I think probably the majority of people would say that the two biggest match-ups in boxing right now are Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao and either Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko vs David Haye.
What would you consider to be the next most compelling match-up in the sport?
That one would definitley be one I'd set aside the night for. Really compelling stuff. I would love to see how JMM deals with Katsidis' pressure and power. He hasn't had to deal with a fighter anything like Kats since the move up.
He couldn't let Kats connect as much as Diaz did in their fight.
Katsidas and JMM is another true clash of styles, and ages

It'd be interesting to see how Perez dealt with Moreno slickness and vice versa with Perez's pressure
Absolutely.
Moreno isn't as good coming forward, and Perez backing up. Both guys would be fighting to their strengths here.
It becomes more intriguing because since Moreno has little power to speak of, I don't see him hitting Perez with something to discourage him from coming in.
Hmmm...interesting.
I think Yonhhy Perez is more of an opposite than Montiel, IMHO.

If we are actually talking about the most "compelling" matchup, I tend to think about the matchup that would garner the most attention and public interest/emotion. The only matchup that I think people would be as emotionally invested in as May/Pac would be...
Cotto/Margarito II
That is a fight that promoted properly would be HUGE if both guys win their next fight or two.
If Cotto won even a semi-close fight a III could even be possible.
If I was to set up a tourney at 154 it would go like this:
with sergio-
1) Serg V Angulo
2) Pwill V Dzinzurek
without sergio
1) Angulo V Dzinzurek
2) Pwill v Cintron
I'd also love to see a round robin with juanma/caballero/gamboa or any matchup of the 3.
yup yup...the final on PPV, be nice.
I'd like to see both.
Pavlik needs to find a way to stop fighting boxers....him and pwill would be guaranteed fireworks
Bute would do him DIRTY!
I'd like to see if Bute could handle a boxer so Bute-Ward or Bute Dirrel are fights I'd pay to see.
Agreed...these dudes need to get back in there. On a Rematch note Id like to see Angulo take is on with Cintron again...i feel he could edge it out this time. Possibly give him a shot at the winner of the dream Martinez vs Williams rematch.....Setting up a little tourney at 154..what do yall think?

I think people would rather see Williams-Martinez 2, I know I would.
140 lb top 4 tourney is juicy.

Williams - Pavlik
