    I made it 5, feel free to list as many as you want. :deal


    5. Old Legends. Please retire. RJJ, Toney, I think even BHop and Taylor would qualify here... I saw that Mayorga is attempting a comeback, so is Lacy actually but those two were never HOF'ers. Why? Strictly money?! It could end real bad for one of them... just retire already.

    4. A healthy Cotto vs a healthy Martinez. Hungry and healthy, those two could make for a great fight. Roach is offensive minded and will squeeze the little bit Miguel has left in him, and I really hope Sergio makes it to the fight in 'great' shape, say same form as Chavez Jr fight. Fun fight while it lasts.

    3. Stevenson vs Kovalev. Pretty self-explanatory. Late in the year or even in the summer, there is potential for this clash of unstoppable forces to happen. Likely in Montreal, with -hopefully- the same projected attendance they're expecting for Bute-Pascal (18 to 20K). Kovalev looks extremely well rounded, has a solid balance and can hurt guys with both hands, where as Stevenson is a late starter who keeps improving under Sugar Hill's Kronk legacy training, surprising a lot of folks with his foot & hand speed as well as the dynamite he packs in that left hand. Look for Kovalev to be the aggressor as he likes it, and Stevenson be the counter-puncher as he also likes that role.

    2. A real "Money test". I know his skillset is unsurpassed is this era, but I'd like to see Floyd in deep waters. Whether it's Khan's speed, Maidana's relentless attacks, Lara's boxing ability or Garcia's well timed left hook, I'd like to see Floyd overcome adversity in something other than a one sided domination. Something he can look back on and say, 'this was a real challenge'.

    1. HBO vs Showtime // TR vs GBP. Need I say more... end the war. Allow GBP back on HBO, let's see TR fighters mix it up with the other guys over on SHO. We'd see stuff like LSC vs Donaire, Golovkin vs Quillin, Garcia vs Provodnikov, etc etc etc.
