    #5. Vic Darchinyan vs Nonito Donaire

    In 2007's knockout of the year, Donaire upset the odds with a brutal KO victory over the heavy-handed Darchinyan. Since then, Vic put on a career best performance against p4p'er Mijares and a shutout victory over bitter-rival Arce making this proposed rematch one of the hottest fights that can be made in boxing.





    #4. Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham

    Middleweight supremacy beckons. Two fighters with knockout power, two fighters who come to fight, two fighters who are regarded as the number 1 and 2 in their division. Expect action from the get go.





    #3. Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye

    The biggest heavyweight fight since Vitali vs Lewis in 2003. The consensus #1 Heavyweight vs the undisputed cruiserweight champion, this is THE fight to save the heavyweight division. Will Wladimir get that all important career defining win or will this mark the reign of Haye's heavyweight assault ?

    Dont expect this to go the distance...




    #2. Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley vs Miguel Cotto

    Any one of these thanks.





    #1. Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez

    If ever there was unfinished business between two fighters its here. Arguably the 2 best fighters in the world, and 2 of the best this generation. How often do we get to see that ? A legendary trilogy awaits.

    Id prefer Mayweather vs Pacman or Marquez over your choices simply because they are closer in size and also the P4P top two. I dont think Maywaether is really a Welter although Im not against the idea of seeing him get a beating.

    Of all those fights though, its Abraham v Pavlik that I want the most. The Middleweight division needs to get back some glamour. At the moment its pretty pathetic.

    As much as I hate to say it, I dont think Marquez or Pacquiao could beat Mayweather in all honesty. Where as I think Mosley and Cotto have a real chance IMO, and both are champions at WW and we wouldnt have any of this "oh JMM and PAC aint welterweights" bull**** after it.


    At the end of the day though I'd watch Floyd fight anyone, just to see him fight.

    I'd love to see Floyd v Cotto, seeing as Cotto is an elite bigger guy. If Pac thrashes Hatton i'd love to see Floyd step in and challenge him.

    Abraham v Pavlik is the other fight i'm desperate to see.

    BTW did you lift your writings from an article or are you studying journalism?

    Winner of Froch-Taylor (Taylor probably,) vs Kessler

    I'm surprised there isn't more call or Cotto-Margarito II, even if it would have to be in Mexico.....Should be made imo.
