in all of these contests? marquez vs gamboa hatton vs witter cotto vs margarito guzman vs pacquiao haye vs klitscho p.williams vs berto although we would have a big favourite in all of these contests i think they would all be interesting matchups
Well not easily... but... Let's wait with Gamboa a few months... he's not yet fighting vs. the elite Hatton UD/TKO (easy) Cotto UD (easy) Guzman vs. PacMan... hm... tough one... hm... Roach will do ANYTHING to avoid Guzman and that says something... 50-50 IMO Wowa by KO (he SHOULD be the heavy favorie but both guys could walk into something big) At this stage of Berto's career, I'm with Williams UD (punch output, reach advantage, jab, not easy to hit).
I'll have a go- Marquez UD (A bit early yet for Gamboa) Witter UD (though might cut Ricky up) Cotto UD Pacman UD Klitschko KO 5 Williams UD
Marquez > Gamboa (UD) Witter > Hatton (TKO) Cotto > Margarito (KO) Pacquiao > Guzman (UD) Klitscho > Haye (KO) Williams > Berto (UD)
Nopes . . . those are all 50/50 fights except for Haye/Klits and Williams/Berto. I'd easily pick Klits and Williams in those fights. :yep
Not sure if Gamboa could handle Marquez yet, but he's pretty damn impressive so far. I'll call that one after Hatton beats Lazcano Cotto v Margorito is the REAL deal fight I want to see in the WW division, screw PBF v Cotto, this is THE matchup. Margorito can take a great shot and won't stop pressuring Cotto, can Cotto handle a focused Margorito? I'd still pick Cotto, but I give Tony a decent to fair chance of pulling it out. Guzman over Pac, but very close, like 115-113, and very controversial. Haye has a punchers chance, but that said, his chin is as bad or worse than Wlads, and Wlad has a HUGE size advantage. Williams would out work Berto right now, but give Berto another year or two.
-maybe later Gamboa would b ready, but UD or stoppage for JMM -HAtton vs Witter, its pretty even, i guess whomever has better head movement -Margarito by late stoppage -Guzman UD or late stoppage -Klit's jab will win -give Berto some time...Williams UD
marquez vs gamboa gamboa announces himself but loses a close decision hatton vs witter i think witter frustrates ricky but loses a decision cotto vs margarito cotto wins a ud guzman vs pacquiao pacquiao stops him (at this moment in time) haye vs klitscho klitscho k.o before the 3rd p.williams vs berto williams ud
Marquez vs Gamboa - Gamboa's the best prospect in boxing right now, but it's to early to really tell how he'd go. Marquez UD Hatton vs Witter - Witter close UD Cotto vs Margarito - Cotto Wide UD or Late TKO (cuts/accumilation) Guzman vs Pacquiao - Guzman 117-111ish Haye vs Klitscho - Klitschko KO P.Williams vs Berto - Williams UD/Late TKO
the easiest for me is haye vs wlad - i think wlad easily keeps haye at the end of his jab as long as he wants, then starts dissecting him for a few rounds, then knocks him out and PW i think has no problem with berto just imo but very good list
I'd confidently pick: Marquez Hatton Cotto Pacquiao Klitschko Williams Cotto-Margarito is probably the closest to happening out of those mentioned on the list. And people are going to be surprised at what a savage ass kicking Cotto gives him, even though Margarito is a solid fighter.
marquez ud12 (but give gamboa 1 or 2 more years and i might change my pick) witter ud12 cotto by tko pacquiao ud12 klitschko by ko williams ud12
I really have never realized what people see in Andre Berto, particularly when people say that he's the heir apparent for the welterweight crown. The dude just gets hit way too easily. He would never be able to duplicate the kind of performance Quintana put up to overcome PW's reach advantage.
