Many interesting topics in this article.
Calzaghe-Kessler maybe moving to Showtime? HBO money may be the deciding factor.
Mayweather relinquishing 154 title & keeping 147 title to keep the match with Hatton.
Vitali's fight with Jameel McCline on Sept. 22 will be on Showtime along with Maskaev-Peter on Oct. 6.
Fernando Vargas finally calling it quits after he fight Mayorga.
Chagaev-Ibragimov will take place on Oct. 13 in Moscow. No US broadcaster announced yet.
Lightweight title holders Julio Diaz and Juan Diaz are talking unification bout. (The rumor is whoever wins will move up to 140 to face either Hatton {if he is still there} or Paulie.)
Mormeck fights black englishman David Haye for cruiserweight title on Sept. 28 in Paris.
HBO to do documentaries on Joe Louis and Wright-Hopkins fight.
John Duddy to fight Alessio Furlan on July 14.
but this one irks me the most....from espn.com
If Wladimir Klitschko defeats Lamon Brewster in their rematch Saturday (HBO, 5 p.m. ET) in Germany, he'll probably be saddled with a mandatory defense few would want to see. The IBF's two leading contenders are Calvin Brock and Chris Byrd, whose handlers are quietly discussing an elimination fight. Klitschko, however, has already knocked both of them out in the past 15 months and rematches serve no purpose in clarifying the heavyweight division, not to mention that they aren't economically viable. But that probably won't stop the IBF from ordering Klitschko to face the winner.
This is why people cannot unify titles...I for one would not want to see that horrible matchup. If he doesn't do it, they'll strip him.
P.S. this just in...

They said that Wlad beat Brewster with a broken left middle finger. No worries, it will take 8 weeks to heal and he will be good as new.
