    Haye v Maccarinelli
    Calzaghe v Hopkins
    Woods v Tarver
    Lemar v Shepherd
    Froch v Inkin
    Rees v Kotelnik
    Artur v Guzman (?)
    McIntyre v Anderson
    Johannesen v Mitchell

    Hatton and Witter also looking for fights... how about each other?

    Khan as well I guess.

    There's some absolutely outstanding fights there though, I'm very excited about the next few months! Every bout on ITV or Setanta except McIntyre/Anderson (Sky) and Lemar/Shepherd (tape delay as live BBC).

    Rob have a watch of Juan Diaz against Nate Combell and hopefully you'll see why I rate him so highly. :)

    Nate Cambell really does look good. A real talent and threat or were you talking about Juan "Sponge-bob" Diaz?

    I do rate Diaz but do not think he will move up the weights well, like Hatton and Corrales.

    I also rate Cotto and Khan very highly thats why i think they would beat him (khan in a few years before anyone starts)

    And hey no apoligies needed this is a forum everyone is entitled to there opinion and i always understand your points. I am not working at the moment yet still vent my anger like a **** lol. I am just in a very good moood this week cos Spurs won the Cup....GET IN!

    Also Campbell is a decent and expirienced oponent that will prepare Diaz for tougher asignments in the future. UD 12 Diaz.

    I would love to go to Haye vs Macca but have never been to a live pro boxing match. I don't know how much I will like going to a live fight so do not want to risk ruining the potential fight of the year for myself. I am however sitting near enough ringside for Pacman vs Marquez, looks out for My british flag!

    Your first time to a boxing show is an amazing experience. Better than most things that will ever happen to you. You soon start to give a **** for all the boxers involved and not just the guys you have paid to go and see. I did not know how I would feel before my first show, I thought it would be boring but damm no.


    Cambell is very good. Diaz should beat him but it could be a tricky fight, that is unless Diaz is the wonder talent he is being billed has. Diaz can move up and do well but I do not think he can go past Light welter.

    I would love to slag Khan off about you saying he may one day be able to beat Diaz but I honestly can not say he wont. My only prob with the kid is that for a guy with so much talent he needs to face more dangerous fighters before he can claim to be the fighter he says he is.
