How would a USA v UK & Ireland contender style match up go? All fights on neutral ground. Lightweight = Juan Diaz v Amir Khan (USA Ko) Light Welter = Nate Campbell v Ricky Hatton (UK Ko) Welterweight = Shane Mosely v Kell Brook (USA Ko) Light middle = Paul Williams v Ryan Rhodes (USA Ko) Middleweight = Kelly Pavlik v John Duddy (USA sd) Super middle = Jermaine Taylor v Carl Froch (UK Ko) Light heavy = Bernard Hopkins v Joe Calzaghe (UK ud) Cruiserweight = Steve Cunningham v Enzo macaranelli (UK sd) Heavyweight = Chris Arreola v David Haye (UK Ko) I make that a 5-4 win for UK & Ireland :happy Just realised JCs officially retired, Clinton Woods or Nathan Cleverly v Bhop :nono make that 5-4 USA :-(
Change that to : Light middle - Paul Williams V John Duddy Middleweight - Kelly Pavlik V Andy Lee Heavyweigt - Chris Arreola V Martin Rogan!!!
that's true. But our amateurs did just beat the USA 16-5 over two legs. And we'd kill the UK too, in all honesty.
Lightweight = Juan Diaz v Amir Khan (USA Ko) Light Welter = Nate Campbell v Ricky Hatton (UK UD) Welterweight = Shane Mosely v Kell Brook (USA Ko) Light middle = Paul Williams v Ryan Rhodes (USA Ko) Middleweight = Kelly Pavlik v John Duddy (USA KO) Super middle = Jermaine Taylor v Carl Froch (USA UD) Light heavy = Bernard Hopkins v Joe Calzaghe (UK ud) Cruiserweight = Steve Cunningham v Enzo macaranelli (USA UD) Heavyweight = Chris Arreola v David Haye (UK UD) 6-3 USA
Hatton>Campbell is questionable (definitely not a ko a win for Hatton) I'd rather see Hatton-Judah and I'd pick Judah Taylor>Froch
