1. Want to see Khan face down sometime next year after he breezes past Molina....

2. Like to see Froch-Kessler 2.........and another Kessler victory!!

3. Want Floyd to stay unbeaten all year...and Marquez to quit while he's ahead...

4. Want Hoppo to retire before Cleverly tries to make a "NAME" off an old man...

5. Want to see Saunders, Groves, Brook all fight for World titles.....

6. Want to see either Fury or Price vs a klits......

7. Want to see the moderators on here chilling out more....

The one I fully agree with is number 4. I think Cleverly would get his back side handed to him, but, in case he did win, I couldn't bear the crowing from his (very few) supporters.

1) An end to these pathetic silver, diamond, interim, 'regular', 'super', international etc titles.

2) José Suileman to be ousted as the head of the WBC.

3) BoxNation to fail and Warren's stable to head back towards Sky or, as I'm a fantasist, terrestrial TV.

4) Ricky Burns to fight either a unification with either Adrien Broner or, more realistically, Miguel Vazquez.

5) Donaire to face off against Rigondeaux.

6) Froch to secure a world title defence (preferably against Kessler, but I'll settle for Stevenson) at the mighty City Ground.

7) The 'old guard' of Mayweather, Pacquiao, Marquez, Cotto, Hopkins etc to retire.

8) Kell Brook to secure the IBF Welterweight title and then defend against Khan.

9) Yoel Judah to disappear.

10) Benny Ricardo to suffer a case of ruptured vocal chords, ending his commentary career.

In typical fashion, I'll be lucky to get none out of that ten, I imagine.

I want to see Floyd lose actually. Him and Manny both scuppered the biggest fight of a generation. Manny has been robbed and flattened, Floyds turn next I hope.

Khan to not speak in public.

Mike Hennessy to lose a bit weight. The man annoy me just to look at.

Price and Fury to fight. There can only be one!

Vitali to retired. I reckon he has earned it.

Gennady Golovkin vs Sergio Martinez, I expect them both to ease through there next fights, if this could be made at the tale end of 2013 I think it would be a FOTY contender

Froch v Kessler II - Obviously
Golovkin v Martinez
Manny and Floyd to retire
Matthysse v Garcia
Bob Arum to leave boxing by any means possible
Serious action to be taken against all PED users in the sport
Hopkins to call it
BoxNation to fail is a good call by Chris. There can never be mainstream interest for this channel, whereas any Sky or terrestrial TV is gets far more exposure

Froch to get revenge over Kessler in Nottingham
Price to fight someone a bit more meaningful; Helenius would be good.
Wlad to fight a bit more viciously.
Vitali to have one more fight and enjoy it before hanging them up for good.
Terrestrial TV boxing to get more popular again.
Floyd to actually get floored. Should bring out the best in him.
Chris Eubank Jr to actually find KO punch-power
No more ill-advised "comebacks".

Froch to stop Kessler late in a horrific war, do another number on Bute, avenge the Ward defeat then knock out Degale/Cleverly who by then will be legit world level as a retirement party. Varying levels of likelihood there.

Broner v Gamboa to happen

Pacquiao v Mayweather to happen

Mayweather to lose to somebody, I'd prefer it to be Pacquiao but anybody really

Martinez to retire as undefeated champion

Golovkin to take over the middleweight division, pole axing Jr along the way

Donaire v Rigo

Pacman v Marquez V

Haye v Vitali, although I wouldn't blame Vitali for retiring, there are no other interesting fights out there for him.

Price to KO Fury

Pascal v Cloud

Boxing to return to terrestrial

Ronald Mcintosh to start running a single universally recognised governing body that implements one world title per division and strict testing.

Bob Arum to be fed into a threshing machine.

Rowley to meet Bob Sheridan

Chris to meet Benny

Me to meet Gwyneth Paltrow

Understandable.

Why? Want the same but a Cobra win.

3. Want Floyd to stay unbeaten all year...and Marquez to quit while he's ahead...

Floyd staying active for a year would be a start.

4. Want Hoppo to retire before Cleverly tries to make a "NAME" off an old man...

Hoppo would have to be in his rocking chair flinging poo at the nurses before Clev could beat him, he doesn't know enough and there are bums aplenty for Frank to feed him yet.

5. Want to see Saunders, Groves, Brook all fight for World titles.....

Want to see Groves fight.

6. Want to see either Fury or Price vs a klits......

Want to see Fury or Price vs each other (neither is ready for a K-Bro, Price has fought literally nobody, I could KO Harrison in the first fecking round these days).

7. Want to see the moderators on here chilling out more....

So did Coxy...

Sky weren't exactly giving us the fights we wanted anyway. Boxnation is showing us the top cards from the states, which we could never get before.

Froch to hammer Bute again and defeat Kessler at the City Ground

Marquez to retire after his redemption KO of Pacquiao

Fury to be knocked out cold like Hatton or Pacman

No more box office such as boxnation/primetime as they are Frak Poopie

Bellew/Brook/De Gale titles shots

And finally.....no more TV license.

Price v Fury (though if they both keep winning wouldn't mind it being the following year with hopefully a title to fight for)

Froch v Kessler 2 (just has to be a war)

Quigg v Frampton

Donaire v Rigo

Eubank Jr getting into the mix

Antony Joshua turning pro

Brook getting a world title

Burns stepping it up and getting a bit more recognition

Macklin getting another world title chance

Alvarez in increasingly difficult fights

Gamboa getting in the ring more

More stacked cards like the last few weeks

David Price to KO David Haye

Rigondeaux to make the big fights because he's getting on. Just read Poonsawat fight is off which is disappointing.

JMM v Manny 5.

Khan to rise from the flames. Everyone loves an underdog except some Yanks.

Like to see Frampton make progress.

Kessler v Froch......wouldn't know who to support.

Mayweather taking a risk on fighting maybe Sergio.

Pity its not possible to have an old fashioned slagging match these days.

You must by ready to get on that imaginary plane soon.

All the best I've learned a lot on this thread.

You can have a slagging match by all means, just do it via PM or exchange email addresses and do it that way.
