    Hopkins V Wright
    Hatton v Castillo
    Hatton V Mayweather
    Mayweather v Mosley
    Kessler V Pavlik
    Kessler v Hopkins
    Pavlik v Froch

    I think the fresher younger and busier Wright can beat Hop. At peaks, Hop definitelt beats Wright, but Hop is past it now.

    Hatton to vicious and busy and tough evenn for Castillo. He has a higher workrate and can throw shots non stop and has a great chin.

    I think Hatton's style will give Mayweather big trouble. Floyd I don't think hits hard enough to stop Hattons relentless attacks. It's tough call but I'll gop with a peak Hatton to outwork Floyd

    Mosley at peak beats Floyd, but Mosley of today maybe. If he is as good as
    Oscar he wins. Floyd to me is a bit overrated and has trouble with styles like Shane's, guys with speed and stamina and workrate

    All fights which could go either way however here we go :
    Hopkins v Wright-Hopkins
    Hatton v Castillo-Hatton
    Hatton v Mayweather-Mayweather
    Mayweather v Mosley-Mosley
    Kessler v Pavlik-Kessler
    Kessler v Hopkins-Kessler
    Pavlik v Froch-Pavlik

    Explanations: I feel Winky will be forced to come forward more against Hopkins and will abandon his guard a bit , this will allow Hopkins to be more effective and I fancy him to win a decision(something around 116-112)

    I think Castillo isn't near the force he once was and isn't as effective up at Light-Welter(this is based on his last 2 fights) . The wars might have caught up with him .(Hatton 117-110)

    Hatton also isn't the force he once was , that ballooning up in weight has taken away some of his intensity and workrate . He hasn't lost quite as much as Castillo but he's lost enough to not be able to pressure Mayweather quite enough .(115-113 Mayweather)

    Mayweather hasn't looked quite the same at Welterweight(and Light Middle) for me and I feel he was badly troubled by the fast hands of Judah in their fight till Judah invariably slowed down and his his head . Many believe Mosley has quicker hands than Mayweather , I'm not so sure but I do however feel Mayweather is troubled by quick hands . I think Mosley's style would give him fits and it's something Mayweather hasn't really come across too often . (Mosley 116-112)

    Kessler is tight and compact and hard to land on , Pavlik can be a bit open at times . Kessler has a really good workrate too and I feel with his better skill would simply be able to outbox Pavlik if he needed to . Kessler can punch and with the added weight I fancy Kessler to win by late stoppage(Kessler TKO 11/12) .


    Kessler v Hopkins- Kessler to active for Hopkins and beats him on a steady workrate(115-113) .

    Pavlik v Froch- Pavlik has a great straight right , Froch loves to leave his left hand practically on the canvas........this would be the type of fight to teach him why he should have a proper guard . Pavlik TKO in 10 as Froch's corner retire him . Froch not to go down as his iron chin keeps him up but he simply takes too many .
