    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.

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

        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!

          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.

              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.

                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.

                  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 ****in' 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.

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 ****** 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 ****in kidding me!! zab would murder this chump!!!!
