    I was thinking about various fights and I narrowed it down to two, either for the mix of styles or simply for the entertainment that would be provided if the guys face off.

    James Toney vs David Haye
    If Toney can stay in shape as he has done recently, his style and boxing genius even at his age, would enable him to be a serious threat to any guy that doesn't outreach and outweigh him too much. Haye wouldn't be as cautious to exchange with Toney and it would be interesting to see how Toney would deal with Haye's speed.

    Chris Arreola vs Sam Peter
    I see these 2 guys offering a somewhat similar style and it would provide for an entertaining fight as both guys would most likely stand in the pocket and throw bombs as long as the fight lasts.


    What are the fights you would love seeing and why ?

    Briggs vs Valuev

    Too very big and heavy guys.
    Briggs has a big speed advantage but will slow down soon.

    Denis Boytsov vs Ray Austin

    Boystov need experience and Austin is the right opponent for him now.
    btw someone needs to k.o. Austin before he gets another fight with Klitschko.


    HW tournament with Tua, Arreola, Adamek and Peter
    all this guys can punch and take an punch i think it would be great.


    Solis vs Chambers

    Haye vs Chagaev

    Tua vs Ruiz 2

    Povetkin - Toney

    I agree with that list, but I think Francesco Pianeta needs to be added to that list.

    Peter/Arreola for me. This would be a very action packed fight. Though I do believe Peter will get the knockout by the 6 round. Noone in the division can stand toe to toe with Peter and go punch for punch with him. Way too good of chin and the power to knock your head off your shoulders.

    Any mixture of fights between:-

    Haye
    Adamek
    Arreola
    Chambers
    Povetkin
    Tua
    Toney
    Solis

    These would all interest me at this point.

    Arreola v Tua. Guaranteed war.
    Haye v Povetkin. Just a quality match up.

    I agree. Toney vs Haye would be great.

    Also, any matchup between Tua, Peter, or Arreola would be good to see.

    Put Briggs in that mix, as well. Tua, Peter, Briggs, and Arreola.......any combination. :good

    That sounds more like Tua in terms of toughness and durability. Peter was almost K'Oed by Macline and Wlad had him wobbling around the ring in their epic encounter. Arreola and Peter would be a great fight as you say. They both have great chins, very good punching power, Vitali admits Chris hurt him with a JAB in their fight, and they have what you demand in a boxer, a warrior's heart. I still maintain that Wlad is an awesome boxer and his greatness will be recognized only after he retires.
    He simply hasn't got the toughness that some folks demand of their heavyweight champions.
