Batchelder will somehow beat the giant ***** Whittaker.Comment

I totally agree with you.it is good to see all these fights happening.guys are staying active.with 4 world titles that means 4 sanctioning bodies with a top 10.win a big fight or 2 & you may get a shot at a title.it's where the $ is at.I thought drumond beat chagaev(it was a terrible fight but he outworked chagaev).I will take rossy as a nice replacement for chazz & whitaker back is okay too but he's more of a pro sparring partner now but still a big puncher.all those fights are decent but Barrett will destroy hinton(I got ok seats but tried to get ringside with no luck).peter will kill mcgee too.I going tye fields rematches Barrett or brings mccall here.here also thought batcheldor,whitaker,minto,rossy would be great opponents for fields in OctoberThere's a lot of heavyweight fights coming up involving up-and-comers, fringe contenders and/or former contenders:

I'm very pleased with the stay active attitude of brewster,walker,peter,Barrett,mccall.who is Timor ibragimov rumored to be fighting?Comment

the one darkhorse in those names listed is oquendo.he's been very active with this being his 3rd fight in 7 months(not bad for a hw)& I thought he beat toney in December.solis backed out against him & ended up fighting a tomato can a week later instead of fighting fast fres...I'd also like to see how brewster is doing.he hammered michael sprott a few months back.kingpin vs solis is a big matchup & the winner is a win or 2 away from a title shot.interesting second half of 2009.the division may be weaker now than in recent years(think if how many 38 & up are still fighting)but at least we are getting some decent fringe fights.I'm okay with that because we were not getting many before.Comment

Walker is incredibly active by today's heavyweight standards.
This will be his 11th fight in just over 2 years.
It's almost a gurantee that Solis will pull out of the Johnson fight when they realize two weeks away from the date that he is in no shape to fight.Comment
