    Which fights would you fellas love to see next year? I'll start first, in no particular order:

    Pacquiao vs Mayweather - A mega fight which stands to make stupid amounts of money, there is no reason for this to not take place. Despite believing Mayweather will win, I'll still love to see how he'll deal with what Pacquiao has to bring. Result - Mayweather UD

    Vitali vs Haye - I personally don't know how Haye will get on against Valuev, but providing he pulls through, I'd love for this fight to finally take place. Hate him or love him, Haye is the type of fighter you wanna see fight 2/3 times a year. It's unfortunate that he'd have been inactive for a full year by the time he fights next. A fight against Vitali (or the other one) is something the heavyweight scene is in dying need of. Result - Vitali by late KO

    Mosely vs Mayweather - Out of the 3 guys (Cotto, Pac, Shane) who I believe Mayweather must fight before retiring, I think Shane is the one who will come nearest to handing him his first defeat. Lightning handspeed, crushing power and a granite chin, Sugar presents a real welterweight challenge which Floyd hasn't taken on since his move in to the 147 scene. I personally think Mayweather will come out on top in a fight for his life. Result - Mayweather by split decision

    Cotto vs Mayweather - If Cotto rips up the script on Novemeber 14th, then we will know for sure that the Miguel Cotto of old is still amongst us. Before being stopped by Margarito, he was the one who many thought would go on to present the toughest challenge to Floyd. Unfortunately, we all know why that didn't take place. I personally think Cotto is more of a threat to Mayweather, than Pacquiao will ever be. Just like Shane, Cotto is a fully fledged Welterweight who will look to make it ugly for the Prettyboy. Very interesting to see how Floyd would deal with him, and could possibly bring the best out of him. Result - Mayweather by UD

    Marquez vs Pacquiao - Unfinished business here, in which the Mexican has given Pacquiao arguably 2 of the toughest fights of his career. Since then, Pacquiao has frightingly evolved in to the best P4P fighter in the world. It would be a big mistake to think Marquez would have the same type of success he did in the first 2 meetings. Formerly a one armed bandit, Pac has added a lethal right arm to his weaponry, which I believe will help him tremendously should they meet again. Result - Pacquiao by UD

    So....have I missed any other guys out there?

    Mosley vs Mayweather
    - Easy win for Mayweather, Mosley has power in his court and nothing else. Mayweather is as quick as Mosley has ever been, Mosley is slower than he used to be, combine that with the ability Floyd has to adapt and the inability Mosley has and you've got an easy UD.

    Cotto vs Mayweather (after Mayweather and Cotto win their bouts)
    - Mayweather UD, closer with Cotto as Cotto will hit Mayweathe rmore than he's used to being hit, due to his good body work

    - Pacquaio vs JMM at 135/140
    JMM to win, but to be robbed again.

    - Klitshcko (either) vs Haye
    Haye knocked cold early.

    1. Wlad -Haye--Hate to say it but likely Wlad by mid round ko

    2. tua-arreola--probably getting too excited off tua's recent ko but.... tua by close decision

    3. pac-mayweather-mayweather by ud or late stoppage

    4. bhop-toney--never happen but would like to see it. If hopkins ends up getting adamak or rjj for a cruiserweight title (belt) and toney can continue to drop down (think he was 217 last time out.. anyway would like to see it. hopkins ud

    Lopez/Cabellero or Gamboa - Lopez UD in both may stop Gamboa
    Froch/Andrade - ....I lean toward Andrade SD in a potential FOTY
    Kessler/Bute - undecided really ill go with Kessler SD
    Mosley/Mayweather - Mayweather UD in a very tough fight
    Maidana/Torres - Maidana KO in a amazingly brutal short but sweet fight were both fighters will probably hit the canvas a couple times.
    Valero/Soto/Katsidis - Ill go Valero by decision against Soto but I dont dare bet on that one, against Katsidis I think Valero KO
    Linares/Soto - Linares UD
    Hasegawa/Agbeko or Montiel - Hasegawa by decision in either
    Mayweather/Pac - Mayweather UD
    Tua/Peter - Tua TKO
