          Absolutely. To top it all off, if Wlad beats his maditory, and Haye beats Valuez after Ruiz, we could have the first true heavyweight superfight since Lennox retired. Not to mention a middleweight not quite superfight if Pavlik beats Martinez and fights Williams. Good thread BTW.

            Yes it looks good lots of good matches, no holding heavy ones until Ward vs Green. I would say Mayweather vs Mosley might be boring but I think Shane will try to keep it exciting.

              Seriously. This 2-3 month stretch is LOADED. Great fights, literally every weekend.

              We got Hasegawa/Montiel also, which is a big one.

                When it's all said and done, this is great for hardcore fans, but what about increasing casual coverage? I can turn on the TV and have the choice to watch MMA everynight, but that just isn't true for boxing. From now till at least June, boxing is going to have a great run, but how much exposure will it get? I really don't think that the sport will use this run of good fights to actually grow the sport.

                    you forgot:
                    Perez vs Mares
                    Antillon vs Rios


                    both to me should be highly entertaining

                    and the return of Ghost Guerrero is now slated for April 30th
