What do you think will happen in 2014??
Some of my predictions:
Canelo vs Lara will happen
Kovalev vs Stevenson will happen
Pacquiao will retire before the year is over
Keith Thurman will fight Mayweather by the end of 2014
Rigondeaux will not fight again until the end of the year
Broner will go down to 140 and lose to either Matthysse or Garcia
Just a few of my predictions for the next year. What are some of yours?
Whoah whoah whoah!! Who said anything about 2015??? Lol :p
Who do you think Nelo loses to?
I think he could lose to either Angulo or Molina, and if not one of them he'll lose to someone else later in the year. The veil's gone, Golden Boy got their Floyd payday, and he will lose again unless they overprotect the ginger.
I think the biggest surprise is Shawn Porter will remain IBF Welterweight champion for the whole of 2014, he's probably the most underrated of all 4 champions.
The fall of Peterson and Alexander, Didn't know a lot about that Jean opponent he's fighting in January but I smell another loss for Peterson, Devon Alexander, from an almost Mayweather' sweepstakes in 2013 to cancelled bouts with Brook and Khan, will go 1-1 in 2014.
In 2015 Mayweather-Pacquiao gets signed...unless Manny beats Bradley and Marquez in 2014...at which point we just waste another 4-5 years speculating why the fight never happened at the most opportune point it could have.
Whoah whoah whoah!! Who said anything about 2015??? Lol :p
Golovkin only gets one legit fight, and brutalizes whoever it is. His resume won't look much better.
Ward fights Chavez Jr. and becomes one of the most hated fighters on NSB.
Bradley actually beats Pacquiao this time.
Santa Cruz beats Mares late in the year.
Alvarez will lose again.
Mayweather and Pacquiao keep talking and talking without ever trying to fight each other.
Who do you think Nelo loses to?
My guesses:
Wilder vs fury
Cotto vs Sergio
Canelo vs Angelo/Molina
Lara vs rosado (if he beats charlo)
Floyd vs khan in May
Broner gets his Maidana rematch or moves down to fight Matthyse or Zab
Garcia moves up to fight Paulie
Ruslan vs marquez
Thurman vs Guerrero/ortiz
GGG wins four more fights, adding Murray and Sergio to his good boy list
Ward and Rigo stay undefeated
Kovalev and Adonis happens
:Thinkingo
Amir khan suprises a lot of people and goes the distance with floyd. amir takes the early rounds but floyd eventually come out on top...just.
Broner has a decent come back and starts to live up to his hype. probably faes malinaggi again or another equally soft puncher at 140.
Zab judah retires if he cant get a big fight
Maidiana vs mayweather in september.
manny vs alvarado. manny UD. people call for pac vs floyd but instead Manny fights Bradley and loses by UD.
Thurman hype train continues
Lomachenko vs Salido. Lomachenko UD
donaire vs rigondeaux. rigo UD.
vic darchinyan gets KO'ed and retires.
deontay wilder V fury. Fury KO.
Haye vs Wlad. Wlad KO.
i think porter loses his IBF WW belt as no-one seems to be able to defend it lately.
Golovkin only gets one legit fight, and brutalizes whoever it is. His resume won't look much better.
Ward fights Chavez Jr. and becomes one of the most hated fighters on NSB.
Bradley actually beats Pacquiao this time.
Santa Cruz beats Mares late in the year.

Canelo Alvarez will fight two sub-par opponents
Andre Ward will struggle to find an opponent
Paulie Malignaggi vs Adrien Broner rematch
Juan Diaz vs Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia
Guillermo Rigondeaux will move up in weight looking for decent paycheck
Adonis Stevenson vs Jean Pascal after he beats Bute
Sergey Kovalev will call out Adonis all year long
Wladimir Klitschko vs Bermane Stiverne
Roy Jones will get Knock the fu*k out again
Rios vs. Provodnikov will happen and it will be glorious.
Maidana vs. Thurman will happen and it will be marvelous.
Marquez will fight the winner of Rios/Provo in one final farewell fight of the year.
Stevenson vs. Kovalev will happen and it will be a 1st round KOTY candidate.
Broner will make a comeback at 140, then get KTFO before the end of the year.
Casper the friendly Cotto will beat Martinez and duck Golovkin.
Maidana vs Thurman will be FOTY if that happens!
Who do you think will be the one KO'd in the Stevenson vs Kovalev?
And lastly, I wouldn't call it a duck if Cotto beats Martinez then doesn't fight GGG. I can't see Cotto having any longevity at 160.
Rios vs. Provodnikov will happen and it will be glorious.
Maidana vs. Thurman will happen and it will be marvelous.
Marquez will fight the winner of Rios/Provo in one final farewell fight of the year.
Stevenson vs. Kovalev will happen and it will be a 1st round KOTY candidate.
Broner will make a comeback at 140, then get KTFO before the end of the year.
Casper the friendly Cotto will beat Martinez and duck Golovkin.
Now that's what I'm talking about. That's how you build up a Floyd opponent.
You've gotta imagine if Danny wins, he won't be so cautious of a Floyd fight anymore. Imagine his confidence levels at that point.
Damn straight, HBO and GBP need to hire me! lol
Whoops, meant SHOwTIME lol
I like Danny a lot but I don't think he beats Thurman. Thurman is seriously going to be a force, the kid can box. Bang. Good technique. Good power. Young. Not a POS like Broner.
The only person at 147 that beats Thurman out of GBP is Floyd.
I completely agree, but I will never doubt Danny lol. Dude has proved me wrong too many times. But the reason I would want to see that fight (outside of me thinking it will be entertaining as hell) is because the winner of that fight will truly be deserving of a shot at Floyd.

I'm a huge Thurman fan, but don't sleep on Porter. Trust.
LOLOLOL I can see that. But you know what? I change my mind. I want Thurman to fight Porter first, have Danny Garcia take a fight at 147 (and win) then assuming Thurman and Danny win, have them fight; winner gets Floyd. That would be wonderful
