Who beats who ? In Your Opinion?

Cotto > DLH - UD
Cotto > Williams - KO
Margarito > Cotto - UD
Williams > Margarito - SD

Calzaghe > Pavlik - UD (clear)
Hopkins > Pavlik - SD
Pavlik > Wright - UD (close)

Hatton > Paulie - KO
Hatton > Pac - KO (brutal - both fighters down)
DLH > Hatton - KO (entertaining, Hatton in front on cards but size tells)

To the author - if you really think Paulie will beat Hatton, you need to go and watch some boxing. Paulie was given a gift in the rematch against N'Dou, who is basically a clone of Hatton but 30% less skilled in all departments.

 

cotto>oscar - close one, I'd favor Oscar though
cotto>margarito - Cotto is gonna beat him silly
cotto>williams - Cotto by TKO
williams>margarito - Margarito would take the rematch

pavlik>hopkins - Pavlik by TKO
pavlik>calzaghe - Pavlik by KO
winky>pavlik - close....I'm now favoring Pavlik due to Wrights inactivity and seemingly "$ only" motivation

paqiou>hatton - Hatton stoppage
oscar>hatton - Oscar brutal KO
maliganagi>hatton - Hatton hugs his way to an ugly UD

clottey>zab - Zab by UD

Zab (if he turns up plus the law of averages and all that)

I would put my money on those calls player......

 

*Cotto UD or late rounds stoppage DLH
*Cotto UD Margarito (But Margarito also has the potential to stop Cotto)
*Williams TKO late rounds Cotto (If Cotto shows wear against Margarito and has a hard time with the Pace Margarito sets, then that will make it tough against someone like Williams)
*Williams UD Margarito

*Pavlik UD Hopkins
*Pavlik TKO Calzaghe
*Pavlik UD Wright ... even though I think that Wright can also beat Pavlik by UD

*Pacquiao TKO Hatton
*Oscar TKO Hatton
*Hatton TKO Malignaggi

*Clottey UD Judah

 

Amir khan TKO7 Nate cambell

Malignalli beat Hatton? noway!!!! the greatest boxer of my era beats Hatton and now every1 can apparently win a UD against him??? wtf!

 

I don't see how Pavlik would KO Calzaghe.

Joe tends to toy with come forward fighters, as he did with Kessler from 5-11 (inclusive) when he doesn't get dragged into a meeting of two sherman tanks - Pavlik is great at what he does, but doesn't have the ring savvy to cope with Joe (as Hopkins did) and I see nothing but a clear UD, 117-111 or 118-110 even.

 

BB that call of 117-111 is just about spot on, depends if Kelly has plans B's and C's which we just dont know about him yet.....

 

cotto-oscar>close UD for cotto
cotto-margarito>close UD for cotto
cotto-williams>cotto by TKO
williams-margarito>williams UD

pavlik-hopkins>pavlik by TKO
pavlik-calzaghe>pavlik by TKO
winky-pavlik>close UD for pavlik

pacquiao-hatton> go with the bigger hatton, but if pac is successful i say toss up

oscar-hatton> oscar TKO
malignaggi-hatton>hatton close UD

clottey-zab>clottey by UD

 

I think Calzaghe is beatable, very much so.

BUT

1. Do not try and out work him - it ain't happening
2. Do not try and win against him on the inside - Joe is very underrated in this area.
3. No wild bombs - unless in last round and losing!

Basically - you need to switch from toe to toe, inside and outside fighting, backed up by a pawing left jab and a straight right, which Calzaghe eats all day and night. If you stick to the same tactics all the time (as Pavlik generally does - albeit excellently) you have no chance. Calzaghe has a freakish ability to determine what his opponent is trying to do and work out a way to counter - perhaps his best attribute.

For me, the guy with the ideal style to beat Calzaghe (P4P obviously) is Kostya Tszyu.

Tszyu had a fair workrate, but not excessive, and had the punches that Calzaghe doesn't like to take. With this in mind, Tszyu was never one to go chasing a fighter, and was quite happy to sit back and take a few shots waiting for the chance to unleash. With Tszyu having a decent chin, and Calzaghe being less than stellar at chasing an opponent down, this is how I reach the outcome!

 

Cotto Vs. De La Hoya: De La Hoya by UD.
Cotto Vs. Margarito: Margarito by TKO. 7th RD.
Cotto Vs. Williams: Cotto by UD
Williams Vs. Margarito II: Williams by UD

Pavlik Vs. Hopkins: Pavlik by UD
Pavlik Vs. Calzaghe: Calzaghe by UD
Wright Vs. Pavlik: Pavlik by UD

Pacquiao Vs. Hatton: Hatton by TKO 10th RD. (Cuts)
Hatton Vs. De La Hoya: De La Hoya TKO 11th RD. (Cuts)
Maliganagi Vs. Hatton: Hatton by UD

Clottey Vs. Judah: Clottey by K.O. 5th Rd.

These fights are a perfect example of the aged old saying...
"Styles make Fight's"

 

I don't think the DLH fight would last as long as 11 - Oscar is simply too big. But then again, both have the signature left hook - it is the slashing right that gives Hatton nightmares (see Magee, Collazo & Mayweather).

Either way, there would be a 2 on Hatton's record!

He would throw Paulie around the ring like a rag doll on way to a brutal KO, and would get off the canvas to beat Manny.

 

Here is a couple other's just for fun (IMO)

Mayweather Jr. Vs. Cotto: Mayweather Jr. by UD
Mayweather Jr. Vs. Margarito: Mayweather Jr. by UD
Mayweather Jr. Vs. Williams: Mayweather Jr. by UD
Mayweather Jr. Vs. Pacquiao: Mayweather Jr. by K.O. 5th Rd.
Mayweather Jr. Vs. Hatton II: Mayweather Jr. by UD
Mayweather Jr. Vs. De La Hoya II: Mayweather Jr. by UD

This is the reason I don't understand Mayweather Jr.'s logic to retire.
I can honestly project him winning against all these guy's rather easy.
The only peep's with a legit shot at beating him would be Oscar & Miguel.
Unless Margarito hit's a Grandslam Homerun, or Williams GIANTism as a WW works in his advantage against the smaller Mayweather Jr?
