    I think it would do boxing good to have haye beat wlad in two fights and even vit to get boxing rolling like pacman has.

    there are some good fighters out there who Want to fight the best and get things rolling. Froch pacman jmm haye Hopkins,Williams, mosley et al all fighters who want to fight the best

    What other fights and fighters do you guys think will aide the rejuvination of boxing?

    "He was rejuvenated! He was juvenated before, lost it, then juvenated again! Rejuvenated!"
    Sorry, but no thread can achieve greatness without a Pootie Tang reference. :deal
    - Hopkins is mostly considered a color commentator and sports Voice of the People in the Philly area these days. He's a good lightning rod for boxing, but not the face to put forward at this time.
    - Williams could definitely use some love, but the general public - hell, the casual boxing fan, even - doesn't get all starry-eyed when discovering his backstory, personality, or "My bathroom is really dark!" beard.
    - when friends of mine hear about Suger Shane, their eyes go glassy as soon as Lampley starts gushing about his storied history.
    - Froch?! Oh, please. Ambassador for the sport, he ain't.

    ...and now some plusses!
    + JMM is finally catching fire in the US; if he takes some toastmaster classes, he could be a great public face.
    + Librado Andrade :love not many Mexicans have rabid fanboys in Denmark and Quebec, after all. He's a guy 'Joe da Plumba' can identify with.
    + the new Mike Tyson movie.
    + more coverage and a deeper talent pool in women's boxing. That'd get more butts in seats than beach volleyball!
