    I was wrong about Pavlik. I didn't think he had the skills or the chin to become champ.

    im still not bought on cotto. he may have beaten good oposition and now a 2 wiegh tworld champion the problem is he is too easy to hit. he also is huge on fight night usually wieghting over 158 pounds. which is remarkable.

    i dont think he has a weak chin i just think he doesnt have the defence to block simple 1-2's.

    this may be miscrediting his win but mosley is not a pure boxer he can box a bit but he stays kinda upright and prefers to use quick flurries of hooks not striaght punches.

    I always liked David Haye but I never once thought he'd go this far.

    147 to 158 is not that much. Both JMM and Pacquiao recently added more weight then that in their rematch

    Sorry... i still dont rate Eubank. Only ever held the WBO. Beat a good Nigel Benn in their first fight but for me that is all he ever done!

    If that happens I will happily say I underrated him.

    Truth be told. I can see him being KTFO by Haye

    Johnny Nelson. As much as I hate the **** I didnt expect him to beat Thompson and survive as long as he did. Junior Witter would probably be my other choice.

    Damn right he is. Young Shane probably beats Cotto. Young Shane would also have a good chance against Judah. However, old man Mosley is going to have a hard time dealing with Super Judah.
