    The fights that come to my mind as of June, 2010, that i think should be taking place. It will be interesting to see how many of these happen or dont happen.
    ------------------------------
    Mayweather vs Pac - The fact this fight isnt happening makes boxing look bad, its that important

    Wlad vs Haye - The fact this fight isnt happening makes boxing look bad, its that important

    Bradley vs Alexander - They still have time, so its not crazy just yet... but if these two havnt squared off by the end of next year (say... 2 more fights each at least) this will go along the other two as a boxing shame.

    Haye vs Adamek - Two fighters who were dominant at cruiser, and now have made a name for themselves at heavy... this fight just makes sense on so many levels. Two contrasting fighters in almost every sense of the word, in a clash where the winner could face Wlad.

    Kirkland vs Angulo - Ya i know it cant actually happen at the moment, but this fight is still hot to me and id love to see these two square off.


    There are plenty more but ill leave it at that.... what are some of your fights that you think should be happening, or you want to happen, but arent?
    -------------------------------


    ---------------------------------

    May vs Pac
    Wlad vs Haye
    Alexander vs Bradley
    Juanma vs Gamboa
    Donair vs Darchinyan
    Haye vs Adamek

    I'm just pissed Antwone Smith vs. Mike Jones ain't happening. :-(

    Anyway i really wanna see Gamboa vs. JuanMa although i do see why they're letting it marinate.

    Mayweather/Pac is happening. Ya gotta believe!

    And Bradley/Alexader not happening just yet is fine, as long as some other good 140lb matchups happen.

    Haye won't fight Wlad though, we agree on that.

    Yep... Gamboa vs Lopez is a must, that is another fight while it might be a bit early now, if they havnt fought by the end of next year i will be dissapointed.

    I dont know if this is a weird one or not but id like to see Dawson vs Cloud as well... not really a MUST fight at this stage but its intreaguing.

    Caballero vs JuanMa. I've never seen a fighter get called out as bad as JuanMa's been called out by Caballero.

    I like the idea of Haye vs Adamek with the winner facing Wladimir.

    As mentioned above, yes Valero vs any top fighter was something I was so looking forward to. I was a believer of his ability all along. Complete tragedy.

    Also want to see Angulo vs Kirkland. What a letdown with Kirkland going to the clink again. I can't wait to see him back. I think he would be difficult for anyone around his weight and have always favored him over Angulo.
