    Bika v. Andrade is a great fight. Of course, there would be Andrade v. Bika I, II and III. :D

    Jones v Calzaghe is the all time match up at 168. No question. For excitement though, i'm going to be biased and say Calzaghe v Benn.

    i think any fight between bika,andrade,miranda and berrio will be great,maybe they could all fight the other 3,fab 4 style.
    supermiddle is a pretty stacked division at the moment with no dominant fighter(not including calzaghe)

    Jones-Calzaghe. But you see Jones will never be remembered as a SMW, despite his biggest win comes from that division (Toney).

    Maybe Benn vs. Calzaghe or Toney vs. Calzaghe.

    I myself always wanted to see Calzaghe-Ottke, two fighters ruling the division for long years. Ottke, much talked about some close and controversial fights, but actually known by very few, was very very good on the defensive side and Calzaghe is all about offense. What a perfect match-up is style, the two fighters have to defeat their exact opposite. Of course, despite being vastly underrated, Ottke is not among the very best of 168. Just an interesting fight.

    Yeah, although Berrio and Miranda don't quite have the chins to compete against the other two in true classics. I would put Bika against Andrade and Berrio against Miranda, though. Berrio v. Miranda is a better fight than any others involving one of these two and one of the other two, I think.

    mirandas isnt that bad,he was only stopped by pavlik and abraham,2 big punchers.
    and bika waas down and in trouble against codrington.
    i remember watching andrade vs yusef mack thinking he's just gonna walk through him after the shots he took vs kessler then he got dropped in the first i was gobsmacked.
    im surprised 1 of these match ups hasnt been made.id most like to see miranda vs andrade.

    I think Miranda is a bit overrated. True, Andrade doesn't have the biggest punch, but Miranda's not a big enough puncher to stop Andrade, even though he could score a KD. Andrade would cut him down fairly quickly because Miranda doesn't have much of a defence, nor does he have good footwork. You need a good defence, good footwork and a good chin to be competitive with Andrade, it seems.

    In any case, I'm sure some of these fights will be made soon.

    Kessler vs Bute would be a clash of the 2 best now
    Froch vs Andrade would be great

    Miranda v. Bute? He wouldn't last as long as Berrio did, that's for sure. mid-rounds KO. Berrio was a dangerous puncher because he was so imprevisible. Miranda...you can see him cocking for the punch and doesn't have the same fluid style. IMO
