    For example, one year ago, no one would have envisioned Sergio Martinez been near the top of the pound for pound rankings. Who would have known that the future super star Edwin Valero would committ suicide? How could anyone have seen that the Shane Mosley who massacred Antonio Margarito would become old overnight? How about someone predicting that James Kirkland would have been behind bars? Or that Alfredo Angulo would have been suspended for not having legal documents for been in the United States?

    Let's make believe we are in the December of 2011...

    What do you think could/should/would happen in the world of boxing...

    Let's have fun with this.............

    is the point of this what we think could/should/would happen or what WILL happen. as your post points out, they are two completely different things.... and this is boxing we're talking about, not the most predictable of sports.

    We don't know what WILL happen..so just have fun with it...

    For example,

    Wlad will school Haye to retirement...

    Mayweather Jr. will "poke" a bus boy...etc.

    Alright, here is to looking foolish! Feel free to tell me which ones are in your opinion ill advised.

    -Donaire will be in everyone's top 5 P4P.
    -Shumenov, or the one whom defeats him, will be a legit top 40 P4P.
    -Ward and Abraham will not fight.
    -Dawson will defeat Pascal in the re-match.
    -We will see at least one fight between Adamek or Haye and a Klitschko.
    -Mosley will get stopped by Pacquiao. (ooh, tough pick, right?)
    -Williams will fight and defeat current Ring #1 junior middleweight Cintron in re-match.
    -Segura will be the #1 guy (P4P) in any weight class beneath bantam.
    -Matthew Hatton will win a world title belt.
    -Dirrell will not fight a top 10 contender.
    -Kessler will lose to Bute.
    -Clottey will only be spoken of as a punching bag to Pacquiao the year prior.
    -Cotto will annihilate Margarito. Face it, Margarito plastered most of his prime career.
    -Steve Cunningham will not lose in the calendar year.
    -Chisora will fight a Ring ranked top 10 heavyweight and will lose.
    -Bradley will UD Alexander.
    -Khan will not fight the winner of Bradley/Alexander.
    -Hugo Cazares will either be the lineal or #1 guy at 115 lbs.
    -Kelly Pavlik will win an easy comeback fight or two in the second half of 2011.
    -ESPN3 continues its awesome coverage.
    -Merchant, Lampley, or Steward, one of them will be done as HBO broadcaster.
    -Mayweather will fight in 2011, vs. Pacquiao, Khan, M. Hatton, Kotelnik, or Bradley/Alexander winner. He will win.

    I already had sergio up in the top five after the Cintron (draw) and Williams (loss) robberies. My eyes told me that he was one of the top 5 and that's really all I need because My eyes have a greater influence on me than both of those BS results.

    December 2011:

    Bob Arum finally runs out of in-house matchups after Cotto/Margo II and Pac/Cotto II. Too greedy to share money with anybody else, he stops promoting.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. fights Erik Morales and his fans point to another HOF'er on his resume.

    Senior still can not speak discernable English.

    Tavoris Cloud beats Dawson like Pascal did it.
    Pacquiao beats Mosley with ease.
    Cintron KTFO Williams.
    Segura retires Calderon(very sad I'm rooting for Calderon).
    Cotto beats Margo, gets beaten badly by Martinez and evaluates retirement.
    Pascal-Hopkins re-match as B-HOP claims he was robbed.
    Sturm-Martinez in the works for 2012.
    Chavez Jr. beats a bum and looks at Cotto as he sees him losing to Martinez.
    Maidana beats Ortiz in his first title defense.
    Kotelnik wants a rematch against Maidana or Alexander.
    JMM beats Humberto Soto.
    Lopez-Gamboa still without happening.
    JML-Rafa 2.
    W. Klitschko KO's Haye.
    V. Klitschko survives his struggles vs. Adamek.

    How about some stories with a full 180 twist...

    1) Pacquiao gets framed in a political scandal that lands him in jail
    2) Mayweather gets caught with steriods prior to fight with Hatton
    3) Erik Morales beats Timothy Bradly to claim his fourth division
    4) Miguel Cotto gets caught using Plaster against Margarito
    5) Wladimir Klitschko knocks out David Haye in two rounds
    6) Paul Williams produces knock out of the year against Kermit Cintron

    OMG is Cintron really #1??? Dear god what is this world coming to : (

    Everything else is solid. Idk about Khan and the Maywether one, but if it happens that would be awesome.

    It'll be nice to see Matthew Hatton win a world title btw
