That's weak
1. Wladimir Klitschko (53-3)
Klitschko has been the dominant heavyweight of the past few years and has two mandatory defenses to deal with because he holds two alphabet titles. One is Russian Alexander Povetkin and the other is American Eddie Chambers. It looks as though Chambers will get first crack in December, likely in Germany.
Next: TBA.
3. Alexander Povetkin (17-0)
The 2004 Olympic gold medalist and one of Wladimir Klitschko's mandatory challenger has hired ESPN's own Teddy Atlas to train him. Povetkin will relocate to the United States and is expected to fight this fall while awaiting a mandatory shot.
Next: TBA.
1. Tomasz Adamek (38-1)
The champ could defend against Bernard Hopkins in January now that talks between Golden Boy and Adamek promoter Main Events have resumed. But there is also still talk of Adamek stepping up to heavyweight for the sideshow of sideshows -- a showdown with Polish countryman Andrew Golota.
Next: TBA.
1. Bernard Hopkins (49-5-1)
Hopkins said he'd like to fight in January around his 45th birthday and said his first choice is the winner of the Nov. 7 Chad Dawson-Glen Johnson fight, but Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer said there is also still a chance to resurrect a fight with cruiserweight champ Tomasz Adamek. Either way, you have to figure this will finally be Hopkins' swan song.
Next: TBA.
5. Karoly Balzsay (21-0)
If Hungary's Balzsay comes through his second defense against ex-title challenger Robert Stieglitz (35-2), he could next defend against Sakio Bika on the Bute-Andrade II HBO undercard.
Next: Aug. 22 vs. Stieglitz.
6. Allan Green (28-1)
Instead of taking more money to fight Bika on the high-profile Sept. 19 Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez undercard (HBO pay-per-view), Green instead will face one-dimensional Victor Oganov (28-2) for less money in an easier fight on Showtime's "ShoBox" in the fall.
Next: Oct. 2 vs. Oganov.
Vagina.
1. Kelly Pavlik (35-1)
After all that hard work to make a deal for Pavlik to defend the middleweight championship against ultra-dangerous Paul Williams, the fight is in jeopardy because Pavlik is supposedly plagued by a nagging staph infection on a left knuckle. So the fight slated for Oct. 3 has been postponed, with Dec. 5 being a good possibility for a make-up date. Let's hope the sides are able to keep this great fight together.
Next: TBA vs. Williams.
2. Sergei Dzindziruk (36-0)
Dzindziruk hoped that he would be defending his belt against Williams in the fall, but it won't happen with Williams facing Pavlik. It has left Dzindziruk upset with promoter Universum.
Next: TBA.
3. Sergio Martinez (44-1-2)
A Sept. 26 defense that was in the works for Martinez, in his home country of Spain, has been called off. Instead, Martinez may fight in the United States in December.
Next: TBA.
5. Verno Phillips (42-12-1)
The gritty former titleholder has been on the shelf since his November loss to Williams and is unhappy with promoter Artie Pelullo. However, with the contract up, Phillips will return to headline a Versus card against former welterweight titlist Carlos Quintana.
Next: Sept. 17 vs. Quintana.
7. Kermit Cintron (31-2-1)
Promoter Lou DiBella has been trying to finalize a bout between welterweight titlist Andre Berto and Shane Mosley. However, Cintron was the first choice as a backup plan, but he radically overpriced himself, killing his chances to get a potential fight with Mosley.
Next: TBA.
10. Alfredo "Perro" Angulo (16-1)
The always-entertaining Angulo returned from his first defeat, a competitive decision loss to Cintron in May, to smash Gabriel Rosado inside two rounds on "Friday Night Fights" on Aug. 7. The win set up Angulo for a return to HBO on the Chad Dawson-Glen Johnson II undercard against Harry Joe Yorgey (22-0-1). Next: Nov. 7 vs. Yorgey.
1. Sugar Shane Mosley (46-5)
With a fight unification bout against Andre Berto all but dead for the fall, there is a possibility Mosley will instead return to HBO to defend his title against dangerous former titlist Joshua Clottey on Dec. 5.
Next: TBA.
4. Andre Berto (25-0)
Talks for a Mosley-Berto unification bout broke down over money, so Berto promoter Lou DiBella made a deal with the handlers of newly crowned titlist Isaac Hlatshwayo for a December fight. However, that deal depends on HBO giving a date to Berto, and it's unclear if that will happen.
Next: TBA.
5. Luis Collazo (30-4)
Collazo is in a mandatory position for a rematch with Berto, but with Berto possibly unifying titles, it means Collazo could wind up fighting for an interim strap against Selcuk Aydin.
Next: TBA.
5. Edwin Valero (25-0)
After turning down $200,000 to defend his title against a nobody on Top Rank's July 25 pay-per-view card, Valero is expected back in the ring on the Nov. 14 Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao undercard, assuming he gets his licensing issues in Nevada cleared up.
Next: TBA.
6. Ali Funeka (30-2-2)
The IBF has grown tired of waiting for its vacant title to be filled by the winner of a twice-postponed match between Yuri Romanov and Fernando Angulo. So it might withdraw the sanction and order a fight between South Africa's Funeka and Guzman to fill the vacancy.
Next: TBA.
5. Malcolm Klassen (24-4-2)
With Guerrero safely through his bout against Hinojosa, the South African titleholder will come to America to defend his belt on HBO against "The Ghost." Guerrero manager Shelly Finkel said the fight is a done deal.
Next: Aug. 22 vs. Guerrero.
Don't miss that fight, Ghost going to shut some fools up.
10. Rafael Marquez (38-5)
Although plans for a fourth fight against Israel Vazquez have been scrapped, Marquez is staying busy after a yearlong layoff. He knocked out Jose Francisco Mendoza in the third round in May and returns in Mexico against Gonzalo Munguia (13-6-3).
Next: Aug. 22 vs. Munguia.
1. Celestino Caballero (32-2)
Instead of waiting around for a big fight, Panama's Caballero, who has been relentlessly calling out titlist Juan Manuel Lopez, will stay busy by going to Mexico to defend his unified belts against journeyman Francisco Leal (14-4-2).
Next: Aug. 29 vs. Leal.

Margarito has/had zero hand or foot speed. that fight was taylor made for Shane. and he took advantage.
so williams is going to move on and fight some else now?
Seems to be the feeling I'm getting from what I have been reading. There is definitely something going on with Pavlik outside this whole staph infectiongarbage.

Bernard Hopkins, Former Two-Division World Champion and Golden Boy Promotions Partner

Shane Mosley, Welterweight World Champion and Golden Boy Promotions Partner

Paulie Malignaggi, Former Junior Welterweight World Champion
"I've been in the gym literally the entire year; I've maybe missed three weeks, that was it."
"Believe me, I am ready to fight, I'm sharp, I wanted this fight and I'm ready."
Malcolm Klassen, IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion
"I didn't come all the way to Texas to give my title away."

Robert Guerrero, Former Two-Time Featherweight World Champion
"I'm ready to go. I had a great six-week camp. I've been sparring with Shane Mosley. Who's better to spar with than Shane Mosley? So tune in Saturday night because I'm ready to win another world title."
