    Who and why?

    Today's Oscar De La Hoya vs Cotto?
    Prime James Toney vs Joe Calzaghe?
    Hatton vs Witter?
    Manny Paciquao vs Raheem (who UDed Morales easy)?

    Oscar (Cotto is just too vulnerable, and Oscar doesn't let anyone off the hook when they are hurt like Cotto gets hurt by much lesser punchers)
    Calzaghe (His style is all wrong for Toney)
    Hatton (Although I think that it is a tougher fight than most would think. Hatton would win if he comes in great shape)
    Raheem (The fight would have to take place at 135, and I don't think that Manny could perform as well at 135. I could see Raheem just outboxing him, and not being so bothered by Pacman's speed or power at 135)

    That is actually my picks as well except Witter vs Hatton which I think would go either way, edging witter. Witter has improved dramatically. His power and counters were very impressive. He always had great speed too. I think that is enough to beat Hatton. Hatton needs someone to stand in front of him which neither floyd or witter will which will take away his fight plan.

    I agree Joe vs James would look much like Jones vs James. James lacks footwork but got great in fighting. Joe would get a UD.

    I think Raheem will box Pac's ear off. He is pretty fast and big for that weight.

    I think Oscar is bigger and more skilled than Cotto even at this stage of career. He is taller, faster, and prolly hit harder. Cotto's got a puncher's chance.
