    JMM will try like hell to get away from Pac in the early round like Pac has an infectious disease. The best chance for him is not to exchange early and take the fight deeper into the the late rounds. He is probably expecting Pac's power to diminish late in the fight. He'll be taken by surprise that it will not work. He will do enough damage but will fall short as his passiveness in the early rounds will work againsty him. Pac by close but unanimous decision. A late KO is also a possibility.


    B-Hop will make one last run and take off the 0 from Joe Calzaghe. Both guys had lengthy reigns and considered one of the best in their respective kingdoms. The main difference will be experience. Most people borders on JoeCal because they believe Hops will be too old and won't keep up with the pace JoeCal will set. They will be surprised at how impotent JoeCal will look and how easily Hops straight right finds their mark each and everytime. Joe will be a sucker to Hops waiting game and dip-duck along the ropes, and when he tries to press the issue, he'll get tagged before he can react. Hops by decision.


    Lastly,


    As good as Cotto is, he doesn't appear to have enough to beat Floyd right now. Not even close. Sure he showed he's strong, he's probably the hardest hitter at 147 right now, and has proven what he can do against a very difficult opponent in Shane Mosley. But think of this first, the scores were close, and Mosley is not exactly in his prime but on the twilight of his career. That tells you all you need to know when he faces a faster Floyd Mayweather who is a very accurate puncher. PBF by decision. Probably the most exciting fight of his career.

    i do agree with u on the 1st and 3rd points. but i feel calzaghe's puches will be in hopkins face all the time. hopkins wont get time to think and counter him because calzaghe's movement will be too much.

    although he may not land a better contect percentage rate then hopkins he will deffinately land more punches and they will be damaging ones

    the better calzaghe's opponent the better he performs.

    Have to agree with Sugarshane_24, Calzaghe to win UD over BHop. My only concern is what difference the extra few pounds will have on Joe's speed. I think he can carry it off and win over the few critics he has left. Cant see Bhop being able to slip enough of Joe's punches or return anything of merit to upset the Welshman.

    As for Pac and PBF - I'm with you...
