Fights I'd like to see that haven't been signed.
Andre Berto vs Miguel Cotto
This match makes a lot of sense as Berto would be stepping to the next level while Cotto would be in against a World Class Welterweight again.(no disrespect to Jennings)
WBC Welterweight belt would be on the line and it would be a Great spectacle to watch and I believe that it is a fight that would see Berto arrive as a star that his ability suggests he is.
I watched a few Berto fights the other day and the mans skills and punching speed are unbelievable.
Paul Williams vs Antonio Margarito
Williams posted an upset last time against the then much hyped Margarito who many at the time thought was being avoided by Floyd Mayweather. Since the fight Williams lost in a lackluster performance against a very good Carlos Quintana, though avenged in style with a 1st round KO that showed he is sittting on his punches more. While Margaritos stock is sky high again after his relentless style wore down and battered Miguel Cotto.
The 1st Margarito vs Williams fight was close but Williams won and seemed to have too much of everything for Margarito yet some posters seem to think it was a fluke. (I don't)
I think Williams would beat Margarito even better 2nd time around.
Joe Calzaghe vs Carl Froch
Ok not a fight that would appeal to the US or anywhere outside the UK but it is a fight that the British fans would like to see happen.
A farewell fight for Joe in front of a sold out Millennium Stadium of 70,000 fans against his English rival.
Froch has a huge test against Jermain Taylor next but it is one I think he will pass and if he does then he will have won over a sceptical US market.
Joe wins for me as his work rate would be too great. Mind Joe is not the fighter he once was and Carl is very underrated.
Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham
Kelly needs a fight before this monster Unification. I thought it was 50/50 before Kelly lost but now I favour Abraham.
Abraham’s shell like high guard and counterpunching haymakers are going to be of immense danger to Kelly who needs to win this fight by simply jabbing and keeping out of a brawl as I feel his chin is not the greatest and you don't want to test it against a surprise Abraham bomb.
Jorge Linares vs Edwin Valero
Valero is the man of myth, the power punching WBC Super Featherweight Champion while Linares has a cult following of his own and is an exceptionally talented, tough, skilful WBA Champion having moved up from Featherweight.
We all want to see Valero tested at World class - his KO rate is legendary but he has not been tested against the Elite and Linares would provide that test.
