January 22nd - A doubleheader featuring Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Vernon Forrest.

January 29th - Arturo Gatti vs. Jesse James Leija and another fight to be determined.

February 12th - A 'Boxing After Dark' show featuring Miguel Cotto.

February 19th - The return of Bernard Hopkins.

February 26th - The rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez.

March 5th - A tentatively scheduled edition of 'Boxing After Dark'.

March 12th - A pay-per-view show featuring Felix Trinidad.

March 19th - A show featuring Fernando Vargas.

Let's hope we get to see Cotto fight Vivian Harris. Hopkins will fight Sturm, I bet.

I believe Vargas's comeback fight wont be televised as it is a tune up and probably a no ranked guy since he is testing the middleweight waters.

Other than that a decent schedule depending on how the opponents are....

If Bernard takes that date it seems like it will be Sturm for sure. No way he takes on Tito now.

Do we know Floyd and Vernon's opponents yet? Are either of them planning on fighting for titles?

Looks like a pretty good line up to me. Hopefully shortly after that we get to see a Pacquio fight with Morales.

I think HBO is going to show the Vargas fight because I seen a poster for it.

2005 is shapeing up to be a good year. Hopefully it competes with 2004
