    Hmm i think Donaire wouldn't last to see the 10th with Naz. Didn't Manny Steward say Naz hit harder than Lennox?

    Dunno bout Donaire Naz but a lot of people are building Donaire up as a phenom but I think Tapia beats Donaire at superfly and bantam.
    Don't think Donaires power could get to Tapia. Could see Tapia forcing the fight on the inside with a very high workrate. Tapia rolling with Donaires shots on the inside and beating Donaire to the body and winning a decision.

    Dunno if that's a shock though

    Once Tapia lands to body i think Donaire would fall apart, i don't think Donaire's a fan of people pressing him. As you say Tommy he is being built up to be a phenom but he's extremely talented but can be ordinary as well.

    I'd fancy at this point Tapia to win, Donaire's still got things to prove obviously.

    Khan beats mayweather comfortably, he has the ability to stick to a game plan even when he gets tagged, and has rapid hands, faster than mayweathers, all of this plus roach, i feel khan beats him

    Mayweather has the timing to offset his speed though.. I think it'd be similar to Corrales.. How does Corrales vs Khan go down at 135 and 140?

    As I've said before, Borkhorsor would soundly outbox, then beat up not just Donaire but most Flyweights that have ever lived.

    This. I wouldn't have Camacho beating him at 130 either.

    The sheer amount of punches he throws in his combo's would be difficult for mayweather to handle, who i feel has the speed advantage over pretty much anyone other than khan, and when he has met someone with equal(-ish) speed, zab, he was losing the first four, what lost it for zab was his inability to keep doing what he was doing, which i think khan would be able to keep up for 12 rounds (no ko)

    It's the combos he throws that would be his downfall. Not enough variety and sloppy feet will see Floyd land his sharp, accurate right hand when he figures out his patterns and have him in trouble constantly (late K.O)

    Its not volume that gives Mayweather trouble if anything that just plays straight into his hands leaves more opening for him to potshot. An unothodox powerful boxer puncher would **** him up.

    Prime Miguel Cotto could outpoint a Welter Weight Julio Cesar Chavez.

    Chavez being a slow starter, do u think Cotto can bag enough early rounds to grind out a tight points victory. I think it's possible as long as Cotto doesn't start gassing, which against JCC could well be the case
