Your Thoughts on Boxing 2008 So Far?

[mrpain81]

What fans? the people who tuned into Mayweather/De La hoya 1? They hardly know of these fighters. The causal fans will only know of Tyson/Holyfield, Mayweather/DLH 2, and Trinidad/Jones which already passed. Thats what I'm talking about. I know there are great fights this year but will they make the headlines? Unfortunately, these BS fights are what will represent Boxing in 2008.

Which fights should be made??

The point is, if u make these good fights the fans will come.

These fights are made FOR the boxing and fight fans. The fans are going to come out for these fights in droves.

This is what boxing needs. theres nothing more they could be doing.

Marquez-Pacquiao 2 is gonna get a lot of press, so will DLH-Forbes and DLH-Mayweather 2. Hopkins-Calzaghe, one of the most significant fights in years, will get great press.

They cant pull Lennox Lewis out of retirement and send him into the ring with V. Klitschko just cause its good for boxing. These things are impossible. Whats being done is pretty much all thats possible.

Kball is right those fights he listed are all big fights that really help boxing sure theres some crappy fights but there always are and it's only january so its yet to be seen if it is going to turn out to be better than 07 but already some big matchups are scheduled , Pavlik vs taylor II, Macarinelli vs Haye, Hopkins Calzaghe plus the fights that KBall mentioned and thats only until april, too early to tell

Relax kid

rofl

*looks over at chris and snoop*

"handle that"

so far the matchups are really good, but the fact that theyre practically all ppv is just horrible and disgusting. Am I ever going to be able to watch high level boxing for free anymore? the only chance I get is when Juan Diaz fights, and Calzaghe too but now even his ass is only going to do ppv fights from now on probebly ...and I still gotta find someone with HBO to see even those.

cotto vs mayweather

If both Cotto and Mayweather keep winning, this will no doubt be the biggest fight that could be made in boxing.

Outside of either fighting Delahoya.

pacquiao vs katsidis

Saying that fight is bigger or better then Pac Vs Marquez is BS.

pacquiao vs hatton

Hatton just fought at 147 and Pac has never fought over 130, yes that fight would be huge. From the looks of thigns it might acctually happen.

Still Marquez Vs Pac makes more sense now.

cotto vs williams

That fight would have to be on PPV for the type of money both would demand, do you really thing Williams has established himself yet to make that a fight now??

margarito vs dlh

So this fight will be bigger then DLH vs Mayweather??

Yes that fight would be a good action fight, but its a low reward high risk fight for DLH.

guzman vs katsidis
forrest vs winky
mayorga vs winky
mayweather vs mayorga
mayorga vs margarito
margarito vs forrest

All these fights are good, but Its not like they are "Must See" they still might get made though, its very early in the year.

[Kball15]

cotto vs mayweather
pacquiao vs katsidis
pacquiao vs hatton
cotto vs williams
margarito vs dlh
guzman vs katsidis
forrest vs winky
mayorga vs winky
mayweather vs mayorga
mayorga vs margarito
margarito vs forrest

Why should ANY of those bolded fights happen???

I agree with Cotto-Mayweather, thats the most meaningful fight in decades, and will be the most anticipated welterweight fight since Leonard-Hearns.

Pacquiao-Hatton is reasonable. Pacquiao moving up to challenge for Hattons belt, which Hatton should get before that fight. Has some real substance and is definetly worth watching

Cotto-Williams is Welterweight unification and would be a great fight

Forrest-Winky makes sense because nobody wants either of these guys, and it wouldnt be half bad.

The others make no sense

And believe it or not, the ones i mentioned above are all possible to happen late this year or early next.

They already said that Pac-Hatton will happen at the end of the year.

Who is Cotto gonna fight after Margarito???

And again, Winky and Forrest have no where else to go so i guess they will meet.
