THE BRYGUY'S 2007 WISHLIST
First off I would like to say I'm pretty happy with 2006. I got to see my first big fight, Hatton Collazo at the Banknorth Garden. I was able to see one of my favorite fighters keep progressing and have a great year himself.(Matt godfrey knocked out another undefeated cruiserweight in the first round. Then took a UD in 12 against a proven fighter in Danny Batchelder. I saw my main man B-hop put on a boxing clinic against Antonio Tarver. Last but not least I made some terrible predictions! I hope I can change that in 2007. Probably not, but here goes my wishlist and maybe a few predictions for '07.
Heavyweights:
Just keep plugging along I guess. I like some things about '06, Brewster - Liakhovich, Shannon Briggs mouth, and Klitschko's punch. I hated others, Shannon Briggs actual fight, mandatories, and too many fatties.
1. I would like to see the champions actually fight the champions. I'm sick of seeing bad mandatories get the chance to fight for titles they don't deserve. How many times can you watch valuev fight guys like Monte Barrett? Klitschko vs. Brock? Someone please help me! Am I the only one that can see this going on?!
2. How about more interviews with Shannon Briggs and James Toney. The most entertaining things about the division this year was thier giant mouths!
Cruiserweights:
Is it just me or could this be an exciting division if people would fight each other?
1. How many times do I have to ask? Chris Byrd vs. O'Neil Bell. This could be such a great fight. In a year when this division could've capitalizzed on having a unified champ, they did nothing! Pleas make this happen somebody, I'm begging you!
2. My boy Matt Godfrey should just keep doing what he's doing. I hope he isn't rushed into a title fight. I'd like to see him fight 3 or 4 more times in '07 and maybe get a title fight in early '08.
Light Heavies:
This division is getting some new blood finally.
1. I want to see more of everyone. Paul Briggs, even though he lost to Thomas Adamek twice. Both fights were exciting brawls. Thomas Adamek is set to fight new kid on the block Chad Dawson. I'm going out on a limb and saying Dawson good enough to win. Whoever does I want to see them both more than once this year.
2. I want to see Bernard hopkins get his rematch with Roy Jones Jr. As I said before, this could be a great fight now because both guys have aged. This is a win-win for everyone. Get it done!
3. I would also like to see Calzaghe step up in weight to take on Hopkins. I think Bernard should have the chance to keep Joe from breaking his 20 defense record. Maybe Hopkins could go down to 168 and try for another title.
Middles:
I'll put the super-middle and middle in one group to save time.
1. Let's see more of Joe Calzaghe. I am interested in seeing the Manfredo fight. I think Peter has gotten much better under the tutelage of Freddie Roach and could give Calzaghe a run for his money. Even if he doesn't it will make for a much better fight to watch than Calzaghe - Bika.
2. I would love to see Jermain Taylor move up in weight to fight Calzaghe. Could Calzghe put on a show against another 2000 olympian?
3. Winky and Taylor need to do it again. I thought Jermain pulled off the first fight and Winky is a big cry baby. Either way we need a descisive victory. I think just like in his second fight with Hopkins Jermain will fight better and pull off a UD victory.
4. Edison Miranda and Arthur Abraham need to fight again. This time it needs to be on HBO or Showtime. I've seen most of the fight on youtube and love to see them do it again in America.
Jr. Middles:
This could be one of the more exciting divisions in boxing. Lately they seem like the heavies with people avoiding each other for terrible mandatories.
1. Someone give Jose Antonio Rivera a chance. This guy has been an exciting fighter for quite some time. Every time he deserves a shot against a good fighter for good money some sabotages him. This time the WBC has told him he has to fight a guy who hasn't fought in 2 years(Travis Simms). After he mops the ring with Simms pleas give him another title shot.
2. Oscar and Floyd should fight each other. Oh wait that's already happening. Sweet! I say Floyd wins by UD, but it'll be much closer than people think. I was gonna go with Oscar, but he's on the cover of the new fight night game.
3. Just put fights togther. Mosely, Spinks, Karmazin, Rivera,Mayweather, DeLahoya. I'm not even mentioning the guys that could move up from 147.
Welterweight:
Same thing as the Jr. Middles. Just put good fights together. Ricky Hatton,Migueul Cotto, Kermit Cintron, Zab Judah, Antonio Margarito, Mayweather, the lsit goes on and on.
1. I would also like people to give louis Callazo a chance. He gave Ricky Hatton a run for his money, and was in a barn burner that no one saw against Rivera. He obviously puts on a good show and is willing to fight any of the fighters mentioned above. Perhaps Quintana vs. Callazo.
2. More Andre Berto. I like this kid and like the fact that I have been able to see him so often this early in his career.
Jr. Welterweights:
Now that both Castillo and Corrales have moved up in weight this could be a very good division as well.
1. I would like to see Vivian Harris and Junior Witter get it on.(Fight I mean, you perverts.)
Anything lighter than this should include The Pac-man! I wanna see pacman Barrera II and Jaun Manuel Marquez-Pacman II.
That's enough of that peace!
