If Wladimir Klitschko is able to convincingly beat Chris Byrd...?

Man, that is a tough question, as a boxer enthusiast, and amateur boxer myself I am really excited about the Chris Byrd Wladimir Klitschko fight.  \n\nNow, about your question, I do think Klitschko is going to easily defeat Chris Byrd, by even more than he did their first fight, and I believe that James Toney will then be the Ring Magazine number one fighter, however I believe everyone will then consider Wladimir Klitschko the heavyweight to beat.  Klitschko looked great in his last fight, and will defeat Chris Byrd by unanimous decision.

B-Hop is moving up to fight tarver, so either way i dont think many would say he wasnt one of the great fighters at 160. Probably one of the best things b hop has going for him is that tarver is coming down in weight from that foolish rocky movie (and a lot of guys cant really recover from cutting all the weight for one reason or another). Tarver is a pretty skilled boxer so hopkins edge against most fighters probably doesnt come into play as much here. I dont know how much he has left in the tank at this point, but i do hope he can beat tarver for one last hurrah. Still i think tarver wins by a close decision, since thats the way it seems their styles will dictate this fight. Either way hopkins is an all time great at 160.

De La Hoya would be foolish to try to brawl with Duran (one of the best if not the best brawler ever who could still box). Oscar would have to box or he possibly loses this fight by KO. It's hard to go against a legend, possibly one of the ten best boxers of all time. I'll take Duran by a unanimous decision. Excellent dream match Pancho.

I'd go with Tim Sylvia, the UFC champ. He's almost 7 foot tall and can wrestle and take him down.

I agree with davidc that Wright will win... however, he is going to have to start fighting from the opening bell. Wright has a tendency to start slowly, which is something I just don't think he can do with Taylor (ask the NEW LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD... BERNARD HOPKINS about starting slowly against Taylor). I believe that if Winky does not allow Taylor to get a few rounds under his jockstrap and use his long jab, he will be able to frustrate and confuse the current middleweight champion.\nIf Wright does not let Taylor get comfy in the ring, his southpaw stance, slick defense, and explosive body punching will be too much for Jim Lampley's golden child.\nI think Taylor will be exposed as the protected former Olympian who has not really had to work too much for his title.\nHopefully, upon losing his middleweight title, Taylor will move up to supermiddleweight and fight Calzaghe. He probably won't do that as he will be shown tapes of another overprotected, overhyped former Olympian being decimated.\nAnyways, my answer is Wright!!!

I really dont think he is ready to get in with Manny yet, maybe somewhere down the line after he has been in against some decent fighters and builds experience he might have a chance a slim one at that. In Valeros last fight as you will know he moved up a level to take on Mosquera who isnt the biggest puncher around and promptly got put on his backside, imagine what the freakish power of the Pacman would do to him at the moment, i think it would be a slugfest for the 2 or so rounds that it might last but i could only see one winner if this fight took place now and that would be Manny "The Pacman" Pacquiao.

It's a possibility. The larger fighter has a natural advantage and almost always wins. The only real obstacle I see is Wladimir Klitschko, which would be a great matchup.\n\nThe biggest problem, though, would be unifying the alphabet belts since most boxing organizations will not even rank someone who has a title from one of the other organizations (Valuev has the WBA title). The only way unification bouts could be made would be if there was enough interest and enough money in a fight for the organizations to decide to sanction it. This is especially difficult since most people think of Valuev as being slow with nothing in his arsenal other than the jab. Nikolai definitely needs to get on tv first (he's only been shown on pay-per-view here in the States) and have an exciting enough bout to get the public's attention. Then he might get a shot.

If this was a boxing match, Ghallager would get disqualified right off the bat. You're not allowed to have weapons, you know. If he managed to keep it clean, though, I'm pretty sure he would win. Richard Simmons may know how to keep fit, but he's never been particularly fast or strong. Throwing and missing punches would only leave him wide open to get beaten, which would make him even more disoriented and allow him to get hit more. The referee will probably stop the bout within two rounds if Simmons doesn't get counted out.

Pound-for-pound? This is a tough call. Yes, Mayweather is more technically savvy and a more complete fighter than Pacquiao. He is an excellent fighter and everyone knows that already, especially those who had the misfortune of facing him inside the ring. HIs last fight was a real clinic from start to finish, with the Pretty Boy simply outclassing his strong but slow opponent and as a result, the decision was never in doubt even from round 1. On the other hand, Pacquiao's last fight showed how much he has improved through the years, from a one-dimensional, power-punching lefty to a clever, shifty two-fisted bomber. And the scary thing is that he seems to be continuing to improve some more.  There is no denying Mayweather's skill in the same way that the PacMan's power is already a given. But between the two, I would have to choose Pacquiao because of his ability to IMPROVE his game and complement his power with some slick in-ring moves. I was particularly impressed with the way he defended against a barrage of Morales' punches by leaning on the ropes, sliding quietly to his left and then, BOOM, unleashing a crunching left hook as he moved away from a stunned El Terrible. That was the move that put fear in Morales' eyes, for he just found out how much the PacMan has improved.. and it's a whole painful lot (which also says a lot about the talent and discipline of the Filipino icon). Apart from that, and from a spectator's point of view, which one do I really want to watch: an informative, deliberate boxing documentary or an edge-of-your-seat boxing suspense-thriller? Im gonna go with Pacquiao's suspense thriller, where every second in the ring counts and you absolutely have no idea when, where or how the fight's gonna end.

I don't know what going on with Scott Harrison recently he seems to have lost the plot. I can't see him being mentally ready to fight on December 9th and its probably in his best interests to not fight and be stripped of the title. Nicky Cook is no joke and i would favour him to beat Harrison at his best even though it would be close, but if they fight on the 9th i think Cook will win easily due to Harrison not being mentally or physically ready.

yes but not in his level maybe by a heavyweight fighter.

Mayweather.......it will be lopsided. The only question is if Floyd can hit hard enough or put enough accumulation of punishment on Baldomir to knock him out.

manny pacquiao answered that question himself,he said anybody can be his opponent as long as its in 130lbs. with his determination and hard training i think he can beat any opponent that comes his way, im very proud of him! his our countries great pride.....the filipino people are always in full support and praying for him.thats why!!!!

JAMES LIGHTS OUT TONEY WOULD BE A GOOD FIGHT FOR BYRD SINCE BOTH ARE MICHIGAN FIGHTERS IT WOULD BE A BIG DEAL THERE.\nHE COULD GET ONE LAST PAYDAY BEFORE HE RETIRES.

Is this a trick question?  obviously no one can beat Kimbo in a fight.  The man is a savage!  Now,.. if you were to pit Kimbo v.s a silver back gorilla, or the preditor.  then maybe you would have yourself a fight

Cookie, he was the best heavyweight I have seen in 35 years more skilful than Tyson, Holmes, Lewis, but there have been other fighters at other weights who were just as sensational, like Leonard, Duran, Hagler, Barrera, de la Hoya. Tough call, my friend

My gut is telling me Erik Morales will win, but I already made up my mind it would be Manny Pacquiao, due to the fact that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will not be fighting on that card. This may seem weird, but recently Morales has won all his fights with Chavez Jr. on the undercard. And the two without Julito on the undercard, Morales has lost. So I have to test my theory. Regardless, I can't see Morales losing big so I'm predicting a (possibly controversial) split decision for Pacquiao.
