    Agreed. When Gomez is on, he's a tough fight for anyone.

    Kelly Pavlik v Gary Lockett
    I don't think any will happen but the two I'd go with most are DLH v Forbes and Guzman v Arthur .

    De La Hoya probably won't be in the same condition as he was against Mayweather and even Mayorga considering Forbes is seen as a lesser opponent and not as much risk . De La Hoya is also aging now and a quick opponent like Forbes could possibly do enough to decision him . Forbes was robbed against Demetrius Hopkins and beat once hugely ranked prospect Francisco Bojado recently .
    He's shown he can beat big men before(in k9 Bundrage) and if DLH is sluggish he has a chance . With that said I still fancy DLH quite heavily .

    Arthur v Guzman , both are shockingly tight at the weight and Arthur looked terrible in his last fight when he quiet possibly disregarded Steve Foster's chances while preparing . Arthur is going to train with Wayne McCullough in Las Vegas for this so I'm going to take the not so wild guess his weight problems won't be so difficult and that he'll be in great shape . Guzman on the other hand will quite possibly disregard Arthur's chances and not be in the same shape he was for Soto . Considering Guzman is very tight at the weight this could spell disaster . Yet again I still pick Guzman to win but I see this happening more than the other ones(bar DLH v Forbes) .
