Just realized, there's really not any super fights on the horizon for this whole year Mayweather DeLaHoya is a total joke, and Mayweather Cotto is not even set and probably won't be. Not much to look forward to at the moment.
Ermm you may be right, but Marquez-Vazquez IV could happen by the end of the year and that should be awesome. Some big fights should be setup for next year too; Floyd-Cotto, Haye-Wlad, JMM-Pac III...
Right. Vasquez Marquez was one of the greatest fights I've seen. It simply can't be topped this year no matter what. I've got mixed feelings about them fighting again this year though.
Margarito-Cotto has the potential but i think Cotto boxes more rather than gets involved with Margarito. Marquez-Vazquez will certainly be very hard to top.
Haha we're only four months in. Theres hardly any fights even schedule after june. And thats barely half way through the year. We have tons to look forward too.
I've been very satisfied thus far into the year. and I agree, we have a long way to go. alot can happen. we'll see berto make a run for a title by years ends also.
I'm looking forward to Mosley-Judah, Cotto-Margarito, and several others that are pending. Come on this year has been leaps and bounds better than 2006. 2007 may have spoiled you.
Theres been some great fights and matchups this year already. For the last few months i recall a good fight every week including a top name. Even fights such as cotto vs gomez, hoya vs Forbes make a good view.
Then for the superfights Calzaghe vs Hopkins is probably at the top of the list. Then you have Pavlik vs taylor 2. Haye vs Maccarinelli.
Cotto vs Margarito looks promising.
Vasquez vs Marquez 4 is anouther one.
Then for the Hoya vs Mayweather rematch it will produce anouther huge view.
Hey, no offense, but if you were entertained by Calzaghe/ Hopkins....Ugliest fight of the year, Oscar/Forbes....Most lopsided fight of the year.....Cotto/Gomez....Slaughter of the year, then it doesn't take much to impress you.
I talking about Big fights with great matchups Dammit!
I think some may have misunderstood. I'm talking about the rest of 2008, and I didn't say there are NO fights coming, just nothing big. The ones mentioned just can't be considered big fights.
Just looking at all the fighters that are 35 and older, and the promising crop that's replacing them.
Paul Williams
Juan Diaz
Kermit Cintron
Katsidis
All have stumbled pretty badly. Definitely a void here. Not that boxing hasn't gone through a few of those, just an observation.
Heayweights?...Of course forget'em all unless Haye comes through.
Whats wrong with lopsided and slaughter? :S Since when did all fights have to be competitive :S i love seeing a slaughter tbh And nothing wrong with somone showing off his skills by dominating an opponent.

Results don't really matter to me. I'm all about SIGNIFICANCE and what each fight does towards future match ups in determining champions.
I loved Hopkins-Calzaghe.
Mosley-Judah is my most anticipated of 2008.
Cotto-Margarito will be the best fight of the year.
OK, I see I'm in the minority here. I happen to believe in "bad fights" I guess everybody else finds good in all of them. . I guess I'm not the hardest of hard core fan.
I think floyd and oscar is a close fight on paper. It still intrigues me a little, although I'd still rather see him against cotto. I like floyds attitude. Although I will agree with Shane, because he does look stupid to me at times as well. Floyd knows this too.
Whens the last time floyd hasnt fought a current or champion? He's had what, 4 straight fights against reinging champions. Doesnt sound like bad matchmaking to me.
i think judah mosely will be a good one. From the sounds of it Judah is really serious about this fight and is training accordingly...and well mosely is mosely...the mans great
March was filled with great fights and considered one of the best months ever in terms of excitement. Sticking to the topic your being harsh on the rest of this year, the HBO card with Gamboa, Kirkland, and Angulo. The unification Mijares v. Munoz, Mosley v. Judah, Pavlik v. Lockett, Quintana v. Williams, Andre Ward v. Jerson Ravelo, Abraham v. Miranda, Diaz v. Pacquiao and that's just May and June.
If Gary Coleman/ Peewee Herman doesn't happen I'll say this year's a wash...
