Guillermo Jones-anybody
Wlodarczyk-a bona fide top ten cruiserweight
Haye vs. a bona fide PRIME AGED top ten heavyweight (Povetkin, Adamek, Wladimir, Peter, Arreola, Chambers)
There are a few good fights coming up like Dawson-Pascal and Wlad-Peter, but most top boxers are taking fights with lesser opponents.
You hit the nail on the head, man. All things honest, I don't think I'll ever be a happy boxing fan. Not only for the quoted reason but for other reasons as well. It's a hard sport to keep loving and dedicating time and thought to.
Aside from Mayweather-Mosley, Dawson-Pascal and the Super 6 fights, this year will suck. So far that is. Maybe a crazy fight can be made to save the whole year but i doubt it.
And oh yeah if Pacquiao stops Margarito I would love that fight.
