..16 Fights For 2008...

alfonso gomez vs zab judah are u fuckin kidding me!! zab would murder this chump!!!! Yeah, Zab Judah always finds a way to win in significant fights.

Essentially, I could pick about 7 or 8 of these fights happening in 2008, and I'd be a VERY happy person. However, in a perfect world, I'd get to see all of these fights, sooner rather than later. These are in no particular order and I wont even make predictions (bit too early for that), I'll just say a little bit about why I'd like to see the fight. You all can comment, post some extra ones if you'd like or just hate on my choices if it makes you feel better. Enjoy. Manny Pacquaio-Juan Manuel Marquez II Who doesn't want to see this fight, at this point. I think it'll be be more back and forth than the first and I see it being VERY EXCITING. Juan Diaz-Joel Casamayor Very interesting fight. Is it passing the torch or is the veteran gonna school the young buck? Just fight, we'll find out. Joe Calzaghe-Bernard Hopkins To of the best fighters in the world. While they're fighting, they'll have a combined age of 75 plus years. So many variables would play into this. Hard one to call. Junior Witter-Paul Malignaggi It'd be a good fight to make while they wait for Ricky Hatton to come back down, if that's what he would intend on doing. Wladimir Klitschko-Samuel Peter This would name a TRUE world Heavyweight champion, and I think the fight would be a good one, quite like the first go-around. Mikkel Kessler-Edison Miranda Good momentum builder for the winner and it'd let us know more about both fighters to determine if either should be expected to accomplish anything. Librado Andrande-Carl Froch I think this would be an interesting fight, with two fighters trying to make a name in a division that will need a new champion, if Calzaghe indeed moves up. Andrada-Froch and Miranda-Kessler could be a nice little tournement. Sergio Mora-Arthur Abraham This fight would be a VERY big step-up for Mora, and I don't care who he steps up against at this point. I just want it to happen. I also think Abraham has to prove something, so this fight makes sense. Vernon Forrest-Cory Spinks It's a good match-up for 154 pounds and would set someone up to be looked at as the best jr. middleweight in the world. The division needs a true champion, so it works out well. Alfonzo Gomez-Zab Judah Very interesting crossroads fight. The young guy with something to prove and the older guy with something left to prove. I like it. Edwin Valero-Jorge Barrios Two sluggers ready to knock eachothers heads off. Both with something to prove... Sounds good to me! Shane Mosley-Floyd Mayweather This is of course, if both win their fights. I think they will and this is the next logical fight. Would be a very good one, too. If I had to guess. Chris John-Jorge Linares I just want to see Jorge Linares in a nice fight, and John is a decent boxer. I think Linares is an incredible fighter, and this would be a nice showcase fight. Ivan Calderon-Hugo Cazares II GOTTA MOVE REMATCHES. Daniel Ponce De Leon-Gerry Penalosa This will settle that stupid argument that the Mexicans and Pinoys on this website have, so I'd be more than happy to see it happen. Oscar De La Hoya-Ricky Hatton I think Hatton will lose, but with the proper re-building fight, he could still have a nice war with De La Hoya. I'd love to see the hype for this fight happen. GOOD Lord, I can only imagine. Anyway.. discuss. alfonso gomez vs zab judah are u fuckin kidding me!! zab would murder this chump!!!!

Abraham vs Sergio Mora? Lol Im sorry to break it to u but Abraham and Mora are not on the same level buddy. Mora should first beat some prospects before fighting the big dogs. Abraham will KO him in a couple rounds. I can see you're a big Amraham fan, but last I checked he got a gift decision in his biggest fight (with Miranda), so it's not like he's proven SOOO much more. Do I pick him over Mora? Yes. But it's a fight where both have something to prove to me. Which is why I want to see it. It will shut up either Mora or Abraham nuthuggers and I'm all for that. Then the winner can go on in the division. I don't hate on Abraham, but that't essentially his biggest fight, and he got his jaw broken, and won based on fouls, that most people didn't really see happening. Mora has been waiting around long enough. It's time for him to step up and just fuckin' fight. That's all. Anyway, I'd also like to see Paul Malignaggi-Ricky Hatton. Hatton would still be the 140 champion. It'd be a good unification bout.

Abraham vs Sergio Mora? Lol Im sorry to break it to u but Abraham and Mora are not on the same level buddy. Mora should first beat some prospects before fighting the big dogs. Abraham will KO him in a couple rounds.

I'd like to see Cintron-Mayorga, at 147. Someone might actually get decapitated. That's also another fight I'd be interested in. Maybe Froch-Bute.. Be a nice international fight. Dam this year still has good fights, and I still can't wait for 2008.

If Mayorga can beat Vargas, he will get another pretty big fight. I think he can aim higher than Baldy. Forrest III would seem like a very realistic and logical possibility. I'd like to see him go for the sweep, but Forrest would probably dominate him at this point. Mayorga will always be a big draw. He would be a gate keeper at 154. If he does win, your right Don King will set him up VS more P4P competition. I really want to see Mayorga Baldomir just b/c of the styles of the two. It would end by the 3rd. I hope the Forrest fights doesnt happen. I mean he lost twice, move on. Forrest has so many other big fights to look foward to. If Mayorga should rematch anyone it should be Spinks. He won that fight. But with this Vargas fight at 166 Vargas has every advantage. So who knows what Don King will do with him if he losses.

You guys have already said all the fights that really matter. But just for kicks Baldomir-Mayorga If it could work out RJJ-Bhop (this has been needed for years.) If Mayorga can beat Vargas, he will get another pretty big fight. I think he can aim higher than Baldy. Forrest III would seem like a very realistic and logical possibility. I'd like to see him go for the sweep, but Forrest would probably dominate him at this point.

wow, 2008 is sounding like a wonderful year for boxing. Can't wait to see the end of this year but Cotto-Mayweather or Cotto-DLH sounds amazing. Kessler-Bute is another match, I'd like to see. Can't wait for 08!

Change the Sergio "no one wants to see" Mora vs Abraham shit into Felix Sturm vs Arthur Abraham. This fight would be big in Germany and you americans have one overprotected european less.

Another interesting, very possible and very locigal idea: RJJ vs Winky. Again, I think RJJ dominates Tito (sadly, because I love Tito and have never liked RJJ), so he will have some cache' back and Winky is left out in the cold as far as any other big money fights on the horizon. So, why not make another Winky Weight (170) fight and have at it with these two future HOF's? Roy would have nothing to worry about with Winky's lack of power and Winky just wants the $$$, and this is the biggest and best option for him out there. Sounds like a good HBO PPV date for June 2008.

DLH vs. Cotto (mega event, great action, etc etc) tops my wish list, here are some others: Cal vs. B-Hop, legacy fight. The promotion would be outstanding. Boxing would benefit greatly from that, and Cal will press the action so Hopkins has to actually fight. Hopkins is my fave active fighter, but I think Cal overwhelms him with activity. I wish they would fight at 168 so Hopkins could try to win his third undisputed title and end Cal's defense streak. P.Williams vs. Cintron, apparently signed if Cintron wins Nov. 23. Can't miss action fight, unification, young lions facing off, doesn't get any better. RJJ vs. Dawson. At this point, I don't think there's any doubt RJJ stops Tito and looks pretty good doing it (I love Tito, but he is just going to be too heavy and thus much slower and RJJ still has a few miles left in the tank). This would be the best choice for Dawson as he can get a HOF name on the resume and catapult to stardom and HBO money. Pavlik vs. Arthur Abraham. It's time for AA to come to the states, this would be a phenomenal action fight. Kessler vs. Bute. Hopefully on HBO, but would it be in Canada or Denmark? The fight isn't big enough in the US to be held in the States, but Bute holds a belt and Kessler is coming off a loss. However, Kessler just went to Wales and probably isn't up for going into another lion's den where he probably needs a KO to win. I hope it can happen somehow. Miranda vs. Lacy. Assuming Lacy can beat Manfredo (who knows), this is a great action fight at 168 to determine perhaps who fights Kessler/Bute on HBO...I hope. Pac-JMM II, obviously. Juan Diaz-Michael Katsidis. HBO would be all over this, as would all hardcore fans. This is what BAD is supposed to be all about, so make it happen, Greenburg. Mosley-Margarito. I'm picking Cotto to win this weekend (though I think Mosley gives him fits early, I think Cotto takes a questionable decision), and this is a great fallback fight for both, and a perfect co-feature to DLH-Cotto, at least in fantasy world. If GBP and Top Rank want to revitalize boxing with their alliance, putting on a DLH-Cotto/Mosley-Margarito show is a great start. Victor Ortiz can fight Torres as another bout along with Casamayor against David Diaz. Now I'm beyond dreaming... I love C-Drone's idea of Zab vs. Alfonso Gomez. Very winnable fight for both, very good stepping stone to another big fight for both. Very good TV fight, so HBO would be interested in it as a co-feature or perhaps a BAD main event. Very good all around. Wlad-Peter II. I think Wlad schools Ibragimov and Peter stops Maskaev, so this would be for three belts, with only Chagaev left to conquer for the winner. Chagaev-Povetkin. Povetkin isn't going to get a Wlad fight until 2009 because the mandatory wouldn't be enforced for a while, so why not try to grab another title in a fight that would be huge in Russia.

Vazquez-Marquez III Pavlik-Kessler Calzaghe-Dawson Juan Diaz-Michael Katsidis Mayweather-Mosley Mayweather-Williams Vazquez or Marquez-Ponce De Leon David Diaz-Juan Diaz Margarito-Cintron II

ill love to see taylor vs miranda. both loss to pavlik way of ko. but of course taylor chose to do a rematch. would have preferred him to fight miranda coz theres bad blood there, and it would prepare him for pavlik as well.

Vazquez-Marquez III Good fight, I should have mentioned that one.

Vazquez-Marquez III

you forgot Mundine, when calzaghe moves up in weight he will vacat all tittles that means the WBA is Mundines because he is the regular champ.... i can see mundine kessler happening.... i cant see Miranda fighting kessler

Yeah.. that'd be a decent one.. I'd enjoy that one, too.
