    Another fight that the world is begging for, a fight that simply must happen but easily could not. Maybe not now bt in a few years time

    For me this fight is Gamboa vs JML i hope to god that this fight happens but i have a sinking feeling that it will not happen.

    Another example is Wlad Klitschko vs David Haye

    Any others?

    I'm not sure anything could surmount to the stigma attached to may/pac. It'll be a good few years before we're placed in the same scenario as we are now whereby we have 2 legitimate contenders for he p4p crown, both of which compete at the same weight.

    The next biggest event in boxing would have to be Wlad vs Vitali, but even then, I don't think it'd be a patch on may/pac.

    Any permutation of Khan, Bradley, and Alexander.

    These.

    The problem is that they're kind of coming to meet to early to be considered a really amazing set of rivalries. The Pac-May fight was something people didnt even think possible until pac bulldozed his way to 147. In contrast, Khan, Alexander, and Bradley are all very close to each other, and in some ways haven't really been able to show us how great they are independently. I think this is part of the reason that these fights haven't materialized yet. But with all of them having collectively cleaned out 140, who else is left for these guys to fight besides Ortiz and Maidana?

    And yes I agree with the FW fights. The problem is that everyone at that division is super protected. It's a little ridiculous honestly, especially considering that everyone's getting older.

    the question is when will mayweather stop playing games and acting as if he is God of the sport....and just agree to fight...Manny is more than willing...regardless of if you believe he is on roids or not (which i doubt he is)...he's open for the 14 day limit....if Floyd pushes him demands for testing up to fight night, its clear he simply doesnt want to fight...Crackweather Sr. has already said he doesn't want lil' Floyd anywhere near Pacman

    Manny can KO Floyd if they fight soon...time may affect Manny more than Floyd and I think Floyd knows that and wants to delay it more
