    2008 Not looking too good for the sport of boxing!

    After a TREMENDOUS year in 07, 08 isnt looking too good for the sport. The only fights on the horizen that interest me are, Pac/Marquez II, Taylor/Pavlik II, and just recently i heard that there is going to be a 3rd fight between Marquez and Vasquez. That's it! The fighters that are suppose to be making the big moves, and fighting the top guys arent! Cotto/Gomez??.....A tuneup for Oscar in May???..... Oscar/Floyd II in Sept??? Really, who wants to see this? Sad to say, but i think 07 was just a tease for us diehard fans. 08 isnt looking too promising.

        I agree, 2008 looks pretty weak as of now.

                    Not to mention that the Heavyweight could REASONABLY be unified if both Wlad and Peter pull out the W's. Which I think will hapen. Late December could actually see unification.
