    I honestly think Calzaghe-Hopkins II would be the biggest, it would be an awful fight but I would generarate a ton of interest, undefeated Calzaghe against a resurgent B-Hop

    I would say Mayweather v Pac or Margarito v Cotto II.

    I don't think it would sell anywhere near the amount pac-hatton will, the first fight was less then stella. Hopkins spoiling for 12 rounds again would bore everyone to tears, f hopkins choose to fight it would be good. Im afraid it would be a rerun of the first fight over again. :patsch

    Pac-PBF, no doubt is by far bigger than Pac-Hatton.

    As is stands mayweather is retired, but i do agree id love to see margo-cotto again great fight but i think margo would break his heart again. Would be a big upset to see cotto take the win in a rematch, still lets see what he has got left against jennings. Hopefully he won't be damaged goods like lacy was after his beat down :good

    Lewis-klitschko 2 would be bigger then that but like lewis, mayweather is retired :yep

    Pac/JMM lll, Cotto/Marg ll are big big fights, but compared to Pac V Hatton, they are small fry. This fight, both in terms of stature and in financial terms will be as big as DLH V Floyd and Lennox V Tyson.

    Bring it on!

    These 4 possible bouts come to mind - Hopkins/Calzaghe, Hatton/Pac, JMM/Pac III, Marquez/Vasquez IV.

    Hatton vs Pac,Haye vs Wlad,Pavlik vs Abraham...PBF-Pac IF Hatton loses
    The Marge/Cotto rematch just doesn't do it for me,the first fight was my favourite of 2008 but i feel Marge has Cotto's number and will finish him quicker this time

    Fair enough. But we shouldn't forget that the first 5 rounds of Margo/Cotto looked like a mismatch. I guess in the end that just made Margarito's win all the more sweeter but if Cotto is capable of doing that in the first half of the fight then he's capable of doing it the whole fight, so I wouldn't write him off too quickly. That's what makes the rematch interesting. Everyone knows that Mayweather will come out of retirement at some point because he retired unbeaten, young, in his prime and for no obvious reason.
