Pacquiao-Margarito......going to be a barnburner for sure
Abraham-Froch.......very interesting matchup
Mares-Darchinya........exciting
Perez-Agbeko II.........1st fight was great, 2nd time around will likely produce fireworks
rios-peterson.........two undefeated guys going at it
rigondeux-cordoba.......RIG has 5 fights and going up with a seasoned pro, interesting
Katsidis-Marquez.......don't get me started
HBO PPV has a decent card for 9/18 with canelo, mosley, and ortiz

2010 has to be the worst year for our sport ever!

Yup. It's a real tragedy. What's most ******ed is the politics and petty talk and what not. "Oh my God, I heard he was backing out of that fight?" - "Oh man, I heard he thought 10 ounce gloves were too big and he wanted 8 ounce or he's backing out." - "I heard Haye was in negotiations for that fight." - "Kelly Pavlik says that ____ cant' beat _____."

All that petty talk is so ******ly funny. I can leave boxing for six months and come back and hear the same old stuff with the same old names. Rather than just put some gloves on and step in the ring, everyone involved wants to put some "drama" or petty **** in it. ****ing put the gloves on and step in the ring. Fighters nowadays fight less per year than old people have sex. So much petty and ridiculous crap. "I heard he was in negotiations for that fight." - "Oh, I heard he was backing out." - "He backed out due to a knee injury." - "He's in negotiations for this fight."

LOLOLOLOLOL

It's like a boxing match can be compared to two drivers in a parking competition and people are standing around waiting for it and going "Oh man, I heard that Berto is threatening to back out if he doesn't get a specialized gas cap installed on his parking car." or "Oh man, Mayweather wants an extra three weeks to repaint his car he's going to be using."

It's all so dramatic nowadays. It's to the point of being embarrassed to admit in a social discussion that you follow boxing. The old-timers must be rolling over in their graves.

Anthony Peterson vs. Brandon Rios
Carl Froch vs. Arthur Abraham
Juan Carlos Reveco vs. Roman Gonzalez
Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rafael Marquez
Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito
Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Michael Katsidis
Vic Darchinyan vs. Abner Mares
Yonnhy Perez vs. Joseph Agbeko

Horrible. I'm cancelling HBO and ordering every UFC from now on.

Froch-Abraham potential fight of the year
Ward-Dirrelll= most likely boring but highly skilled technical fight one would guess
Pac-Margarito= only interesting cuz Marg's size in a fight he doesn't deserve...

No superfights this year but some fights do have potential...I think Marquez-Kastidis will be a very good fight...

Mosley vs Mayweather wasn't a "Super fight"?

What warrants a super fight in your book?

It's been a crappy transition year, same **** happened back in 98. This year has been better then that one though, this year is closing real strong.
