    Inspired by Ishy's thread. Which fight gets your choice both domestically and at world level? Mosley-Margo, Hatton-Pac, Skelton-Rogan?

    Thoughts, as always, are welcome:good.










    (Haven't done a thread in ages so 3 in a day is some going!:lol:)

    For me, Froch v Taylor, I gave Froch next to no chance in that fight.

    Have a feeling the swiftness and time it will take for Cotto to take Pac out will make this fight a big upset.

    The same can be said of Pac/Hatton.Not many predicted a 2nd round KO but as far as the outcomes go neither one is a big upset for me

    :lol:I actually predicted Pac would win at the time. I never thought it would happen in two rounds, though:admin! The manner of the victory was an upset, IMO.

    Mosley vs Margarito was an upset, by anybody's standards.

    Let's face it, Shane looked shot in going 11.999 rounds with a supposedly joke opponent in Mayorga, whilst Margo had destroyed Cintron and Cotto back to back.

    The manner of the victory only emphasised it further, though it only increased my respect for Margo, who took his savage beating like a man. It made Calzaghe vs Lacy look like Floyd vs Baldomir.

    have to disagree chaps, i cant see how it can be an upset when the favourite wins no matter how the victory

    OK I see what you were saying Margarito being destroyed going in as the favourite.

    Hattone vs Paquiao not because Manny won but because Hatton lost the way that he did, I never saw it coming!
