    Marco Huck is fighting his third fight this August and will likely fight again before year end and so is Tomaz Adamek...

    Also, rumor has it, that Wladimir Klitschko will fight three times this year....

      Because that's all that HBO and Showtime can afford.

      They don't understand that they can hustle and fight 3-4 times a year if they jump networks every year.

          Guys like Tomasz Adamek fight 3+ times a year. He could easily fight at the end of the year after Grant. I hope to see him and Haye go at it. Vitali is also an active guy. He just had a bad year because nobody wants to step up aside from the tomato cans looking for a payday.

            I like Marco Huck, he's the WBO cw champ and he likes to fight frequently. It's only a matter of time before he unifies with Cunningham or with some of the other titlists...

                I agree. Cunningham needs to start being active. He's only fought three times since he and Huck fought. Huck on the other hand fought like 10, going on 11 times.

                  Pascal is generally an active fighter. fought 5 times in 2007 and 4 times in 2009. The injury killed his momentum though

                    Probably has something to do with not wanting to become punch drunk.
