Last fight of Pacman with De La Hoya was in the light welterweight mate, and there is rated like best one. Also Haye left titles and moves to heavyweight for that reasen Admek deserved to be first because he haved three fights and gets title in the cruser.

 

Pacman beats De la Hoya in this division and will fight also Hatton in the light welterweight ....

 

Pacquiao deserved to be best this year .

 

Lets see Odo.... If one fighter is successfull in amateur boxing, I`m sure he will do better in pro.

In this year we will have also some good fighters who will turn, like Matvey Korobov, James DeGale, and some good fighters also.

 

He will beat also Hatton same like he did De La Hoya.
