Realistic, potential (and openly discussed or negotiated) match-ups to happen within the next 11 months or so...

De La Hoya/Mayweather
Taylor/Wright II
Hatton/Castillo
Pacquaio/Barrera II
Heavyweight Unification: Klitschko/Maskaev
Toney/Peter winner vs. Klitschko/Maskaev winner
Corrales/Juan Diaz
AArce/Darchinyan
JMM/Scott Harrison (may happen Nov.4 if we're lucky)

Lacy/Green (not exactly a megafight, but a big one)

Thoughts?

I'd like to see these fights, Margarito vs. Paul Williams would be good as well.

Mayweather/Mosley and/or De La Hoya/MayweatherTaylor/Wright II
Hatton/Castillo
Pacquaio/Barrera II (however, I think Juarez--not Morales--might derail this)
Calzaghe/Kessler-Beyer winner
G.Johnson-Woods winner/Roy Jones II (snicker)
Heavyweight Unification: Klitschko/Maskaev
Toney/Peter winner vs. Klitschko/Maskaev winner
Corrales/Juan Diaz
Arce/M.Castillo or Arce/Darchinyan (come on Arce, make a big fight!!)
JMM/Scott Harrison (may happen Nov.4 if we're lucky)
J.Gonzalez-Vazquez winner/R.Marquez or De Leon/R.Marquez
Lacy/Green (not exactly a megafight, but a big one)

What other very realistic ones am I missing? No where to find on this list are Margarito and Cotto, but both of them have potential huge fights that are tied up on this list--Mayweather, Hatton, Mosley, Castillo, and Arum would never put them in vs. each other. I guess Margarito-P.Williams could be on here, since it probably won't happen Dec.2...

Thoughts?

Mayweather versus any top elite WW would be good Mosley or DLH would be good too.

Hatton - Castillo would be a definite great fight and I think very probable if Hatton goes back down to jrWW.

Pac - Barrera wont be derailed by either of them losing. Fact is both times Pac fought Morales, Morales was coming off of losses. Fight 1 Morales was coming off a loss to Barrera Fight 2 Morales was coming off a loss to Raheem. Barrera losing doesn't take away from the probabilty of them fighting.

One good fight I would love to see would be P. Williams vs Margarito or Cotto. I think there is a good chance he will fight 1 of them in early 07 (most likely Margarito)

2006 was supposed to be a huge year.

All the Hatton/Mayweather talk, it's been big, but I think 2007 will be even bigger.

2006 should have been the year. The first half of it was dope, but mayweather/de la/castillo/corrales/and hatton messed that up.

The fight I most want to see is Hatton-Castillo, that would be fight of the year almost guarenteed. I really have no interest in the heavyweight division outside of Sam Peter. One scenario that I would love to see play out is Barrera-Morales 4. I know it sounds rediculous but say they both lose this fall, where else is there to go? I don't think anyone would oppose of them fighting a fourth time including them, considering it'd be their last big payday. On a humorous note, I'd like to see Bowe-Holyfield 4 as well. That has to be on pay-per-view.
