I would be very surprised if we see Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao square off.
Guts
Kelly Pavlik, who announced his retirement from boxing in January, will certainly not be remembered as an all-time great, but he was a blue-collar hero, who fought his way up from the back woods and did things his own unfashionable way.
The Ohio native, who fought at middleweight and super-middleweight, was not the greatest stylist in the world but, much like Ricky Hatton, he showed heart, guts and you enjoyed his fights; he was terrific value for money.
Pavlik had some great nights - he knocked out Jermain Taylor and beat him on points on another occasion and went 12 rounds with Bernard Hopkins and Sergio Martinez - and put in better performances than his talent should have allowed.
He was a real people's champion who had some excellent fans; I remember being in Atlantic City for one of his fights and his supporters launched into a rendition of: 'There's only one Ian Darke'! Boxers like him are a dying breed.
I think Tom Stalker, who made his professional debut last weekend, beating Kristian Laight, could be of that ilk, though; I'm not going to predict what's in his future, but he has turned his life around through boxing, worked hard through his amateur career and has that typical Scouse grit and spirit.
And we will get the joy of seeing perhaps the two toughest fighters in the world square off at the O2 Arena on May 25: Britain's Carl Froch and Denmark's Mikkel Kessler.
They are not the most streamlined or the most skilful but they will provide ample entertainment - and possibly the fight of the year.
