    To back up B-Hop, both of those fight's are a toss up..
    (IF everyone shows up, like we are used to seeing them)

    He's business partners with Mosley, of course he's going to pick Mosley. He also picked Hatton over Mayweather because of Golden Boy; do you think a master boxer like B-Hop would ever do that if he were objective?

    He picked the same as me. Mosley by SD which is the way I have it. Smart guy!

    I don't think those are terribly bad picks. Especially the Shane one. True, he's going out on a limb a little bit, but it isn't like picking Samuel Peter...

    If Margo doesn't come "fired up" and "ready to go" he will get beaten.

    Obviously he is going to back Mosley. It also seems as though people have written Diaz off altogether. Expect a close fight.

    Mosley isn't a poor pick. He has a decent chance.

    Juan Diaz is a tougher one IMO. The key to beating JMM is being powerful enough to really razzle him and knock him off his game, aggressive enough to bully him around the ring and have an unrelenting workrate. Diaz has two of those things but he lacks the power IMO to really hurt JMM. He's also extremely vacant in terms of defense and his corner sometimes gives him poor advice.

    JMM in a 8-4/9-3 sort of win.

    This means nothing. Many boxers picked, including mexican ones, Cotto over Margarito. His will, hard work, determination, and pressure proved otherwise.

    How many others at WW, besides Williams, has a real shot at beating Margarito. You make it seem like half of the division has a real shot a beating him. Did you forget he is the champion and tko'd Cotto? Oh forgot, thats why you hate on him so much.

    Marquez is Golden Boy and he's going for Diaz before people get on him backing the company heads.
