    Vitali vs Solis, Wlad vs Haye, Adamek vs Klitschko, Sam Peter vs. Robert Helenius, Chambers vs Peter/Helenius and possibly we might see Chagaev vs Povetkin to find out will be in place to take Haye's belt if he wins and retires. The decent Sosnowski vs Dimitrenko fight is also to be had.

    Fantastic year of boxing! I've always said this division is the best for match ups and now it looks like they're all going to be coming thick and fast now.

    Then we have the contenders and up and comers that can still have fights to be made like, Boystov, Pulev, Thompson, Arreloa, Gomez, Pianeta, Ustinov and Valuev if he is still active.

    A truely great year of HW boxing.

    I never really thought about it, but you're right. Compared to years past this is one of the better ones I can remember, unless we are talking about the mid to early eighties. I'm very excited for Haye vs Klit and I'm also interested in Adamek vs Klit. Also Solis vs Klit is interesting as well. Decent year shaping up for the HW division (finally)

    Absolutely, those are some great match-ups coming up! Even the fights for the WBA strap (Povetkin vrs. Chagaev or Mormeck) could be exciting.

    I've heard rumors of Boystov vs. Arreola this April.

    Hopefully we can add that one to the list.

    Also Chisora vs. Fury.

    This year in HW will suck as badly as last year.
    The HW drought will drag on for another 3-4 years.

    Yeh Chisora vs Fury as well, although I can't help but feel the perception would still be largely negative from the casuals.

    I have always felt the better match ups would be with guys like Povetkin, Arreola, Chambers, Adamek, Haye facing each other, as they are of a similar stature.


    When you fight a Klit, and I'll use a Teddy Atlas analogy here, its like trying to get up a hill whilst the guy at the top of the hill is throwing stones at you. Klits are too disciplined to give up their advantages.
