2007's Most Meaningful Fight

[Fox McCloud]

Hopkins vs. Wright - Two P4P elites for the LHW Ring championship.

Calderon vs. Cazares - Undefeated minimumweight champion moving up in weight to fight the LFW Ring champion.

Pavlik vs. Taylor - The Ring championship changed hands in a battle of undefeateds.

Cotto vs. Mosley - Defense of a welterweight belt in which a prospect completed his journey to becoming an elite superstar.

Calzaghe vs. Kessler - Two undefeated fighters with 3 ABC belts up for grabs. The Ring champion vs. The Ring #1 in a fight that would CLEARLY set the winner miles ahead of EVERYONE in the division.

Mayweather vs. Hatton - Two P4P elites. The JWW Ring champion fights the WW Ring champion. A battle of undefeateds.

Anyone want to suggest any others before I make the poll? If we get enough, I can take Mayweather vs. De La Hoya... I just started with HBO's best of 2007.

Most meaningful in what way? How popular the fight was or how it affected the fighters and their future careers?

Cal-Kess or Taylor - Pavlik, Mayweather - DLH was a big fight not really all that meaningful.

[Nwahs !!]

Calzaghe Kessler was the must meaningful matchup. Taylor Pavlik probably had the biggest impact on the future of the sport.
