    I'm hoping Proksa's promoter will get him into some big fights in 2012.

    Middleweight has a lot of talent, but fights between the top ten guys are not being made.

    It would be good see someone emerge from that group. I'd like to see Martinez take on Golovkin or Pirog.

    Bute will likely get Froch, Kessler/Steiglitz, and maybe a Dirrel brother(both are looking to finally get paid.)

    Those 3 KO wins along with a mandatory defense against George or rodriguez would be a great year for the top SMW in the world.

    I think Welliver, Mitchell and Wach will have big yrs at HW, while el Nino's huge step up fight for early spring 2012 seems to be gone now that he's nearly been decapitated by a gang of assassins. Hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery and that the thugs are brought to swift and horrible judgement.:-(

    Would love to see Khan/Brook as a win for either would really bring them to the top of the WW ladder and set up a year end showdown with Pac or PHONYMAY.

    I'm expecting to see JCC to really move along and possibly up to SMW to challenge Ward and KO his ***** ass or chase him to LHW where he can fight the old ****ing man for an easy decision win.

    Hoping that Taylor can maintain the course at MW and make some noise, and that KP can beat his disease.

    Anthony Dirrel should really make some noise with his first few fights in 2012 and James Kirkland should KO Canelo this yr and take his title.:deal

    well, he has on more than several occasions found ways to NOT fight Bute. G@@53N will not let his bread and butter be brutally and visciously exposed but the world best SWM....so instead he'll prolly beat Anthony Dirrel by a dec then flee to LHW to fight 48 y/o Hopkins and maybe Pascal or Cleverly.....IDK, but not anyone who could hurt him like Cloud, Erdei, or even Dawson.:deal

    I hope Bute can finally get the opponents he wants. Ward-Bute needs to happen, and in a neutral location - I believe Bute would win if the officiating is fair.

    Brook - Will win a title
    Gamboa - Will be a beast
    Chisora - Will beat Vitali
    Garcia - Will win a belt
    Donaire - Will dominate more
    Tarver - Will win a Cruiserweight Belt
    Bhop - Will beat Dawson.
    All I can think for now.

    Bute want's it right away so from the start you have more chances.
    Ward feels the need to take it easy for a fight or two, hype the desired match more while Bute will become a certainty and the desire for the fight will grow, make some money before risking all in one of the biggest SMW fights in history of the division, and if it wasn't for the 2+ years exile of Bute from groundbreaking tournament called SuperSix his fans would be more understanding on Ward's desire.
