine one of your Favourite fighters?

he's got unreal speed. decent power.. i like his style of defence.. for some reason im drawn to controversial mouthy fighters. also i dont believe alot of the stuff against him and i dont want to jump on the hate bandwagon. ive never understood how people take such personal offence to him..

barerra v pac sounds like it could happen..

Besides his racisms, his uniformed comments regarding the 9/11 attack, this inability to be humble, his constant contradictory actions and comments. The Fact that he uses his heritage in such a negative way, his lack on intelligence.
