By Cliff Rold - The news of Floyd Mayweather being sentenced for his domestic violence issues shook the boxing world in the waning days of 2011. It leaves fans and pundits alike asking similar questions.

Lucky for boxing fans, the sport is bigger than Mayweather. Or Pacquiao. Or Mayweather-Pacquiao.
As we head into 2012, the boxing wish list has plenty of other options. Before Jolly St. Nick brings round the goodies for the kids, here’s a few things he can work on for the sweet science. So it’s in writing…
Dear Santa,

• Continued Clash at Super Middleweight - While there is disappointment among some fans upon hearing World Champion Andre Ward isn’t looking to go straight to IBF titlist Lucian Bute, there is no need to let the perfect be the enemy of the very good. Talk of a Bute-Carl Froch clash (or two) has received some criticism, further proof that no one bitches quite like a boxing fan. Complaining about a match as good as Bute-Froch is coal worthy. If it happens, it’s an indication of how deep 168 lbs. is. It’s not, like Welterweight, a one or two fight class. As long as the players stay together, and keep fighting, boxing wins.
