Fights that WON'T happen in 2010

[£-4-£]

Now that we're half way through the year, I think we have a pretty good idea of what fights will and will not happen this year.

Klitschko bros vs. David Haye
- Can't see it happening, Haye isn't responding. Is he ducking or is he simply playing mind games? Let's hope it's the latter. I think he'll fight Ruslan Chagaev (who recently won a WBA title eliminator).

Amir Khan vs. Marcos Rene Maidana
- Maidana won't fight Khan until 2011. I hope they fight in late-2010 after Ramadan, but I can't see it happening, especially with Maidana's legal and managerial disputes.

Timothy Bradley vs. Devon Alexander
- Tim's temporarily moving up to 147lbs for his next fight and Devon's defending his two belts against Andriy Kotelnik in August (which I think is a BS fight - why fight Khan's leftovers? Khan made him look poor, he didn't even win a round, did he?). Anyway, I can't see Devon fighting Bradley in 2010 because of the time he'd need to recover and train for Bradley if he fights Kotelnik in August.

Amir Khan vs. Bradley or Alexander.
- I think Khan will fight again in December but not against Alexander (due to the above reasons), and I think Bradley will defend his title against somebody else. Also I think Khan will push for this "tournament" in order to avoid fighting both Bradley and Alexander, he wants to fight the winner of a fight between them in 2011.

Andre Berto vs. Luis Collazo
- The first fight was close but I gave Berto the win, however I'd like to see a rematch. But with Collazo's dispute with his manager/promoters he may not fight again this year.

Yoriorkis Gamboa vs. Chris John, Juanma Lopez, or Caballero
- Gamboa's fighting in July and I think he'd only fight once more this year. I think that fight will be against Daniel Ponce de Leon, who is ranked number 1 contender by WBA.


Can anybody else think of any other fights that might not happen?

PS: I haven't included Mayweather/Pacquaio, Martinez/Williams and Darchinyan/Donaire because I refuse to give up hope on them happening!

hope you're wrong, but there is a strong possibility you're right

Yeah, it's upsetting but it's very possible. It's a shame what's happening specially at 126, I would like to see Caballero fighting either Juanma or Gamboa but seems to be unlikely right now.

Haye is a disgrace, he talked too much and he isn't backing up. At least at 140 they're gonna fight each other sooner or later, well maybe later in this case. And Collazo's managerial problems held him down so bad, he could've beat Berto in the rematch.

all 3 should face each other in 2011


Cab vs Juanma vs Gamboa round robin...........



Guzman also makes 140 interesting if he is going to fight there.......
