- Please don't feel you have to make picks for all 112 - Vic Darchinyian v Nonito Doniare 112 - Fernando Montiel v Christian Mijares 118 - Rafael Marquez v Israel Vasquez IV 126 - Chris John v Edwin Valero 130 - Juan Manuel Marquez v Nate Campbell 140 - Ricky Hatton v Timothy Bradley 147 - Antonio Margrito v Paul Williams II 147 - Miguel Cotto v Josh Clottey 154 - Vernon Forrest v Cory Spinks Which of these fights do you think would answer most questions about the sport right now? Which do you think would be the best fight?
Winners in bold: 112 - Vic Darchinyian v Nonito Doniare ( BEST FIGHT; A really tough one to call McGrain, but I'll go with the victor from the original contest; has the potential to be an entertaining war and I wouldn't count Darchinyian out completely but Donaire KO) 112 - Fernando Montiel v Christian Mijares (tight points victory for Montiel - I was saying this even when Mijares was being hyped off the planet before the Darchinyan fight) 118 - Rafael Marquez v Israel Vasquez IV (Rafa takes this one on a late stoppage (cuts possibly) to even things out and set up fight V) 126 - Chris John v Edwin Valero (I have no idea who to pick?????) 130 - Juan Manuel Marquez v Nate Campbell (Late stoppage for Marquez) 140 - Ricky Hatton v Timothy Bradley (the king is dead! long live the king! - Close UD) 147 - Antonio Margrito v Paul Williams II (Antonio starts a bit quicker this time, and piles up the rounds down the stretch - Close UD) 147 - Miguel Cotto v Josh Clottey (Cotto is still a class; he ain't turned into a bum just because Margarito wore him down - mid range UD). 154 - Vernon Forrest v Cory Spinks (depends which Vernon turns up, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt by saying the best current version - Wide UD)
I still think the most important fight in boxing would be Pac v JMM III. The first two were much too close (and, I think, controversial) to say conclusively who is pfp #1.
Rafael Marquez v Israel Vasquez IV Vasquez is just to strong. I think the fights have taken a lot more out of Marquez and id go for a round 8 stoppage to Vasquez Ricky Hatton v Timothy Bradley I think Bradley would be to strong for Ricky at this point. Ricky is defo past prime. Hopefully still has enough in the tank to take the magic man. Antonio Margrito v Paul Williams II Paul Williams outboxes margo via a close but fair UD
i agree on this. but i guess this will only happen if PAC loses to DLH the way things are going now...
I agree with most except I think Darchinyan reverses the loss to Donaire and KO's Donaire in a very exciting fight. Chris John v Valero will never take place as Valero has moved up and I don't see John going up. Hatton v Bradley I am just not sure on at all.
I Think Margo Should Fight Williams At 154lbs. I Think Williams Would Beat Margo At 147 And Even More Clearly At 154...i Think Margo Is Clearly Overated And His Style Works Against Smaller Fighters...that Style Isnt Gonna Work As He Moves Up In Wieght...margo Isnt A Big 154 Pounder (hence His Move Back To 147) Margo's Is Lucky He Didnt Face A Prime Tito At 147lbs...he Woud Have Gotten A Joppy Style Beating... Lol
