    The 2 megafights i wanted to see this year look set to happen and i'm torn 50/50 with both of them so can we do the double or not - i change my mind each day. (oops...if u havn't already realised then "both win" relates to the Brits winning)

    Seriously, they both can win but they both could gets stopped It depends how the training camps go and how they arrive in the ring mentally

    Pac and Roach are going out to wind up Hatton then all the gameplan goes out of the window

    While the Klitchskos are trying to downplay the threat of Haye by saying he's mouthy and that they both want to fight him they want to take away Haye's confidence in his abilitys

    I think there is a lot more bartering before that fights sealed 'cos Klitchskos are still throwing around Arreola's name as a possible

    I'm a glass half full kinda guy, so I'm going with both to win!

    Seriously tough, both Hatton and Haye will be underdogs for their respective fights...Can they both win - YES. Will they both win - I hope so!

    Both will lose. Both could be bad defeats.

    I have a feeling both will lose to be honest, though Hatton has the better chance than Haye. If Hatton can impose his style, stay close to Pac, get on his chest and rip to the body he has a good chance. May depend on what style of referee we get. Haye, I would love him to prove me wrong but I just see him getting demolished by Wlad. It's one thing taking a punch from a cruiserweight, but getting in the ring with a power punching 6'6" 245lb behemoth is another entirely. The one chance he has is to try to lad his own heavy guns first and "do a Sanders" on Wlad, which is a possibiity as Wlad's own whiskers aren't great. I think he's got the better fight of the brothers - if he was fighting Vitali I'd say absolutely no chance!

    Both are winnable, but it'll take some doing.

    I think Hatton has a 45% chance of victory.

    I think Haye has about 40% chance of victory.

    Neither are favourite, but both might win.

    Underdog, maybe, but I think Hatton might be able to overcome. Not sure about Haye though, he's yet to feel a 'real' heavyweight's punch. Both could potentially win, but I'm expecting Hatton to win, Haye to lose.

    looking at paquiao and hatton i feel hatton will be too big, too strong and too agressive for paqiuao. they are both very tentative fighters and now hatton is working with mayweather his footwork and accuracy has picked up alot. however pacqiuao and roach have there corner knitted and if they get there game plan in order which i know they will focus on come the middle rounds we may see the old hatton becoming ruthless with manny taking advantage of this. hatton to win 8th round stoppage.

    haye and klitscho could go either way both guys can bang and theres always the question of wladimirs chin. watching wladimir rahman wladimir always looked in control but never too dangerous or classy, maybes he had alot left in the tank who knows. if he was to come out like that against haye i think haye might do the business and force wladimirs corner to pull their guy out. i hope haye takes this seriously and prepares impeccablly, this is going to be by far the toughest test of his career. i hope on june 20th we have a british heavyweight world cahmpion, but i think this may be 1 step too far for haye at this point in his career.
