    Everybody believes that their should be a must-fight between two fighters in each division to prove that they are the best in that division or for other reasons.. Here are the fights that I think should take place out of all in each division

    Heavyweight: Wladimir Klitschko vs Samuel Peter II
    Cruiserweight: Tomasz Adamek vs Steve Cunningham
    Light Heavyweight: Chad Dawson vs Joe Calzaghe
    Super Middleweight: Mikkel Kessler vs Edison Miranda
    Middleweight: Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham
    Jr. Middleweight: Don't Care
    Welterweight: Miguel Cotto vs Floyd Mayweather
    Jr. Welterweight: Ricky Hatton vs Paulie Malignaggi
    Lightweight: Nate Campbell vs Joel Casamayor II
    Super Featherweight: Joan Guzman vs Edwin Valero
    Featherweight: Jorge Linares vs Chris John
    Jr. Featherweight: Daniel Ponce De Leon vs Israel Vazquez
    Bantamweight: Don't Care
    Jr. Bantamweight: Cristian Mijares vs Fernando Montiel

    What are the fights you would want to see or think should take place soon in the future?

    taylor and miranda are merely contenders in the smw division,what does this add to the division at all,surely a kessler v bute match is much more important in that context?

    They are the more recognized figures in the already weak division. The topic is must see fights and i'm sure that the public would want to see Jermain Taylor back in the ring as soon as possible and to get a chance to see him outbox Miranda would be nice. Since Calzaghe left and Kessler has shown his bitchassness ... Bute isn't that known ... Maybe the winner can fight Bute ... but as far as a solid match up I would love to see that.

    All those fights I listed weren't championship fights ...

    Another fight that needs to happen is Duddy v Lee !!

    I agree on some of these as must see fights.. The fights I listed were the fights I tought should take place to see who would be #1 of their division.. Lucian Bute vs Mikkel Kessler would be the fight for SMW if not Edison vs Kessler.. Kessler may be fighting easy fights right now, but he's still sitting on top of the division..

    Even though Hatton vs Torres would be an exceptional fight to see, I don't see Torres being at the top of the division.. Witter vs Torres would be a fight to see now in the Jr. WW division now seeing as how I think Witter will fall from his loss to Bradley unless he can get a rematch..

    If Campbell cant get his fight against Casamayor and Pacquiao beats David Diaz, and the Marquez/Campbell fight does take place, then I can see Pacquiao fighting either Campbell or Marquez in a third rematch for lightweight supremacy..

    Felix Sturm is not a top contender in my eyes in the MW division with his cherry picking ways.. John Duddy & Winky Wright are the next contenders after Pavlik & Abraham..
