    What are your five most anticipated/ exciting fights this year slated to happen?

    1) Gamboa vs Rios- fireworks
    2) Salido vs Lopez 2 - fireworks
    3) Peterson vs Khan 2- fireworks/ huge tension IMO
    4) Ortiz vs Berto 2- fireworks

    T5) Pacman vs Bradley (this will be a more entertaining fight than Cotto/ Mayweather to me).. Pac is more vulnerable than Mayweather is to Cotto

    T5) and Hopkins vs Dawson (Only because it will clearly determine the best at LHW)

    Nice... Brooks- Hatton will be good but Brooks will definitely lay him out I think

    Peterson - Khan 2
    Given the first fightbwas entertaining and all of the hullabaloo in the aftermath I'm looking forward to this one. I doubt the rematch will live up to the first fight however.

    Ortiz - Berto 2
    Again, the first fight was a thriller and the rematch should prove just as entertaining.

    Maidana - Alexander
    I can't stand Devon. There's somthing about his style that makes me want to vomit. It will be interesting to see how he copes with an all action come forward brawler.

    Anderson - Groves 2
    The first fight was brilliant. Groves was hurt badly but fought back like a warrior to stop Anderson.

    Mayweather - Cotto
    Better late than never......

    Also I have to admit I am a little bit interested in the snooze fest that's gonna be Hopkins vs Dawson II. Just because Bad Chad is a great technician.. Also Chad has been money at the sports book for years.

    I know, mate. But still think its an interesting matchup. Experience vs youth. Crossroads fight.

    I think;

    Gamboa-Rios
    Khan-Peterson II
    Ortiz-Berto II
    Morales-Garcia
    JuanMa-Salido II

    I have a hard time picturing any of those being bad fights. Even if the re-matches don't reach the heights of the originals, they all seem sure to give us some good action.

    True.. I like it though.. it tells me where Canelo really is.... although I think they should of put Delvin Rodriguez or Sechew Powell in front of Canelo instead.. or even Deandre Latimore.... or really.. even Alfredo Angulo
