Boxing

HEAVYWEIGHT - Wladimir Klitschko ( 49 - 3 ) - Coming off a summer win vs Brewster he is now ready to unify this title against WBO champ Sultan Ibragimov on Febuary 23 at MSG. Sultan is coming off a win vs fossil Evander Holyfield.

LIGHTHEAVY - Bernard Hopkens ( 48-4-1 ) - He is ready to fight supermiddle champ Joe Calzaghe on April 19, and it's not on PPV, HBO will have it on. Hopefully it lives up to it's billing as one of the best fights in 2008.

MIDDLEWEIGHT - Kelly Pavlik ( 32-0 ) - He is coming off a big 7th round KO of Taylor and now will give him a rematch on Febuary 16. It will be at 166 so the title is not on the line.

JR. MIDDLE - Vernon Forrest ( 40-2 ) - He has nothing lined up yet but wouldn't it be great to see him try for revenge against Richardo Mayorga who gave him both his defeates.

WELTERWEIGHT - Floyd Mayweather ( 39-0 ) - With a very sucessful 2007 he will take off until his fight with De La Hoya in September. Most would rather see him fight Cotto but agains Oscar he can make 25 million.
