4 Fighters to have a massive 2008

[Dick-Sucker]

I think Haye, Calzaghe and Juan Diaz will have good 2008's!

not a bad list. I could see that happening.

[Dick-Sucker]

Why would he want to fight mundine?? Mundine is a unknown and the yanks woulnt be interested in that one little bit.
I'm looking at
berto to have a good 2008

pavlik to have a good 2008

cotto to have a good 2008

And i know this wont happen as he looks finished but hopefully lacy can come bacl and win a title, it wont happen though.

Weirder things have happned in boxing. If Lacy gets his muscle mass down. I have no doubt he could take out a title, if all goes perfect.

add PACMAN there. he plans to collect belts at 130(jmm), 135(juan or david diaz) and 140(hatton). mayweather's resume wont even come close if pac comes thru all these.

i like pacman but im not too sure he'll be able to beat marquez..but that fight should be interesting..i think pacman can beat david diaz but i think he would lose to juan diaz..and i honestly do not see pac moving up in weight to take on hatton i seriously think hatton would be too much for pacman!! but if he could do all that he would probably be fighter of the year.. i still think floyd has a better resume though

i think Juan Diaz beat Pacman aswell. I can't see Pacman having a big 2008 .But the guy is a gritty fighter, so he may well have a big 2008.

3 Fighters here to watch out for:

1. Amir Khan) This guy is seriously talented and has the overall ability to be a start in the sport. He needs to stay mentally strong. Im sure he can and will beat a few big names in 2008. And from there his career should just take off.

2. Wladamir Klitschko) I can see him unifying the heavyweight division. He has achieved a lot in the sport, but 2008, will be massive for him. Unifying the division will be great for the sport, and a big year for him.

3. Anthony Mundine) Im tipping him to beat Bika, Lacy and then either Kessler or Bute. He may take a rematch with Green for the WBA light heavyweight title. A fight which he would surely win and become a two division champion. Which would pretty much entice Calzaghe to fight him at LHW, considering Calzaghe has stated he would love to be a two division champion and that Hopkins has no belts. A lot of you will get on my back for rating him this high. I have seen this guy sparring, and he is talented big time. Hes developing rapidly aswell (no amateur career). Needs to take the big fights though and he may just do that.

4. Floyd Mayweather) He will only fight once. But it will be another big win. He will most likely fight Cotto, Williams or Margarito before he retires. Either three will fight him in 2008. I feel Floyd wins a UD over Cotto and Margarito, a wide UD. Williams will give him trouble and Floyd will only take a close UD. But he will only fight one of them, and a win over them is still massive and further cements his legacy. And its another big year for Floyd.


Divisions to watch out for:

1. Welters
2. Super Middleweight (Going off an abundance of talent)

Divisions not to watch for:

1. LHW, extremely weak at the moment.
2. Middleweight, with Pavlik and Taylor moving up to SMW.

Its been a great 2007. Lets hope 2008 is just as good. Our sport is healthy and continues to go from strength to strengh which is what us boxing fans desire.

i think Khan is a cert to be World champion this year. looks like a WBO title to me (us brits seem to love the WBO lol)

i don't see him having too many fights this year and almost certainly none of the top names in the division in 08

p.s

if wlad unifies the HW title with say 3 big wins gotta be early front runner for fighter of the year 08 (bit premature i know lol)

Weirder things have happned in boxing. If Lacy gets his muscle mass down. I have no doubt he could take out a title, if all goes perfect.

hope your right mate, but i think along with his confidence and injury it doesnt look 2 good, ohh yeah as you said he has to get rid of his addiction to the weights room as its starting to really affect his career.

Chad Dawson should have a big year next and so should Junior Witter. I look forward to Junior Witter close to cleaning out junior welterweight division next year.

[Gareth Ivanovic]

I see Jorge Linares having a good year hopefully seeing him fight either Robert Guerrero or Chris John or maybe even both. Plus I think Y. Gamboa by the end of the year will have a title.
