After waiting so long for Cotto Margarito to happen, it seems like we need another fight that will capture the interest of fight fans like that one did and some of the other fights did earlier in the year. Which upcoming fight/fights stand out in your minds as ones that you must see?

I think Pavlik should fight like he fought Taylor the second time. If he seemed much more mindful in that fight and he fought tall. If he fights that way I don't think a fight with hopkins would be close but no doubt it would be ugly.

I like Pavlik he's the truth; But I can almost guarantee you that Hopkins will turn this into an ugly, boring fight. He'll grab, hold, hold and punch, use his head in traditional Hopkins style. He will then bitch and moan if he doesn't get the dec.

I've never hoped for a KO against Hopkins but I think he deserves it.

Andrade Is a fighter that I can't miss. I must watch all of his fights because it is just amazing how he can make fights. Imagine if He fought Margarito? That would be the war of Chins.

SHO picked up the October 24 Lucian Bute-Librado Andrade title fight ... i am excited about that, Andrade is incapable of being in a bad fight ... and he still has the most amazing chin i've seen in recent memory

I am personally looking forward to Calzaghe-Jones. I can't wait to see Jones punctuate the end of his career with a giant exclamation point!

I understand now why HBO didn't schedule any cards for the month of August. Bob Poppa and Jim Lampley are in China for the duration of the Olympics and wouldn't have had a lead man for either WCB or BAD. Thankfully it appears September will make up for it.

I want to see Vitali Klitschko vs Sam Peter.
I see the version of Klitschko that destroyed Corrie Sanders and Danny williams demolishing Peter.
The question in my mind is whether or not it's the same Klitschko after the long layoff,and injuries.

Though not at the moment, the Calzaghe-Jones fight, with the huge promotion behind it, will be intriguing by the time November rolls around.
