    My picks

    Gatti sd
    Billam Smith close pts win
    Opetaia ud but that really is a close fight
    Eubank tko 10
    Fenech sd
    Conteh and kovalev I can't pick
    Bellew tko 4
    Rosario tko 11
    Arguello tight decision or maybe late stoppage cuts
    Degale pts
    Bellew tko 7 up at cruiserweight it would be a different fight. Stevenson wouldn't be as good at cruiser and bellew found his best stuff there

    Arturo gatti v George kambosas: Gatti would stop Kambosos

    Horace notice v Chris billam Smith at heavyweight but notice was only ever about 208 or 209 in his peak: no clue

    Jai opetaia v Jerry quarry: Quarry, his losses were pretty much only to the elite of his time. Jai looks good thus far but I'd need to see more.

    Chris eubank v George groves: I'm assuming you mean Chris sr. and if you do sr. by UD12

    Jeff fenech v Barry mcguigan: Fenech

    Sergey kovalev v John conteh: Conteh

    Tony bellew v Carl froch right now at 205 lbs lol: :facepalm:

    Regis prograis v Edwin rosario: Rosario...........

    Ricky Hatton v alexis arguello: depends what country the fight is in TBH

    Felix Trinidad v James degale at 168: probably Degale as Tito has no resume at the weight

    Tony bellew v adonis Stevenson at 200 lbs has been discussed. Bellew was completely outclassed by Adonis and it had nothing to do with weight. Going up in weight ain't changing that.
