    Who wins in these match ups?


    HW: Wlad Klitschko v Arreola
    CW: Adamek v Cunningham (Haye is considered a HW)
    LHW: Calzaghe v Tarver
    SMW: Kessler v Taylor
    MW: Abraham v Pavlik
    LMW: De la Hoya v Dzindziruk
    WW: Bonsu v Williams
    LWW: Hatton v Malignaggi
    LW: Campbell v Romanov
    SFW:Arthur v Juarez

    Any idea on some lower weight class match ups?

    Arreola vs. Wlad isn't exactly a great matchup either. Arreola is an even more limited Tua in my view with less power.

    I'd pick Wlad, Cunningham, Calzaghe, Taylor, Pavlik, De La Hoya, Williams, Hatton and I don't know about LW and SFW.

    Wlad
    Adamek
    Calzaghe
    Kessler
    Abraham
    De La Hoya
    Williams
    Hatton
    Campbell
    Juarez

    I could go either way on Hatton-Malignaggi, so it could be 5-5. Though I would go with Hatton so 6-4 Europe.

    De La Hoya :think

    I see the southpaw jab working for Dzinz, and once you take Oscar's jab away he ain't got much left at the moment. He could follow the Sturm blueprint, but you know...actually not get highway robbed.

    Here is a list of good fights..... I have become a Boxrec warrior for ten mins!

    Wladimir Klitschko vs John Ruiz
    David Haye vs Steve Cunningham
    Joe Calzaghe vs Chad Dawson
    Mikkel Kessler vs Jermain Taylor
    Arthur Abraham vs Kelly Pavlik
    Jamie Moore vs Oscar De La Hoya
    Jackson Bonsu vs Paul Williams
    Ricky Hatton vs Paulie Malignaggi
    Yuri Romanov vs Nate Campbell
    Alex Arthur vs Rocky Juarez
    Oleg Yefimuvich vs Robert Guererro
    Rendall Munroe vs Mike Oliver
    Wladimir Sidorenko vs Nestor Rocha

    Struggling to go any lower!

    I think Europe would win at least half of those.

    I'd give Dzinziruk a chance, and I know people say styles make fights, but tbh he struggled with Konecny and Oscar, although past his best, he's still a very good fighter. I think the Sturm fight was just due to him not being comfortable at the weight, I mean he was never cut out for middle even now, but 154 atm is his optimum weight.
