Pavlik/Hopkins Calzaghe/Jones Hatton/Malignaggi Pacquiao/ De La Hoya On paper Hatton/ Malignaggi is the most interesting fight. Still it will be interesting to see how Hopkins fares against Pavlik. Jones/ Calzaghe is not at all a superfight and Pacquiao/ De La Hoya is a seismic mismatch. Which one are you most looking forward to seeing?
JC vs. Jones, though all of them could easily sell as not being for legacy, just for the money...that's sad.
of the 4 in your list. 1. Pac vs Oscar 2. Hopkins vs Pavlik 3. Calzaghe vs Jones 4. Hatton vs Malignaggi
Ugh. Not a huge fan of any of those fights, honestly. I think they're all seismic mismatches, except for Pavlik-Hopkins, which will probably be a boring fight simply because that's Hopkins' style these days. IMHO, Calzaghe-Jones is still a bigger mismatch than Pac-Hoya, FWIW.
The Hatton fight I'm one of the few who think that Paulie can pull an upset though I still don't know who I'm rooting for mainly because I don't like rooting against Mayweather Sr.
Jones vs. Calzaghe, because I want to see Calzaghe get obliterated. I doubt it will happen though, but I want it bad.
Pavlik vs Hopkins, because I'm curious to see how the young lion handles the old bull Malignaggi vs Hatton, to see if Hatton has anything significant left in him Pacquiao vs De La Hoya, because it will be like going to the circus Calzaghe vs Jones Jr, I just cant get excited over this one
Pacquiao/ De La Hoya of course......... JK!!! Jones/Calzaghe, I want to see if Roy can turn back the clock one more time and pull off the miracle. Pavlik/Hopkins is a close second.
Maybe but I think it's the best overall match up Hatton - Malignaggi. Contrasting styles, both still at a good fighting age, resident in the same weight division and both with something to prove coming off poor recent showings. Pacquiao - DLH. Shameless moneyspinning weight jumping fight meaningless in the context of rankings. But could have some good action and both in decent fighting age. Guess it depends what the weight making does to each of them. Pavlik - Hopkins. Good fighters, Hopkins too old. 1 exciting, 1 not. I hope Pavlik is just doing it to try and force a Calzaghe fight and isn't setting a weight hopping precident and will settle at a weight after this and bring some meaning back to holding a title. Don't see this fight as anything more than Calzaghe bait. Jones - Calzaghe. JC should have chased this years ago but now I don't care. Jones no longer the trophy he would have been. Could be good to watch if Jones is fired up but I got bored of JC some years ago. After a decade wasting his potential on mostly 2nd rate challengers and doing no challenging himself he's now fighting a guy who he claimed was past it and pointless in his autobiography. Also recently blamed his resume on Warren despite willingly resigning with him for over 10 years!! Apart from a vague hope that RJJ wins I really don't care.
