Klitschko v. Klitschko: The Stuff That Dreams are Made of

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - "When life gives you lemons...make lemonade."

Whether it was Dale Carnegie, someone's grandmother or an anonymous prescient soul who originally uttered that phrase, I've taken it upon myself to adjust it a bit this week as it relates to boxing.

"When life gives you De La Hoya-Pacquiao...make another fight instead."

So, armed with the determination to do our friends at Golden Boy Promotions and HBO PPV one better this Dec. 6, I enlisted the help of several colleagues by requesting they give me "one fight that's out there now that you'd most want to see."

And rather than relying solely on the cynical, left-leaning press with which I've been inexorably linked for nearly two decades, I scattered the outbox with representatives from other limbs of the sport's family tree as well - including promoters, publicists and television executives.

The response was rapid and varied, indicating to me that I may not actually be the only one disillusioned with the imminent 147-pound circus act, and at least temporarily renewing my faith in a sport that's never lacking for reasons to lose it. [details]

The brothers will never fight each other.

There's still a heavyweight division to be cleaned up: Peter, Valuev, Povetkin and maybe Haye and Chagaev.

They will be busy during the months to come.

For me it would be Mijares v Donaire by a mile.

Antonio Tarver vs. Clinton Woods II

wow what a dream fight,

on topic a Klitschko unification fight would be incredible but it will never happen, even though Vitali is taking back his belt soon

They will do pretty much anything if the money is right so don't count it off yet. I'd prolly sopcast it.

Id say Manny the PACMAN Pacquiao against anybody worthy out there ^_^. because manny brings in the action and excitement who ever he fights ^_^, destruction of his opponents follows ^_^ lolz

I would rather see Haye vs Klitschko.

Thats my dream fight at the moment ... Either that or Mayweather Margarito.

[Stickman]

I can't believe none of them asked for a Pavlik/Kessler matchup, or a Pavlik/Calzaghe.

As for the Klitchko brothers against each other in the ring....I wouldn't be able to get past the fact that I was seeing two brothers in the ring against each other, and I don't think they would either. Even if the fight were signed (which, lets face it, is about a 100,000,000,000 to 1 shot), it would be a boring jabfest that would, in all probability, end in a boring draw after 12 boring rounds.

[The Hammer]

I would rather see Haye vs Klitschko.

I can hardly wait for that one too.
