Early 2010, Boxing was never been expected to turned out cl
assy as the last quarter of the year outcome. Pace has been set up and momentum kept rolling in preparation for upcoming year 2011. We have witnessed Pacquiao outpointing Margarito through round 12, Donaire literally toying Sidorenko, Martinez knocking Williams out cold in the canvas, and of course how could anyone forget Grandpa B-hop relentlessly bullying the prime Pascal till round 12 though resulted draw still earned respect that almost served him the crown for being the oldest champ in Boxing history.

Great fights will be inevitable to come forward on 2011; however, I could not resist producing my own wish list.
1. Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao: Who would have not desired about this fight? Quality fights like Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Hagler, Tyson-Lewis name it. The Greatest fight could have ever be between one of the best offensive fighter trying to crack up the skill of the best defensive fighter I've ever seen in my entire boxing life. Not to mention potentially being the most lucrative fight ever that could even reach the stature of bringing back boxing visibility to non-boxing fans again. Word is Self-explanatory.
2. Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao vs Sergio Martinez: Call me a Pactard or Homofloyd or whatever but I would still love to see these great fighters if their supposedly negotiation failed to give their best performance against a guy once thought a mediocre fighter now eventually to become the toughest SOB in the Boxing industry.
3. Klitschko vs Haye: This is the heavyweight version of Floyd-Pacquiao drama apart from there are two Klitschkos that are willing to fight. There has been noone that can put any of those two brothers into a competitive fight; unfortunately the one seems to deserve it continuously quacking while ducking.
4. Nonito Donaire vs Abner Mares: Of course Nonito is being setup to a great monumental fight against Montiel on February and the contract has been signed before now. I pick Nonito not just because he is a Filipino, but technically speaking I could see him stealing away the show by unanimous decision. Mares on the other hand can handle Agbeko effortlessly. Hence, I expect them to fight mid of the year.
5. Juanma Lopez vs Yuriorkis Gamboa: equally talented, best of the best current featherweight fighters. Upside Gamboa is a speedy monster that resembles with the prime Cotto or even Tyson. Lopez on the other hand could provide the power and heart that any probable great fighter possesses. Downside, both of them had their trips on the canvas although rebounded afterwards to knock their opponents out. Lastly, they have both perfect records, nuff said.
6. Amir Khan vs Timothy Bradley: Khan will not go anywhere without facing this type of fighter. Bradley who will likely to win against Alexander this upcoming month will give Khan the toughest fight of his dear life. Khan has been water tested when he fought Maidana that gave me the impression of signing him into sprint competition; hence, I would everyday tweet him to stop dreaming fighting the likes of Mayweather, Pacquiao or Berto. Somehow, being too slick and fast, if he could bring back his speedy dodging against Maidana, he may pull a unanimous win decision.
7. Miguel Cotto vs Andre Berto: if Arum could have just think what's best for Boxing Fans, this will be a great matchup. Both hard hitting with extraordinary skills, I pick Berto slightly over Cotto though for being the aggressive one and that usually brings Cotto in trouble. PRESSURE
