    H Soto vs Valero - soto is good but i feel valero would get this.

    Librado Andrade vs K Pavlik - andrade's improving and wouldn't be surprised if his size troubles pavlik.

    Urbano Antillon vs Jorge Linares - both good coming up fighters, haven't seen much of antillon fight. toss-up imo.

    D Santos vs S Mosley - mosley decision

    Steven Luevano vs Cris John - two fighters going back would be a pretty boring fight. i had chris john winning a decision or possibly a ko if he gets aggressive.

    P Williams vs Abraham - could be the size factor but PW really looked good against winky. abraham by stoppage or if william's chin hold-up, williams decision.

    H Soto vs Valero - valero hasn't beaten anyone of consequence, i think soto would crush him

    Antonio De Marco vs Amir Khan - demarco can get outboxed but he's got good chin, good heart and good stamina, none of which we can say about khan so i'll take the tougher guy

    Urbano Antillon vs Jorge Linares - linares by tko... antillon cannot hang with linares

    Tavoris Cloud vs Adrian Diaconu - good match-up... i'd say diaconu at the moment because of his experience edge

    Steven Luevano vs Cris John - i would love to see this fight... i'm a luevano fan but i think john will be able to outbox and outwork him over 12

    P Williams vs Abraham - p-will SHOULD be able to win this one easily if he uses his physical advantages... problem is he doesn't always use his physical advantages ie against quintana

    i didn't comment on pavlik-andrade and santos-mosley because those are pointless nonfeasible fights

    Dont wanna hijack the thread but if your gonna talk about boxing then you should make sure you know your ****. Khan has NO chin, true, but his heart cannot be questioned (just ask the haters) and his stamina is yet to be tested :good

    They're all good fights but they won't happen or at least some of them.
    Soto vs Valero I'd really enjoy.

    Good Fights:good

    H Soto vs Valero - Really good fight; I would actually expect it to go to points (shoot me) with Valero taking a hard won decision. There could be a few kd's along the way.

    Librado Andrade vs K Pavlik - Kelly's one-two style would work fine against Andrade; either a late mercy stoppage or Pavlik wide on points.

    Antonio De Marco vs Amir Khan - This one is the gem for me. Hard to predict, but if I was pushed I would say Khan jumps out to an early lead but gets stopped late by De Marco's relentless pressure.

    Urbano Antillon vs Jorge Linares - Linares all day; inside the distance stoppage.

    Tavoris Cloud vs Adrian Diaconu - Haven't seen enough of either; can't comment.

    D Santos vs S Mosley - If this is at LMW, which I assume it is, then I am gonna go with Santos for a tight points win.

    Steven Luevano vs Cris John - This is a pick-em, could go either way (points decision written all over it).

    P Williams vs Abraham - Both have great workrate, but I would expect Williams to utilise his height and reach to take it on points.

    good point. Khan has defo showed heart. The person who said otherwise has probably never seen him fight and is just following the esb hating crowd

    Abraham and great workrate shouldn't be in the same sentence.

    C'mon now, in that division its not bad at all.

    Everytime I've seen Abraham his workrate seems to have been very good.

    His workrate is average at best vs average opponents.
    His workrate compared to Williams's is totally irrelevant.

    Andrade. Too big, too strong, and too iron chinned
    Kahn. Too skilled and quick
    antillon is a 140 lb'er linares just moved up to jr light
    WAR! 50/50
    Mosley
    john
    williams/ close UD
