    Froch, followed by Haye with Khan miles behind. Malignaggi should be extremely easy for one with his tools. Ruiz in theory shouldn't be too hard, but he has a knack of grinding out wins against the odds, however questionable the circumstance.

    Haye/Ruiz has the potential to be the trump card here. It could either be a blow out, because Ruiz hasn't faced handspeed/power like this for a long time despite his chin, or it could turn into a real tough one for Haye.

    All things being equal I'd say Froch/Kessler.

    Can't see Khan not winning comfortably.

    Froch hardest, and will lose, Haye then Khan, have the easier fights, which they will both win comfortably.

    I don't know about tougher, neither of them are easy fights but I think Paulie is a tougher fight than a lot of people on ESB seem to think. Yes Khan has handspeed and his defence has improved but he hasn't faced anyone on Paulie's level, who's probably the first world class fighter Khan has faced. People remember Paulie the clown with the hair extensions who looked **** against N'dou and then got his ass kicked by Hatton but he gave Cotto a good fight and recently beat Juan Diaz. If it's his day he could cause problems for Khan IMO.

    Its funny how after Kessler loses to Ward (a horrible match-up that he would've had problems with at any stage) He is suddenly washed up and its a 'walk over' for Froch. Before Ward most people had Kessler dominating Froch.

    Having said all that I am picking Froch to win. LOL

    Seriously???

    Not on here much lately but have most folk been saying Kessler is washed up etc?

    Big mistake and i really hope that Froch aint thinking that, this is a hard fight for him, whilst he is coming off good wins i think a few folk seem to forget that Froch barely got by Taylor and the Dirrell fight wasnt exactly a walkover.

    In Kesslers back yard, change of venue etc this is tough fight and could end up being a good yin!

    IMO I think Haye has toughest fight coming because going into the fight Haye has got the most to lose if he gets beat.

    Maybe Ruiz isnt as skilful as Malignaggi and Kessler but both Froch and Khan could come again with being so young and Froch being in the Super 6.

    Kessler at his peak is the toughest but I think he's slightly past his best now, but home advantage makes it difficult.

    Ruiz has a knack of making fighters look bad with his style but Haye should have more than enough for him.

    Malignaggi is hand picked to be the perfect opponent to make Khan look good, he simply doesn't have the power to stop Khan but the fight will be "busy"

    Kessler losing to Ward strangely makes this even harder for Froch. Mikkel's certainly not shot he just lost to a guy, as previosuly mentioned, that was able to outbox him with a style that he couldnt deal with. However, with not only boxing the way it can be but the format of the Super 6 thrown in this makes the Froch fight potentially last chance saloon stuff for Kessler. That added to the venue and oh yea he's a more complete fighter makes this fight the hardest of the 3 by far. Froch has to make this a dirty f***in war to get past kessler imo.

    Malignaggi gettin a bit of a bum deal, he did unofficially beat Juan Diaz twice and has mixed with considerably better fighters than amir. This aint the Paulie that hatton won 10-11 rounds against, he's lookin much better with his new trainer. No im not saying he's got enough to beat khan, its great matchmaking tbh. Big name, MSG venue, good fighter but 1 that punches as hard as Ghandi would have with arthritis. he's awkward and skilled i dont think it'll be the easy night some are predicting for khan. He'll be just too strong and quick for the Magic Man but a tough nights work on his U.S debut.

    I actually fancy to do a job on Ruiz. I know only Tua stopped him so far but speed kills, it worked for RJ back in the day now Ruiz will be against the quickest fighter he's faced since RJ humilated him... oh yea and hes dynamite in his right hand. Haye TKO 4-5th.

    Been lazy and not read all you lovely peeps comments anyone thrown Mitchell-Katsidis into the miz yet?

    Bad thing about fighting the Magic man, what happens if he hurts you, even if you win to get hurt off a guy with 6 ko's is pretty embarassing and wont be forgotten, especially if youre name happens to be Amir Khan.

    Paulie wobbled Diaz but didnt have a clue what to do next as it never happens. If he can hurt Diaz who has better whiskers than Khan, does anyone think he can wobble Khan and what would be the damage to Khans reputation if this happened?

    If Khan ever gets KO'd again I think he's finished as a headline fighter, its just the way boxing is these days, 2 or 3 KOs and your a bum in the eyes of a great many "fans".

    I personally don't like Khan and think he has a bad KO loss coming his way again but Malignaggi isn't the man to do it. Khan will stop him inside 6
