    Cotto-Mayweather

    Still the hottest ticket in boxing.


    Haye-Klitschko

    A lot of power. Not a lot of durability. Clash of personalities. This is the kind of fight which could reignite interest in the heavyweights.


    Kessler-Pavlik

    Two well-conditioned athletes who can both brawl and box. These kinds of boxers (jabbing boxer-punchers and tactical pressure fighters) make for a very good style match-up.

    My first reaction was, "this would be cruel" but after thinking about it I like it a lot. A very dangerous test for Duddy to prove he knows when to box and it is a step up in level for him.

    The ABC's are a joke. Who cares about unification? This is an excellent match up, but still second to Pavlik/Calzaghe. But Arum has the HBO date for P/A so we do get to see it unless Marquez can some how 'veteran' AA.

    Pavlik vs Calzaghe - two undefeated, popular P4P'ers, one the MW champ, the other the SMW and LHW champ. Great style matchup as well, this could be huge, just a pity that a certain person is being a ***** faced *****.

    Haye vs Klitshcko - Whatever people say about Haye's undeserving status at HW, or that Wlad would crush him in a round or two, come on, this fight would get your adrenaline pumping overtime. The very prospect of this fight is delightful, two huge punching, shaky chinned personalities fighting in a genuine HW superfight. This fight will be made bigger and bigger if Haye can get a couple of impressive HW wins, and possibly grab a belt. The fans would be split on it, it would be amazing.

    Guzman vs Pacquiao - A great style matchup, and possibly to unify all 4 LW belts if Guzman can beat Campbell. This would be another 50-50 fight and a great matchup.
