    (ASSUMING MAYWEATHER STAYS RETIRED)

    1. Haye-Wlad/Vitali - we need a HW title fight worth watching all the other contenders are simply CRAP

    2. Mosley-Cotto 2 - the only fight worth watching at WW.

    3. Dawson-BHOPs - LHW needs this fight

    4. Marquez-Guzman - lets see Guzman get his shot at another P4P fighter

    5. Pavlik - Winky/Williams Winner or Alex Arthur - MW is dead aside from these fights

    6. Vasquez-JuanMa/Darchinian

    7. Gamboa-Any titlist

    8 Taylor-Kessler - nevermind Froch this is the real fight at 168

    The way politics/ducking is we'll be lucky to get 2 of those :|

    floyd won't stay retired - he'll fight a major fight this year or next latest.

    Yep, and sadly, we'll be lucky to see one or two of these fights materialize. I'd add to the list: Kessler v Bute and/or Bute v Andrade II.

    Good fights but the WW division and MW division can offer other fights besides those. Pavlik vs Abraham would be great, as well as Dawson vs Erdei or Woods for a retirement fight for Clinton. Berto vs Cotto or Mosley would be great for 2010.

    I don't think Darch could go up to 122... JuanMa should at least try to get a fight with Rafael Marquez If he canoot get a hold of Vazquez, definitively Pavlik needs to unify with Abraham, but should take a better tune up than Rubio before he goes after Abraham.

    I would add whichever Klit doesn't fight Haye needs to fight the Valuev-Chagaev winner. Not that it would be a good fight (especially if its Valuev) but 1). the fewer champs at heavyweight the better and 2). each day that Valuev is a "heaveyweight champion" is a pure disgrace.
