    Would you all please STFU? :twisted:

    I hope Mayweather-Pacquiao never happens, just out of spite for the likes of you all.

    IB, you keep a pretty good tab on who's fighting..do you have any fights that you are looking forward to in 2010 sans pac/floyd?

    James Toney says shut the **** up with the tests ****. He himself knocked out hws and he started as a mw. It's possible for Pac to be knocking the **** out of wws naturally.

    ^That is the only fight I'm somewhat interested in for this year. The most important fight for that tourney is still next year with Ward vs Dirrell.

    Brook vs. Jennings (finally)
    Calderon vs. Segura
    Dzinziruk vs. Mayorga
    Ponce De Leon vs. Escalante
    Molitor vs. Booth
    Klitschko vs. Peter II
    Barker vs. Macklin
    Perez vs. Agbeko II
    Nishioka vs. Munroe
    Morales vs. Limond
    El Riel Hernandez vs. Anchondo
    Lopez vs. a top ten featherweight (assuming one signs)
    Pulev vs. Platov
    Cleverly vs. Murat

    Oops my bad, I wasn't sure and took my friend's word for it but I just looked it up and it's happening this year. The smw tourney fights are the only interesting thing left this year.

    OK, so that interests you... (how could it not?).

    and Ward vs Dirrell is also in 2010.

    True. I exscept that the most interesting fights that can be made are probably at those two divisions though (plus HW - with Klit and haye..).

    But even if 147 hasnt delivered this year 168 has - big time. And the Dawson-Pascal fight was a nice upset too.

    I do wish to see Khan in a real test and no more feather fisted or inferior opponents for him.

    I look forward to see Martinez again (Martinez-Paulik was another memorable fight from this year!). My preference is for Martinez to go to 147 or fight Mayweather (or Pac) at a catchweight such as 150. Martinez is not a MW in any sense of the word - although Mayweathers people probably hope he will stay there.

    Abraham/Froch

    Ward/Dirrell

    Williams/Martinez II is all but signed.

    Bute and Andrade on the same card in seperate fights

    Pavlik returns late November/Early December

    Cotto/Chavez looks like a go
